5 Months Progress Pics

I thought I would share my progress pics at the 5-month post op mark. I'm so completely happy with my decision to have the sleeve, and - while it was the hardest thing I've ever done - I would do it 50 times over again. So, my stats are that at 5 months post op, I'm down 90.6 pounds and my BMI went from 43.6 down to 29.4. The best thing so far for me has been discovering that I had a runner hidden inside of me. I've found that I really love it, I feel so much more stress-free, and I'm a happier mommy when I get to run.

Anyway, I thought I would share, not to brag, but to encourage anyone who just recently had the surgery and is going through that really difficult first couple of weeks, or also anyone who is considering the surgery.

Sorry in advance for the not so great pic quality. :-)

That's why I love this site....because its a constant reminder of WHY????......

I have always envied runners... lol and been in awe of their stamina. That is something that I most definitely want to start doing once I am cleared to "really" exert myself. You look great... keep up the good work. Total inspiration :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
