The Good News & The Bad News



Recommended Posts

The good news: I'm down 2 sizes in my shirts and pants and 1 band size and 1 cup size in my bra and I'm only 5 1/2 weeks postop.

The bad news: all that money I've saved on food, went to clothes today I'll probably wear for a "minute".

Totally, 100% loving my sleeve. It is my favorite body part. :-)

Whoohoo for you! :D For my birthday I received a Dillards gift card...today I looked thru the clothes and decided since I have lost 9 lbs since Monday and am now able to wear a size 16(slightly too big) and a size 14 (definitely to tight) that I would not buy clothes and bought a gorgeous sale price Calvin Klein heels! Now pray my feet don't shrink! lol LOVE the sleeve!!! :wub:

Congratulations on rocking that sleeve the way you have done. I have to admit even the Bad news sounds pretty damn good to me. How can buying smaller clothes ever sound bad.. lol. Keep up all your hard work.

That's awesome! Don't or get to check out your lock consignment stores and Goodwill stores. Ours in this area are nicer ones and have some nice selections. On Saturdays here at our local Goodwill ..you can find shirts for a dollar or two...not to much of a budget buster for clothes you won't wear for long!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
