Milestones???



Recommended Posts

Hey Tens,

I was thinking we need a place to share all of our little milestones. Even though my scale does not want to move I had two moments today. The first was that I could not find anything to wear b/c all my day to day clothes were swallowing me, so i found a pair of pants from my smaller years and THEY FIT!!!!! :whoo: Then when I got to work multiple people began to say WOW you're slimming down.

What are your milestones????

that must have been a wonderful feeling. my first milestone was when a girl at work told me she could tell that i had lost weight and she said i look really good.

no one had said anything before...even when i was begging. my dh said that he thinks i lost all 12.whatever pounds in my face ...lol.

Wow, I have a few milestones. I've had a LOT of people tell me they see the weight loss. My clothes are all hanging on me, I'm ready to buy a few new pairs of pants in a smaller size. My bras are loose (bye bye girls!!!). I had a salad last night for dinner and was not hungry afterwards. The list goes on, but I don't have enough coffee in me yet to remember everything!!

My milestone is not being hungry. Finally I am getting used to it. I really went thru a time of thinking that I regret this surgery, how can I eat such small portions and have quality of life. But now that I am allowed to add normal food to the diet, I realize that I can still taste and enjoy everything, just small amounts chewed well. I am not mourning the lost food anymore. I can still go to a restaurant and enjoy the taste of my meal and then bring most of it home so I can enjoy it again (and again and again ...) Anyway, what freedom!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
