Kissing obesity and my twenties goodbye!



Recommended Posts

I will be 30 tomorrow and I'm so excited to be entering my thirties and not be obese. I started my journey in November 2011 at 260lbs. I had surgery 3/13/2012 at 250lbs and a BMI of 49. Today I'm 175lbs with a BMI of 32 and 30 lbs from my personal goal. I'm excited about where the sleeve has taken me and where it will take me! I can't wait to go to the license bureau tomorrow and get my weight put on my lic :P

Congrats!!!! I know you are very excited!!!

I am excited. I have several birthday dresses to choose from compared to last year where I could only fit on old 2x gown. And now I can wear heels again because my knees don't hurt from carrying so much weight.

Happy Birthday!!!! I'm 30 next year (September), so I hope to look good by my birthday too.

Advice: Put on the cutest pair of heels, a fitted dress and make absolutely sure to cross your legs (since for so many years we couldn't). Have a great time Hun!!!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
