I can finally fit into a size 18 jeans, and real jeans, not the stretchy ones!!!! I got to pull out a pair of designer ones i had been saving forever. And I'm wearing them right now! I'm so excited. It makes me want to go shopping!! Yay.

I think the warning points are only visible to you. You see yours and no one else's. :)

random thought #1:

I'm kinda tired of people noticing my weight loss this week. I'm just ready to be a goal and have that be who I am, and not need to be congratulated so often on "lookin goooood". ....but maybe I'm being an ungrateful grouch?

random thought #2:

At high weight, I had a closet full of clothes from 24 to 14. I'm slowly getting rid of the bigger sizes as I work my way down. Was happy this morning that I was able to put my 18 jeans in the "donate" bag and slip on some 16's. Then I came to work, and one of my friends told me my jeans are too big.....smh

random thought #3:

I guess pretty soon I'm going to have to do real shopping and not just closet shopping. Actually not sure how I feel about that...excited AND scared!

Random thoughts as surgery gets closer:

What happens if this doesn't work??

Oh my god, I can't eat that for awhile can I...should I do this (usually I answer this one right away, YES)

I would love to wear a normal size pair of boots and a cute pair of jeans. Can't wait to shop at normal stores.

Also...I keep thinking about talking to my mom about post op plans. So she asks me about surgery...so this is a pretty easy one...they just put like a sleeve over your stomach...like a shirt? WHAT?! I stared at her for a full five minutes, then laughed for another full 5...then explained it to her. "Oh so that's why you need a week of. I was going to say, aren't you being a bit dramatic for them just hooking a garment over your stomach?" If we didn't laugh, we would cry right?

Random thought: I want to be able to bend over without holding my breath and/or grunting. I want to be able to squat down and not need to hold on to something to get back up.

My random thought of the day: As I was walking past Victoria's Secret at the mall the other day: One day soon I will be able to fit into something there other than their perfume!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
