You look beautiful, and I agree with the much younger comments, too. You & I are almost identical in our pace...my surgery was on June 19, I'm down 34 lbs since surgery, 53 lbs from highest weight just before preop diet. I can't always see the difference in the mirror, but photos definitely help. Congrats to you on great progress!

Wow! We really are right on the money with our progress. I hadn't realized how much weight it was until I found that picture that somehow did not end up deleted. I always deleted the unflattering pictures, which was most of the time. I didn't realize I was that big. I never felt that big. In the mirror I saw something else and refused to face reality. I always felt confident and walked with pride. I still feel confident and walk with pride, but through a healthier and happier me!

Congrats in your weight loss and progress! I wish you the best my fellow June sleeve sister!!!

I am definitely a "slow" loser' date=' but I am VERY HAPPY with my weight loss! 33 pounds down since June 18th, and about 52 pounds from highest weight. I eat clean, healthy food 95% of the time (cheat day is on Sunday); one hour of cardio 5-6 days a week; weight lift 2 days a week (I want to do more, but difficult with schedule), divided by upper body and lower body, heavy weight/low reps, both isolation and compound lifts.

I LOVE my sleeve, LOVE the restrictions, and I especially LOVE that when I do occasionally slip the bad stuff, I'm full after 3-4 bites!

(Picture is of my highest weight and of me today, 8 weeks 5 days post-op)[/quote']

Wait, did you find the fountain of youth as well. You look amazing!

Curious how you are doing? I remember being impressed by your weight loss and pics when I first signed on here. You said you were a slow loser but 30 something lbs in 2 months is awesome. Where are you at now; if you don't mind my asking? I am finally scheduled for jan 27 and very curious about people's experiences.

:)

I'm doing very well, thank you! I am 6 1/2 months out, weighing in at 165 pounds. That's 82 pounds down from my highest weight, and about 65 pounds from surgery weight. Actually I went shopping today (or yesterday since it's 3 AM, lol!) and I bought a size 8 dress!!! So, I think I'm doing fabulous!

I'm excited for you! Good luck with your upcoming surgery. Follow your surgeons instructions as best as you can post op. Remember that your tummy will be swollen and healing, but any hardship you endure post-op quickly passes! It'll be over before you know it and you'll be a thinner, healthier you in no time! The hardest part for me was getting the fluids down, but those sf Popsicles saved my life! Again, good luck!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
