Hello all. Thought I would check in since tomorrow is my 6 month surgeiverary. I am down 91 pounds since surgery, 165 from my all time high. As you can see loose skin abounds. I am not at peace with any of my body changes yet, but I am at least happy to report that my GERD is getting less severe, even if it is just a minor improvement, it is still welcomed. I am a size 12 up top for most things, size 14 or 16 on bottom depending on the cut. Boobs 40H-->36G. Still have 37 pounds to go but feeling like I might actually make it.

My before picture is actually a few days after surgery. My three year old swiped my phone and I found this pic later. It is my only real before surgery picture so I kept the awful thing. Thighs still spread the same but whatcha gonna do? 😎

Congrats! You look, and I'm sure feel, fantastic! I already have some loose skin, and I'm no where near my goal, so I know there is more to come. I would rather have the loose skin than it be full of fat though! Congrats, again!

      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.
