The day that I got the sleeve, I decided to document my journey with pictures. I took a selfie each morning so I could see the changes happening in my face. The link to the video below is my progress report. YIKES!

Great pics, glad you posted it.the difference is amazing. I am 45 and I have lost 24kgs (52 pounds). In 9 weeks, not complaining but my triple chin has turned into a crepe jowel, did you use anything to tighten you skin or are you just lucky?

You are an awesome, AWESOME woman! I have taken frequent full body selfies in my underwear....probably wont be posting those :( should have thought that idea through more lol. But I suppose for me & my husband it will be interesting at least.

I loved your lessons learned statements. You speak the truth in them all.

Congrats! All your hard work has paid off!

Thanks! I've lost a total of 97 pounds. I still can't believe that I had that much to lose!

Thanks! I did some research about tightening skin and have listed a few of them that I think have helped me.

1. Hydrate from the inside (drinking lots of water) and the outside (applying lots of lotion).

2. Don't use soap in the shower because it dries out the skin. Use a body wash instead.

3. Dry brush your skin. This one seemed a little weird but you get one of those back washing brushes at Walmart or wherever. Before you get into the shower, brush your skin with the brush. It is supposed to get rid of all of the dead skin cells.

4. coffee scrub. 3/4 cup coffee grounds, 1/4 cup brown sugar, enough olive oil to make it into a paste. Mix together and use as a scrub in the shower.

That's about it! I guess what the above didn't help with, luck filled in the rest. :-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
