my biggest change is that i play with my kids more now. i can get on the floor and roll around with them and i can go outside and draw with chalk with my 4 year old. i actually enjoy my time with them instead of just wanting to go back inside and eat some chips and candy.< /p>

To love myself more!! Once I started gaining weight I could care less about myself. I treated my body horribly. Newly sleeved 2/29 I'm taking this as a new chance to love me and treat my body as so.

Not perfect but my attitude has changed a great deal. I'm more positive and happy.

I would say that since being sleeved I am overall just more happy. My life isn't that great right now. My fiance and I have a lot of financial problems as well as family issues and numerous other things. I find that with me shedding my extra weight I am able to be more positive about things even when the outlook may look grim.

I will be sleeved on March 23rd. There are so many things! I will be a great-grandma any day now, and I have 5 grandchildren, ages 3, 14, 17, 20, and 22. One of my personal goals is to be able to go to Disneyland and not have to sit own every hour, to be able to keep up with my family.

I am hoping to have more energy and no excuses as to why I can't do something.

Like amberj my family is my life. Playing with my kids without becoming exhausted and/or experiencing back pain is a blessing.

I like how I've changed making the family meals. I don't want my kids having the same weight problems I had. They now have less starches and more Protein. I don't keep chips or soda in the house and I swapped out fruit and veggie trays for Snacks. Even the Cereal I pick are grain, heart healthy ones. I'm hoping to end the fat cycle with me. Best wishes

My biggest change in myself is my true inner self is being revealed each day!!! I've always been a bubbly, positive person... but it was a little forced.. NOW, I'm just ME!!! One of my friends put this way last night... "You walk into a room and command it... You just are... And people respond!"...

Most of this has to do w/ just the process of choosing to have surgery and realization that I deserve to live my BEST life now... and i must take steps to preserve my life as an act of gratitude.... I'm enjoying my life, now I'm trying to find a balance between my career (that causes me major frustration, but I need the money) and my passion (music and art)...

Omg where do I start lol.. Im 2 weeks out so my journey is just beginning.. I'm looking forewarn to:

No more knee pain

A lot less or no back pain

Much more energy to play with my kids

Energy to do outdoor activities with my hubby

Being able to shop at ANY clothing store

The sense of accomplishment

So so many more but I'll try to keep it short..

I am most excited to be a good role model for my kids!! I want them to learn to make good choices so they don't have weight problems like me!

Getting good news from my doctor, instead of more bad news and another medication. Being able to accept a compliment (like "you have pretty eyes") from someone without thinking that it's the only nice thing they could say because I've gotten so fat. Feeling comfortable in my own skin rather than feeling like I'm trapped in a stranger's body. Not being ashamed to have my photo taken. Oh, the list could go on and on.

I've been remodeling a house I bought and I've been up and down a ladder painting, bending to clean and repair things, pulling staples out of the floor and on and on. I would have been so miserable doing that 60 pounds ago. I look forward to Disney World with my daughter this summer as well as the rollar coaster and Water parks here locally. My 11 year old will enjoy me alot more this summer.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
