Hello all! It's been a while since I've been on this site and even longer since I've posted pics. So, I thought I'd check in and post a new pic. I had my surgery in April 2008 and the "before" pic was the day I started the pre-op diet. The new pic was two days ago. I've lost about 100 pounds. I really want to lose about 12 more pounds, but they are extremely stubborn. :) I'm a little below the weight my doc thought I'd be able to reach so I'm a happy girl. I love my life. I'm 4 weeks from graduating nursing school, I run at least 25 miles/week, and can shop anywhere I want. It doesn't get any better than this! Good luck to all who are just starting their journey, it's all worth it! And I hope all my bandster friends are doing well! Have a blessed day!

It’s been a while so here is a little update. The first picture is about 6-8 months pre-band (about 285lbs). The second was a few weeks ago on a cruise ship. The third was just a few days ago in my new Triathlon wetsuit. I made it to goal in about 10 months and have been focusing more on fitness than weight since then.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
