I was nervous about summer coming! But.....



Recommended Posts

With the amount of weight I have lost I do have some lose skin. But it is really only in my arms, my stomach does not look bad. At first I nervous about summer and going to the beach and then I started to think about it. I have lost 174lbs who cares if my skin is hanging! It shows that I worked my butt off to get where I am at! If someone doesnt like my arms they dont have to look and if they are looking I am just going to tell them...thats what it looks like to lose a whole person!!!

I am so happy with where I am at right now and I am glad I sat back and thought about it! I hope everyone else has the same way of thinking, we have came a long way and who cares if you have some sagging skin it just shows the dedication we have to get where we are at=)

Like I told my best friend.. I have lose skin and a small apron but I am not planning to be a swimsuit model anytime soon. I am healthier and happier than I have been for 20 years or more. I will be able to wear shorts and cute shirts and yes even a bathing suit but better yet I will be able to swim with my granddaughters and play games with them in the pool without running out of breath or energy. Have a great Summer everyone. ONward and Upward.

      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.
