Oh yes I have lots of questions. I'm due for surgery in July. I'm 5ft4 and 211lbs. I would like to be at 125. I want to be successful. I'm having my gallbladder out on Friday and that's supposed to help once I have my sleeve. I have gallstones and gallbladder disease. I really want to be a success at this like you! Any advice would be great. What did you start out at? How tall are you? What bmi were you in the beginning? What was your regimen in the beginning? Everyone's is so different.

Awesome job!! Great pics!! Can any of you tell me if your breath changed after surgery? I'm a month out and my dental is all up to date so not that, but is it like that "ketosis"....which can affect your breath when on a Protein diet.

I didnt do much exercise in the first 6 months. Mostly just walking. I then started toning so i would do some weight training about 3 times a week. I also do spinning i enjoy it a lot! And sit ups every night before bed!

Hey! So im also 5ft4. I started out at 240. I had a bmi of about 40, maybe a bit higher. The surgery itself went very well. I had no pain at all (no meds). Just some neausea the first 2 days. The best advice is to walk a lot! Follow exactly what the doctor tells u to eat. I had zero appetite for a good 3 weeks post surgery. I was only on liquids. I didnt cheat at all but I also had no cravings whatsoever. Dont eat anything ur not suppose to because that will just stretch ur sleeve and ull regret later on! My sleeve has not stretched at all so i still eat very little, but i eat many times a day. Every 2-3 hours. I get cravings now for some stuff but a few bites will be enough! I couldnt eat refined sugars the first year i would get horrible cramps! But that seeems to have gone away.

Your surgery will go great! Just make sure to strictly follow your pre and post op diets!

If this is too personal please feel free not to answer, but you don't look like you have any excess skin...how's that possible? Did you do anything to help that?

You look phenomenal. It's inspiring!

I have a little on my stomach and legs but not much. I have pretty thick skin so that helped but doing sit ups every night definitely helps!

      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.
