I wasn't sure whether or not to post this as a success story, but here's a (cropped, bad) photo of me as of today. You can see that I'm definitely bulking up, but you can also see where I still have a LONG way to go fat-wise, and a lot of loose skin...

Sorry for the bad image quality, but it's off the cuff, and I really didn't want to get into the horrorshow that is my tummy right now -- just a horrible mess of loose skin!

Thanks for the replies :) I'm going to Hawaii in a few months, and I'm glad I don't have to feel TOO ashamed to go snorkeling without a shirt (aside from the pale Caucasian skin glare factor! I *do* live in Seattle, after all...)

You look hot! Obviously working out. Doesn't look like loose skin to me. Have fun in Hawaii!

Hey ouroborous,

Of course you have put this thread in the right place... you defo are a success story!! I agree with the other, you look great and I can't see any loose skin! We certainly are our own worse critics!

Howdy, fellow rain city sleever!

At least during the long, gray rainy winters up here, going to the gym gives us something to do when it's gloomy outside, right? And then during Seattle's epic "six weeks of summer" we get to go outside and show it off!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
