Yes! My bracelets and watch are all too big. And my elbows hurt when I lean on chair armrests or tables.

My 57 yr old male neighbor called and told me that I looked like I had lost a lot of weight (among other things). He only saw me down the driveway, INSIDE MY CAR!!! And he didn't know about the surg! :D It was the first time somebody commented, that didn't know. Yay!!! FINALLY!

I thought I was crazy for always putting my fingers around the opposite wrist. Its weird and exciting to notice the skinny girl beginning to emerge.

Preop weight 389 current weight 314...that's 75 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

Yes I have noticed this! I bought this leather coach Bracelet about a year ago that never fit and yesterday it did:) I wore heels that use to be so tight tonight. Not only were they loose but walking on four inch heels is soooo much easier minus 80 or so pounds!

I love this. I bought this killer pair of heels a few years back, and they've been collecting dust in my closet ever since. I can't wait until I don't feel like I'm going to break my ankle wearing them!

Today is one month from my surgery date and I'm considering this to be my first nsv and that is I actually weight the same as what is says on my drivers license. May sound silly but I haven't been this weight in years!

I celebrated that accomplishment too! It reads 175 but weighed 200 and now I weigh 135. Haven't changed my license yet.

I just renewed my license last month. Since I was 100 lbs down I actually was proud to put my real weight down. The first time EVER!

      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.
