Which bit of your body are you rocking post sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I never imagined I could ever really like my body again. but post sleeve, I have fallen in love with my legs! I have worn a skirt for the first time in 2@+ years, knee boots and skinny jeans - and my legs look fab :-)

Which bit of you do you love now???

I used to HATE my fat arms so much that I would wear a cardi in the heat of summer to cover up my arms at all times. Now its all sleeveless baby!

Oh I hope a bunch of people post here! I'm at the stage where my stomach is deflating slowly but leaving behind unsightly folds and I'm not loving my body right now. Temporary I know, transitional, I get it, but sure would love to read about how it is later on. Your skirt post made me happy and gave me hope!

So feeling this. I am almost halfway to my goal and still am the fat girl in the room. I've been a slow loser and I know I need to be patient and all and remember that 70 lost is actually good but I too am encouraged by the hope that I may actually not hate parts of me anyway one day down this road.

I'm far from goal, but there are huge changes already.

My childhood nickname was Fish, because I loved swimming, and never wanted to get out of the water.........It's been years where I've felt comfortable enough to go swimming....never mind in public.......now I go all the time to the town pool..........I'm still large, the thighs are still a sight to behold LOL But it's all good.....my self esteem has improved so very much.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
