When I started my little journey back in March I weighed 479 pounds. I had to do 6 months of nutritional therapy before the surgery and I am now 1 week out from surgery. In that time I have lost a total of 91 pounds, 21 since my surgery 9/26. I did a little before and after comparison you can see below.

It's the little things that have kept me going. Like my wedding band that now spins around my finger instead of digging in, being able to get dressed without sounding like I just ran a mile and my husband being able to put his arms completely around me for the first time.

It wasn't easy, I spent A LOT of time hungry and craving. Especially during the 2 weeks before surgery on that awful diet, but I am already feeling better and it was sooooo worth it!

Fantastic! What a great accomplishment is such a short time! And so much of it was without the help of your new "tool"! Just think what you'll be able to accomplish in the next 12 months!

I can't wait to see your next set of pictures...........you'll be a "shadow" of your former self, with a smile so wide it will jump right off the page!

Keep up the great work, and great attitude. It only gets better from here......

Hubby puts his arms around me and just squeezes - and my wedding band is now on a chain he gifted me "made of finest silver from Spain" so I would no lose it. (my fav song is "Brandy" by Looking Glass)...

It is hard. It is awesome. I would do it again.

In the end, I did not survive, I thrived. You seem poised and accomplised and doing it too! Keep up the great work!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
