I am about 10 weeks post op. Lost about 46 lbs, stalls are a very realistic part of my journey so I've quit weighing myself. I made myself a 'fitness bucket list' which were several exercise related achievements. One of them was to climb this local mountain that I've seen others climb throughout the years but have never physically felt able to.

So yesterday my BFF (who is a personal trainer ) came with me while I climbed to the top. It was so tough but I never stopped till I reached the top. What a great feeling and even better workout!!

Here's a few pics.

What an awesome idea! Good for you...

Congratulations!! You are looking terrific!!!

Way to go Tanya! That is wonderful, and such a great feeling of accomplishment-- not to mention a great view from up there. And you do look fantastic, healthy, and ready for the next mountain. Two am loving hiking since I started losing weight, and it is such a great feeling. Keep it going!

Love it! I have a fitness bucket list too! I'm celebrating by getting charms for my fitness NSV bracelet. It's better than celebrating by eating something and it's a reminder that I can accomplish anything.

So far: Plumeria flower: Maui half marathon, charm: OKC memorial half, Ragnar logo: Ragnar Miami to key west relay, and tiara: Disney Princess half.

Lots of items left on my bucket list but I'm taking a break for plastics.

That's awesome. Love the bracelet idea. Will be making a fitness bucket list for sure.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing. Congrats on your mountain.

Congrtas, great accomplishment. 10 weeks out, how are yo feeling over all. Would yo do it again? Are you able to eat out and eat with others with out feeling self concious for the small portions? Can you eat a sandwich or salad? You can swallow and drink normal now? Has anyone had a cocktail?

Thank you all. It's a hard road.

To answer your question I would recommend the surgery, now. But ask me 6 weeks ago and I would say hell no.

I am able to do everything I did pre-op.

I don't drink so I wouldn't be able to answer that question.
