CONGRATS!!! We are planning a possible trip to the Black Hills this summer. Feels so good to fully participate!

Where are the Black Hills?

Yes, I loved that I was able to go the whole way with the family. Looking forward to doing it again today with the addition if my college son who doesn't have classes today.

The Black Hills are in South Dakota where Mount Rushmore is. LOL

I made an appointment with my psychologist who I saw preop because of the issues I am having with compliments, people noticing my loss, even telling me I need a new work picture, etc. I am actually pretty proud I reached out to ask for help. My appointment is in the morning. I'm nervous because I think a lot of these negative thoughts are interwoven with the passing of my mom. I just don't want to screw up and needed a lifeline. ..

I think that is a terrific idea and a very healthy way to deal with a very big psychological blow. Reaching out for help I am sure was out of your comfort zone. A year ago, mine was to reach for a bowl of ice cream. I give you a world of credit for recognizing that you were struggling and finding a healthy way to deal with it. On this journey we are all going to face challenges like loss and injuries. It is how we deal with them that will determine if we achieve long term success or not. You just stacked the deck in favor of long term success. Your Mom would be proud!

You guys are the best!! I just kept thinking with so many changes in my life right now I cannot revert to my old coping mechanism which was food. I lost ny mom, my cat is being put to sleep on friday (he's 20 and kidney failure), I am up for a big job promotion at work and interview on tuesday and have lost over 100 lbs and don't know how to shop or view myself. If a psychologist who is an md can't help me no one can. Lol

Seriously tho realizing all this change is too much and taking the step to ask for help did make me proud. A krispey kreme or chocolate cupcake wont fix it

Good Morning Junies!

Well, I have reached my pre-surgery weight goal! When I began this journey my goal was to reach 150 pounds. My surgeon said that he thought I would 'bottom out' at about 180. This week I have hit 150! I have been increasing my activity and exercise so I have decided to keep going. I am only 5'2", so at 150 by BMI is still in the 'overweight' category. I am going to see if I can get to 130, which will put me at a normal BMI. If I make it, it will also mean that I will have lost 200 pounds.

Here's to new goals!

Yay!!! That is funny because my dr thought I'd bottom out at 180 or 170 due to my metabolism and revision. 146 this morning!!!!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
