Thank again everyone for your kind words, you know how to make a girl feel good about herself.

As far as my stats, they are on my profile so please check there and on my signature :)

hair loss, I had it mostly within the first 6 months. I had thicker hair to begin with and there were times it was coming out in handfuls when I would wash it. It never got to a point where others noticed, other than my hair dresser. I did everything, Vitamins, Biotin, but Biotin only helps with regrowth not the prevention of falling out. Now my hair is growing back, This is awful! Not that is coming back but the fact I have a head full of new baby hair that is untamable! LOL. I can't wear my hair back otherwise I look like I got electrocuted, I have fly aways and I don't want to put gel or anything in it because it makes my ears stick out hahaha.

My skin I haven't had any skin issues, yes i have a lot of excess skin, but I knew that was going to happen with how much I have to lose. But I would rather have excess skin that can be hidden with body smoothers then be where I was anyday!

I can't believe it's already a year since my surgery. I love my results thus far' date=' I still want to lose and it has gotten a lot tougher now that I am past the year mark. 144 pounds down so far and don't regret a single moment of this journey :) First pic day of surgery, 2nd pic was taken Sunday :)[/quote']

Wow! You look amazing!

You look sweet, girlfriend! Congrats. You are an inspiration to me as a 2 month post surgery gal who is struggling with slow weight loss.

Can you say more about it being harder to lose now that you are a year out. Do you mean that the weight no longer comes off even when you eat like you did while it peeled off of you or that your appetite is harder to manage or is it something else. Inquiring minds want to know!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
