Recommended Posts

Feeling fantastic!!! Just found this pic from last summer when I was 204lbs. This makes me realize how far I have come. My surgery was 10/1/2014. I am so close to goal it's an amazing feeling not to worry about what I am eating or what I am going to wear. I am no longer embarrassed to go out in public. I am enjoying life and feeling good...

I am trying to decide if I need to keep losing or if it time to go into maintenance. I need advice so I am including a before and after undie pic also. Be kind!!! I am at 138. My doc originally set a goal of 130-140. I had planned 120-130. But I am thinking maybe I don't need to go any father. Jut looking for some friendly support and advice. Thanks in advance.

Is your surgery date correct? I think you look good and should stay where you are but how do you feel about yourself?

I feel good where I am but I have never had the appropriate self body image. I ne'er see what is truly in the mirror. Which sounds crazy I know. Lol. I feel so much better and I know I wear a smaller size but I still have a hard time truly seeing me.

First off, congrats on your success. You look great. I also agree with others...it's what you think that matters....

But you asked so......

Ok.....I'll try to answer this delicately and respectfully from a guy's view:)

I think you are very balanced and natural looking at your current weight. Perfect!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
