WOW!!!! You all nearly made me cry with your lovely comments!!! :D Thank you all so much! It IS hard work, just not AS hard as it would be without my sleeve... ;)

I just want to say to anyone who is on the fence about the sleeve, I was on that same fence for over a year. Now I'm sitting here wondering why I took so flippin long to just jump right in... regardless I'm here now and I'M ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!!!!

Again thank you each and every one for making this girl feel so special!!!!!

(((((((HUGS)))))))

***Side note: I've noticed since my running my belly has flattened out a great deal. My legs too are shrinking away, and for me that has *always* been my hardest and toughest spot to lose. I have no doubt that my last 50 Lbs will all come off my thighs!!! :lol: 25 Lbs a piece... lmao!!! Anyway, I owe my body shaping all to my running. You really have to hold your whole body in while doing it, it's like a total body workout. I CANNOT say enough good things about it... that is if you enjoy doing it.

Wow!! I can't wait to run again!! I'm just over 2 weeks out and my goal is to run a half marathon. I'm going to shoot for a 5k late summer. How long after surgery did you start running?

Ps- you really do suit pink ; )

Thank you !!! :D

Trust me, all of you will be where I am right now - in time. All you have to do is follow the plan and trust in it. You'll likely have your stalls and slow downs, but no matter what YOU WILL GET THERE!!!

I just started running about 2 months ago now. I signed up for the 5k and that really motivated me to work harder and harder. However, I was up and walking the same day as surgery.

I would also like to point out that it wasn't but a few months before surgery that my PCP sent me to an orthopedist for my knees. They are really jacked up. The orthopedist recommended surgery on both to clean them out due to arthritis and all the damage I did to them from being so heavy for so long. I put that on hold though so I could have a chance to lose weight and get rid of any unnecessary weight and pressure on them. I at least wanted to be able to have *some* mobility during my knee surgeries.

But... here I am today and my knees are really holding up excellently!!! I take good care to keep them on my mind at all times during my running (very important). They do still have their moments, as arthritis is a dibilitating disorder and will never get better, rather will get worse over time. I just wanted to say that losing weight has been the very best thing I have ever done for them. :)

Hang in there y'all!!! It's GOING to happen. NO DOUBT!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
