So, I've been sleeved for 7 months now. I have been in a stall for a few weeks, but I'm in the process of changing things up a bit and I am hopeful my scale will be a little bit nicer to me in the weeks to come.

However, there is SO much more to getting smaller than just looking at what my scale says!! I went back and made a bunch of face screen shots of how much my face has shrunk in the last 7 months, and even going back to when I used to weight well over 300 Lbs. I'd say at the end of the day, I'm a VERY happy and VERY successful person!!

And here's to my last 40 or so pounds. They say the last of it comes off slowly, well I think I'm set in my ways now and that to me is no big deal. I can already find all kinds of cute clothes anywhere. Not only that, I'm healthier today than I ever have been. My panels are excellent, no signs of any type of blood sugar issues, cholesterol is outstanding and my High Blood Pressure is GONNNNEEEEE!!!!

I've come so far, simply because I used to wear a size 28W / and 3X tops. Today I'm fitting nicely in 14's and Medium tops. I even have some 14's that are getting a little loose and I'm constantly having to pull them up. Not only that, a few weeks ago I actually was able to put on a pair of TENS!!!!!!! I was sooo stoked, I think I may have even shed a little tear... heee!!!

My Ring Size has gone from an 8 1/2 down to a 5 1/2 now. My fingers are so skinny, that I do recognize - and always COOOOOLD!!! LOL :D Anyway, I'm just so happy to be able to share this with all of you. I'm on top of the world, I feel super amazing and most of all CONTENT.

Until next time...

Wow what a difference to look from your highest weight to where you are now! What an amazing journey. I think I have been inspired to take a face and body shot once a month to see my reduction in size :D .

Congratulations on your successes!

      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!!
