When I weighed today I was 164 pounds! I weighed 220 pounds starting out and I am 5'2", and so my BMI was 40.23. I was in the "morbidly obese" category. I am so happy to say that my BMI is now 29.99! I am still overweight, but no longer obese. Was anyone else this happy to be overweight??? LOL! I feel kind of crazy being this happy, but I am down to a number that I haven't seen since I was 16 or 17 years old! Can't wait to be in the "normal" range! I am only 14 pounds til my first weight loss goal of 150. It is so weird being where I am, though. I never could see myself losing the weight before surgery. I just didn't feel like it was possible and I thought I would be big forever. Even after surgery I felt like I may lose a little weight, but it was so hard to believe that something like this would happen to me! I am more than happy with my surgery! Best thing I ever did for myself hands down! :P I carry most of my weight in my belly and back...I started losing the weight in my legs and stuff first...can't wait to get rid of my belly so that I can shop at Papayas and just fit into smaller shirts! I started my measurements four days post op. I wish I would have thought about measuring the day before, but unfortunately I missed that opportunity. Here are my measurements before and today:

November 24th, 2013: January 24th, 2014:

Arms: Left - 15 inches Right - 14.5 inches Arms: Left - 14 inches Right - 14 inches

      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? 🤷‍♀️
