Ok guys, Thursday was my one year anniversary, but Sundays are my weigh & picture day, so postponed any updates until today. I'm now officially an 18/20 top and 22 bottom. That's down from a 34+ top & bottom pre-op, and a total loss in my first year of 130 lbs.

Here are my progress pics. Note: NO, I don't wear camis alone, only under things but it's one of the only things I could find that's "clingy" and would show my current shape.

i cannot believe it has already been 5 months... picture time!

weight loss has REALLY slowed ... REALLY REALLY slowed, but i know i am gaining muscle... in fact, if i compare 4 month and 5 month pics my shoulders and chest area look bigger in the 5 month pics, but the shirt hangs lower ... go figure...

i am down just about 80, pretty much the same as last month (less than 4 pounds lost last month :girl_hug: )

You all look wonderful!!! I can't wait to see if my insurance company will approve me...I just turned 41 today and I'd LOVE to lose about 130 pounds!!! I've been eating healthier and just started walking so I've lost 12 1/2 lbs since January 11th, but it's SOOOO hard when I can eat whatever I want lol...

Good job everyone!!!

Here's my starting photo - about 265 lbs here (I'm in the pink sweater, right hand side...this was Thanksgiving 2006 with my kids, mom and daughters boyfriend)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
