I am 8 months post op and 19 pounds away from goal and a "normal" BMI.

I've been very excited lately with my changes and have been coming out socially more then ever. My life since the sleeve has been work, gym, walk and home. I would host dinner parties occasionally but only for close family and friends. I have recently been accepting invites to parties and outings because the shame is gone. I now can hold my head up and feel comfortable where ever I go. It really feels good to feel normal

I'm so happy for you! I realized that the more weight I gained, the more friends/hobbies I lost. It wasn't their fault... it was mine. I just crawled into myself because of my insecurities. I'm sad about the years I've wasted, but 1 week in, I'm so glad I didn't waste the rest of my life.

Enjoy!!!!!

I look back now and could kick myself in the butt for not doing it sooner in life and/or not sticking to a diet. I'm 52 years old and I'm the healthiest I've been in over 30 years.. Crazy when you think of it. You had your surgery a week ago? First couple of weeks are rough but you need to heal, after you are on solid foods it's smooth sailing. Good luck to you! Keep me posted

For the past month I've been joining the different classes my gym offers. Twice a week I do power classes which is strength training with the use of weights and barbell. Once a week I take an active class which is cardio and strength combined. Two to three times a week is Zumba or grove both dance cardio and once to twice a week a centergy which is yoga, strength, core and balance. All awesome classes. I also hike, swim, walk, and elliptical when I'm not at classes. I would have never done or could do this a year ago. This journey is just amazing to me. I still look in the mirror and think "who are you" then say to myself , wow you are one hot grandma ! Lol
