I was laying on my back in bed last night trying to find a pain free position for my elbow with bursitis when I hit something solid on the way up and my arm got caught on it a little bit. It was the bottom of my rib cage. I haven't felt that for decades! When I stand up all I I can see is this floppy fluffy belly that looks like I just gave birth to twins. This is the first time I have noticed a difference in the basketball I call my stomach and I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel! Almost makes this six week stall bearable. (almost, not quite!)

Istn't that great! Every so often I look at my legs and wonder whose they are, or my wrists and fingers! I don't think the head will ever catch up and remember.

Bone finding - lmao! I'm looking forward to that...and to seeing muscles again! I used to have muscular thighs from biking all the time but the fat kept them mostly covered up.

Good job on your success!

Yeah FJM, congrats on the redistribution of weight. More importantly - who knew that rib cages would be such a beautiful thing?

That stall is bound to break sometime!

Yeah, now I am anxiously awaiting the appearance of collar bones. Or cheek bones. But I would give all that up for a peek at a waist!

That is great!! What a great feeling! I was on the phone with my mom today and felt my lower leg, and was like, WOW, I can feel my shin bone again :) And I still have over 100 pounds to lose! Can't wait to see my collar bones again :) :)

I guess there are other ways to measure weight lose besides the scale, it's fun to notice our knew bodies. I realized my neck looks like it grew 3 inches.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
