Boy am I glad I stopped by today. I had problems with my band and it was removed after 7 months. That was 3 months ago. These photos sure steer me toward getting the band back if the Doctor feels it is feasible. Thanks for the inspiration.

Okay -- not sure how this will turn out. I'm more intimidated by trying to upload pictures than I was climbing up on the operating table! :wink2: These shots with my GrandDoll, Sloane, show a change.

Anyhow, the one in pink is on my birthday a month before surgery. The other was in May of this year with like 80 lbs gone.

Okay, 2 things:

-- No, I'm not bald, I just have a FIVE-head instead of a forehead. (That's it, I'm abandoning the slicked-back chignon!!!)

And

-- is it just me or was that 90 lbs all on my BACK??

Nana, are you kidding me? The difference is awesome! You look great and so much younger. Sloane is a cutie pie too. Keep up the good work.

Why thank you, you're so sweet!

This morning my husband and I stopped into Whataburger for our Saturday morning Breakfast -- I eat two bites of the egg out of a taquito and I'm good until lunch. :smile:

Anyhow, he got up to refill his iced tea and when he was walking back to the table he got this really big, goofy grin on his face. I said, "what?" He said, "Just looking at you sometimes I'm blown away by how different you look."

It was a relief, cause lots of times he says, "I can't believe how much you look like your mother!"

And that's when the fight starts....:biggrin:

Not really -- just kidding! I do look like her and I fought it hard for years, but I've surrendered! LOL

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
