Some things I'm looking foward to......



Recommended Posts

Surgery is August 8th for me! Some NSV I'm looking forward to in the future.....

Being able to cross my legs again, and sit like a lady!!

Have my husband put his arms around me and not feel awful about him feeling all my fat rolls!

Going to my daughters practices and not being the largest person there!!

Having my daughters hug me and being able to for their arms around mommy!

Being able to buy clothes in the regular size dept! (I love Targets cute clothes, and I look forward to the day I don't have to shop in their 4'x4' plus size section)

I could go on and on........

Have a wonderful day!

Kim

my surgery is in 7 days, but i am looking at my list of goals to help me stay focused on this liquid diet. I am starting now and actually I dont really know how bad it will be. I just anticipate it being horrible.

I was so excited about not shopping in the plus section, only to find out I don't know how to buy clothes that aren't plus size, I keep ending up back in the plus sizes knowing I can fit them...

Non scale Victory. any great thing that happens because of weight loss not related to a scale number.

I had very similar goals in mind when I had my surgery and I will tell you that as I have met most of them already, it is such a wonderful high feeling when these things happen. Now I find myself staring at my fingers, ankles, or wrists and thinking wow I have normal body parts for the first time in as long as I can remember.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
