posting pics for 1st time - 8 lbs from goal



Recommended Posts

Ok, let's hope this ole gal (me! turning 60 in 2 months) can get these pics attached.

The one in the black top is me at my highest weight 225lbs, and the one in the Red Sox shirt is today - only 8 lbs from goal.

Weight coming off very s l o w l y now, but no worries, I'm just following the plan (high Protein, low carbs, lots & lots of Water and exercise) and it will come off when it comes off.

You are doing very well. I had surgery around the same time as you and things are at a snails pace for me. I still have 20 some lbs to lose and don't know if I will make it. Getting very discouraged. But I am very happy with what I have lost.

great success

66 lbs gone

those last 8 lbs can be stubborn, but yes, they will come and go before you know it :)

you look great in both pics - but the red sox one is terrific

sorry you "lost your head" :(;)

(i have heard this can be one of the more serious side effects from the sleeve :angry: :lol:)

keep up the good job :)

Thanks everyone! The best part is that I am off all of my diabetes meds, my HBP meds and my cholesterol meds!! Hahahha Kathy - I'm not good at taking 'selfies' I guess.

Having the sleeve was the best decision I've ever made. No regrets at all.

thanks again

      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? 🤷‍♀️
