Who'd have Thought?



Recommended Posts

Things I never thought I'd say...but I did recently:

"No, seriously... I don't want a bite."

"One more size and it's goodbye Lane Bryant!"

"I don't want to watch TV... I want to get on the treadmill."

"Wait, let me look up the nutrition facts on MFP!"

"I don't want a Coke Zero, thanks. Water's fine."

"How much Protein does that have?"

"I want a salad for dinner tonight."

That moment when you realize your WLS must be working:

...when your own mother jokingly tells you you look terrible & you need to get new clothes. ;)

...when you bend over and fall out of your bra.

...when someone you haven't seen in a while asks a mutual friend if you've been sick because you look so different.

...when your old favorite pair of leggings makes you look like D. van Dyke in Mary Poppins during the carousel scene (when he yanked his pants onto his hips to mimic a penguin) because the crotch hangs so low now.

...when you don't hear that "shh, shh, shh" sound when you wear pantyhose under a dress.

...when you see collarbones/neck hollows and hip bones you haven't seen or felt in years.

...when someone's arms reach all the way around you when they hug you. :)

Or when you get on an airplane and low and behold you now have 6 inches of seatbelt left and don't have to ask for an extender.

Or when you sit in a booth at a restaurant and you not only fit but have a lot of extra room.

Or when someone takes a picture of you and your shocked by how thin your face looks! I love being shocked! And taking pictures now.

Or when your husband tells you to slow down you are walking to fast. Or you have to turn around and ask if they are ok because your cruising and they cannot keep up!

Thanks for starting this thread! It reminds folks do all the good things going on in their lives because the made a decision to have weight loss surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
