Taken in November...about 20 pounds ago. Sorry I'm not smiling. I was feeling very chipper but I take such atrocious smile pictures when staged I wound up frowning.....

The before is from my last vacation before getting banded. The other is from this past Saturday night.

I've continued to avoid having my picture taken, but when I was sent this image I finally saw some of the changes my friends and family have been talking about.

Banded May 10th by Dr. Lau @ TLBC

Here is another month down and another 10 pounds gone forever. First is before surgery, next is oct 19th and 3rd is from today. Presurgery closeup is almost too embarrasing to post, but shows so much success and gives me motivation to keep going. Everyone is doing such a fabulous job. Keep up the awesome work!!!

I think I might have posted this "after" (during) pic before but just found this before pic - it was definitely my highest. I makes me cringe.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
