since surgery I haven't bought any new clothes I was wearing a size 26 jeans and 3x shirt my sister has been giving me some of her old clothes size 22 pants and 2x shirts but today my sister and I went to the mall which we've done a couple times since my surgery in March I would always refuse to try clothes on mostly due to I hate clothes shopping and I don't feel feminine wearing dresses or skirts I'm mostly jeans and t-shirt kinda woman but today since I'm now hundred and seventy seven pounds and I feel kinda good about myself I tried on some jeggings and a nice shirt I'm proud to say that I can fit a size 14 in jeggings and a tight large shirt I'm so excited I don't ever remember being the small and that's saying a lot considering I have about 25 pounds of fat around my stomach being apple shape is a b****. I'm going to stop at 140 or 145 and stay that way until next year where I can have my plastic surgery. My sister is about 11 pounds heavier than me and she wears it well we're I look like I weigh a lot more than her about 30 pounds more than her since I have this big stomach until I have the surgery I don't think I'm ever going to feel skinny.

      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.
