I don't mind being #2. :-P

Surgery 12/27/2012

Down 95lbs (+ or - a pound depending on the day)

30 more lbs to go to goal. My energy is finally ramping up. The closer I get to goal, the more I want to exercise and eat right.

Current weight/size: 151/ size 8 pants/size 10 top

Starting weight/size: 308/size 26W-28W/3x range

Highest lifetime weight size: 332 32W pants

Total lost from highest weight: 181 - size of a good sized man...OMG

Victory i claim from sleeving: 157 - size of a slightly smaller man... OMG

No wonder I have skin for two people... off to plastics in a week to get that body work done.

But, the biggest victory of all is that my life is evolving and changing in ways i never imagined. I have more friends, i am changing inside in alot of ways. I am healthy, I feel attractive and vibrant. I have become a very confident horseback rider since I am so much stronger. I can hike up mountains - I am so much fitter. And, I seem to be able to maintain, so far so good anyway!!!

I started my journey at 279 lbs. on 12/05/2012, I am 5'6 3/4" tall, I was a size 22/24 depending on the clothes, I wore a 3XL shirt and sometimes they were to small. I am currently 173 in a size 11/12 pants and a med to lg blouse. I still have about 20 lbs to goal weight, but I do believe that this is mostly excess skin. Looking to have TT and breast lift soon. I need a full body lift but can't afford to do it all at once.

I heard many stories of inexpensive surgeries abroad, I am currently looking into all of them. I had my sleeve in Tijuana with Dr.Almanza and I was pleased with his work. I wouldn't change a thing except doing it sooner!

      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.
