@Kissifur -- one of my goals is to be able to grab some of those expensive name-brand hoodies I buy my sons and throw them on to walk the dog, etc... I can look like a cool mom in Abercrombie and Hollister and all those places... :) Actually I can probably fit into my 15 yo's now... I'll have to go home and try some on!

You suck in your gut while walking because it feels leaner --- and because you can!

Your every waking thought is NOT about food for a change.

You always know where the tape measure is, since you check measurements every month--and like doing it!

You choose clothes you like instead of buying based on what covers you and is inoffensive.

Your old cheat foods begin to lose their flavor, appeal, and their power!

So why aren't you SMILING??

You can smile in pictures! I used to not smile because I thought it made my cheeks look chubbier.

You had to buy a ring snuggie for your wedding band/engagement ring because they fall off your finger. I will get them resized once I am done losing weight!

Where can you buy this?

Where can you buy this?

I get mine at Charming Charlies and you can probably find them at Claires or maybe even Wal Mart. I also saw them on Amazon.com. I have to use them but they come off so easily,

Love these! So I'll go again....got my sassy short haircut, yippee! And now, you know you've had WLS when you take those teeny tiny jars of preserves from hotel breakfasts so you can fill them with chopped almonds and walnuts to keep in your purse. You're obsessed with Protein. You're happy with yourself. Oh, this is from today.......you wake up at 2am and just get up to get work done (freelancer) and you work 16 hours to get totally, incredibly on top of everything. Like month of. September is set and we are not even ther yet! Where is this energy coming from? It is incredible! I don't have to work the rest of the week! Guess I'll exercise. You know you've had WLS when your found time is about moving your body........

When you go into a store try on a shirt and the store associate starts throwing jeans over the door because she thinks they will look cute with the shirt you picked out and looks to be my style she says. I look at the size and said wow, how did you know what size I needed and she says oh well that's what size I am and you look to be the same. You walk out and see she's a tiny little thing..... SMILES for MILES!!!

You realize the food industry is masterful at selling. As is the diet business. You can just ignore i all of it easily

You're happy to see pictures of yourself instead of hiding From the camera for years

      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? 🤷‍♀️
