This thread is amazing !! I am so happy for every single one of you !! This has just reconfirmed that I am doing the right thing in having this surgery. I'm scheduled for December 17th, and this just gave me the boost I needed to get through the preop diet. Congrats to every single one of you!!

I went clothing shopping today and actually ENJOYED it!!

It hard to know what size to grab because I still see myself as bigger so I take a whole range. When the size small sweater actually fit me I clapped and did a happy dance!! I could have cried. Spent too much money on clothes today but I so needed them and it was such a treat to spoil myself!!

I can remember 6 months ago when I hated clothes shopping and the clothes I tried on were always too small instead of too big. I'm so grateful for my sleeve and proud of myself for working hard on this journey!!!

And...you should have seen my boyfriends face when I showed him my cute new skinny jeans and tight T-shirt. Haha! I told him "they make me feel so skinny". He replied "that's because you are so skinny...and sexy".

What a difference 4 months can make!!

When you get to throw out your blood pressure medication, because your blood pressure is too low.

Also, when your resting heart rate goes from 77 to 64.

When you walk into church a little late wearing a pencil skirt, fitted shirt and heels and several friends come up to you after and say they didn't even recognize you and were wondering who the new girl was!

When you spend weeks wooing a woman and she just up and pulls a disappearing act. Then you replace her in less than 48 hours because you can. Seriously, who invests weeks and then just vanishes? Her loss according to the pinch hitter lol.

This weekend we decorated our Christmas tree. For the first time ever I was able to climb up on the stool without any help or going off balance to reach up high on the tree. And I helped decorate outside, climbing a 22 foot ladder!! I am so proud of myself!

You start to have a little "thing" with your own shadow. Secret glances. Lingering stares. Looking for opportunities to be alone, just the two of you.

Yeah, I've got it bad.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
