Oct 3 i had my life changing surgery. I have lost 81 pounds in eight months. I am down to 161 at 5ft 8 in. Just one or 2 pounds from goal. I work out regarly and though I have cellulite, not too much flabby skin. I have lost a lot of hair, so I cut it and try to keep my Protein up. I guess my biggest fear is that the weight will keep falling off. That would upset my hubby since he loved me thick. And my padunkadunk is nothing more than a pud now. I have no recent pics but will try to get some. I am 10 pounds thinner than the last ones I posted.

Everyone looks AMAZING! !! CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm down 80lbs myself. I just had my first work flight and sat super comfortably in the seat on one of those little one seat per row planes. Whoo hoo! Easily buckled mine seatbelt with left over on the one side. I could actually tighten it quite a bit. And I could bring the tray down with extra room to spare and could cross my legs too. Felt like a dream!

This has changed my life.

Have my six month appointment today and don't you know I just got my period :( UGH! My check ups always seem to coincide with my period.

Not to mention I gained two pounds two weeks ago and was on vacation. This past week I lost the two pounds but with my period I am afraid I will be back up again. I am at 201 and just want to get to ONEderland already. It is like I am sabatoging myself or something.

Oh yeah, and I went out for dinner and frozen yogurt with my daughter last night. SIGH......

I am 2 weeks away from my 6 months mark and am down 66 pounds! It feels ridiculously slow but I eat sweets and never exercise. I am finally feeling better and stronger so I actually want to exercise now! Never thought I'd say that! I need to reel on tne diet for some personal events coming up but I know with this tool I can do it!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
