I am so excited. My BMI is low enough that I am no longer morbidly obese, I am just obese. Can't wait to be in overweight category.

WAY TO GO!!! I remember when I hit that mark - GREAT DAY!! Do something special for yourself - get a massage or have your nails done, get a pedi. Mark this day, you have worked hard to get here.

Keep it going - I am at a normal BMI for the first time in my life (I was overweight at 6 months, taken off formula and put on skim milk!). I can't tell you what a foreign feeling it is to wake up and not think about losing weight - you can get there too!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Carol

You are doing really well!! I actually stalled as soon as I started soft food, then I gained 8 pounds. My stall finally broke and I have lost 10 pounds just this week. I got really depressed about the stall, but I knew it would happen. I didn't think it would happen this soon. Glad it's over.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
