1 year

1 month

10 days

And I hit my goal!

Sept 21/15 - Oct 31/16

Lots of hard work.

Many sacrifices.

Lots of self talk.

Much dedication and self motivation.

But it was all worth it!

The time flew by and I can't believe I am where I am just 13 short months after my Gastric Bypass surgery.

I saved my own life and will thank myself everyday.

I wasted too much of my precious life and now I'm gonna make up for it!

Turning 41 in a couple days and I've never felt better, happier, healthier and of course lighter!!!

Thanks for all that have traveled along this journey with me!

I have been lately, yeah. I was really worried that I'd have loose skin (aka bat wings) so I've been concentrating on upper body lifting and I'm quite pleased with the results. I do have some damage, don't get me wrong, (especially when I bend over, you can see the loose wrinkly skin a bit) but overall I'm happy and proud of what I've accomplished :)

Thank you for the nice compliment!

I am going to continue on working on toning up more and maybe even lose a few more pounds :)

I think the hard part now is maintaining! Eeekkkk! LOL

Thank you!

Nope.

Well... not yet. It's on my mind but I'm going to try to work at least trying to tighten it up a little more and go from there.

I have abs!

Who knew!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
