Thank you everyone! I can't believe it's me on the right. I also can't believe I was ever that person on the left. Out of curiosity, does anyone post op 8months+ see themselves as the before person still?

I'm 11 mons post op yesterday. It took me a while, but now all I see & really love is the new me. Someone told me yesterday that they didn't remember be being overweight. I showed them a before picture, I think I was more shocked then they were when I saw my picture. I totally don't see the old me.

I'm 7 months out. I traveled home this past weekend to visit my parents. My mom and I were in her room and she had a pic of me on her dresser from a vacation years ago. I looked at it and said... omg I was so fat! It's hard to imagine being that big now...only 7 months later :)

For me I see myself getting smaller and I don't picture myself as still heavy. My hw was 232. I am now 155 at 6 months post op. What I have a hard time understanding is how I carried around and extra 77 pounds.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
