I can finally see that I have a wrist bone, an ankle bone and knee caps!

Sitting on hard chairs is uncomfortable with less padding! Had to buy char pads for the kitchen chairs! Knees press uncomfortable together when side sleeping. Seeing ankles, wrist, collar and hip bones is strange but wonderful. Had a really hard time after the winter break from riding my motorcycle last year when I found my center of gravity had shifted. Kept falling over with my bike in parking lots. That part has gotten better tho!

So many pokey bones. I'm not loving that, but I'm dealing with it. One great thing is that I feel really fit and strong since I've been exercising regularly. Love that feeling!

I am one of thoe people who lose from the top down, the feet up, and belly last. With about twenty pounds to go, I feel like a pencil that has a life saver around the middle. Oh well, when I get two my two year surgiversary, my insurance will pay for a panniculectomy.< /p>

When I'm showering I can look down and smile because I can once again see my...

...feet.

:lol:

I am delighted that I sweat MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH less than I used to. The immortal Al Bundy once said, "Do you know what fat does? Fast sweats."

He was right too.

Panniculectomy is a skin surgery that removes the excess belly skin below the belly button. Many insurance companies will cover it if you are having problems like rashes from the excess skin.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
