Omg! The Changes Are Really Happening!



Recommended Posts

So even though the scale is going down, my pants are literally falling off me and my ring fits again, I haven't really paid much attention to other changes...I took the first picture when I was a 2 months out from surgery..that is my tummy and about a half an inch of space then the steering wheel...the second one I took on Saturday and it is a bigger space!! Seeing things like this actually proves to me that it is working!!

I'm looking forward to the first thing I notice other than the scale. Being one week out and have lost 19 lbs.

Congratulations! I know exactly how that feels. My belly used to rub the steering wheel, now I am 5" from it. I still have a lot to lose, but those little things in life are just so awesome feeling!

I looked at myself in a full length mirror yesterday for the first time since i can't remember and you know what I have really lost my tummy, my butt, my fat legs, what a change. My husband has really been a great support for me. I have lost 53 lbs and I hope to be at goal by Christmas 50 more to go.

The space is at least twice as big. What a clever way to measure. Awesome!

I sent the first pic to my friend when I took it and was so proud...then I took the one on Saturday but didn't think anything of it til I was looking for an older picture to show my boss. That was when I decided to compare and was SHOCKED at the difference. My tummy was so big it could drive my car...now there is a huge gap! I thought my steering wheel needed to be checked because it was feeling loose...that's when I realized the huge gap. This honestly has to be the best nsv for me so far. I can't wait to see what happens in the next three months. I really want to be 100 lbs down by September! Maybe I will have to adjust my seat!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
