Just curious if you ever use a cane to help you out? Might make this transition a bit easier on you. I hike alot and I love using my hiking poles. You could get one of those and you would look sporty.

My husband took me shopping today at Goodwill....

Before surgery i was wearing:

pants (all elastic waistband) - 26/28 - 3x

tops (all knit) - 30/32 - 4x

shoes (black only) 9 - 9.5

Today:

jeans (with zipper & button) 20

tops (knit AND some cotton ones) 2x

shoes (colorful) 8

For the first time (in i don't know how many years) i had fun (yes, fun) trying on clothes.... played "dress up" again when we got home.!!! it will continue to get better and better each month.... I LOVE MY SLEEVE!

I'm so happy for you on the size changes!! I think you need to post a new face pic for your profile, too! That's where I first noticed my weight loss and I'm betting your face has slimmed down a lot. :)

YOU are amazing! You go girl!!! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
