Recommended Posts

I would love your opinion and I know you have them!!! you will not hurt my feelings!

My husband wanted to take a quick photo of me before I left for work this morning and they are not staged cause I had no idea what he wanted, they are god awful, but this is what I looked like leaving for the office today. Husband says I look great, sexy blah blah blah, he has to right?

In your honest opinion do I look thin? This is my ultimate goal.

While I personally wouldn't categorize you as "thin" I do think you look "right". Your weight looks appropriate for your body and you look healthy and great. You do not look overweight. That is my honest opinion. Congratulations, you look beautiful

Exactlyas Seela stated... Plus it is all subjective. I sort of feel negatively about the word thin as I do the word fat.. They are both extremes.. I think you look great and healthy and I am sure you probably feel 100 times better. From your stats you are still about 40lbs from goal.. I can see you probably getting VERY happy with about another 20.. I know why you are asking though.. I get confused when I look at myself too and I dont trust the people around me to be honest.. They love me so they are more worried about my feelings than anything :)

Thank you!

I appreciate your honest comments! Made me feel so much better about where I am at. I have this perviable muffin top that will never go away until I have plastics and its confuses my vision of me,

I would say yes your “normal” now you didn’t make it easy as you’re in jeans and a jumper lol
But yeah you are!
I think we have the same belly lol
like oh I can wear 1 size down but when I do a bunch of saggy skin gives me a impressive muffin top I can’t jam under my waistband so I go a size up, where you know the butt and legs are a little looser but way less saggy skin muffin top lol
I think you look great!

Btw in the picture album right click the pic and either rotate clockwise or anti clockwise click to open it and it should show you the actual way it was taken and now turned.
I assume that pic was taken on a phone? Always have to turn them once loaded to a puter lol

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
