Thank You Liz for your positive comments and helpful advice.. So happy for you. Today is my 2 year bandiversary I am so happy that I decided to take control of my weight and health when I did. I went to my primary doctor yesterday and got a glowing report. My only issue now is my flappy apron.. I have documented the rashes and hip pain. Hope I am able to have skin surgery in the future. I would still like to lose another 10 lbs or so but I am doing okay. Did not gain over the holidays and I can wear skinny jeans and boots..omg who woulda thunk.

Look at that! We're band twins. Congrats as well on your success. I do hope you can get that excess skin off but in the meantime, keep rocking those skinny jeans and boots. Woo Hoo!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
