I'm on the 25th too! I was crying last night thinking about some of the skin pictures I have seen.

You look great woman! What was your start weight?

My starting weight the day I started my 2 week pre-op liquid diet was 278.4.

any recommendations on how to be as successful as you?

Sorry it took me so long to reply! I would say the key for me has been sticking to the "basics".... I do no more than 30-40g of carbs per day, at least 60g of Protein, and 80-100 oz of Water. That keeps me feeling full and satisfied for the most part. I also started running and I really enjoy that. :-) Good luck!

  • Inspirational...seriously. I'm about 6 mos and just crossed the 70 lb mark. I don't think I have any conscious memory of being 24 pounds from a weight goal in my entire adult life. It really is quite surreal for me. I am challenged by exercise, I have always loved it, but I have other priorities now, like my babies (2 y/o and 1 y/o). I am relatively active and I did complete a 5 k almost jogging the entire thing in March 2014. But your pics really are an eye opener, I wanted to congratulate you on such a profound transformation, you must feel amazing. I'm gonna keep working on the exercise, I want to be a good example for my babies too. Another 5 K is coming up in May...maybe I will be able to run the whole thing this time. Thanks for your info and the sharing of what you do. :)

You are so close to your goal! You are doing amazingly as well!! Thank you on your kind words! I hope to be able to run my whole 5K too... The training is hard, but every time I complete a run I feel amazing. :-)

@livvsmum what has been your diet post op.... once you could have regular food. I'm just curious and ask this to the ones that have lost a lot of weight so fast like you. It seems the general consensus has been to stick to Protein and veggies and limit carbs...... I pretty much try to do the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
