what's one thing you're excited to do as a result of weight-loss that you couldn't do pre-op? I'm looking forward to getting on the rides at Disneyland with my kids.

Take lots of pictures with my kids, and BE in the picture for a change. It sounds so vain, but I hide from cameras, and if I died tomorrow, my kids would have very few pictures of me. I just want to feel comfortable enough in my own skin again, and BE in the pictures!!

I've been able cross off lots of items on my can't-wait-to-do-when-i'm-smaller list, but the one of the things I haven't done yet that's at the top of said list is to go scuba diving WITHOUT having to pile on 20lbs of weights to hold me down (was always so embarrassed of this when everyone else was like using <10lbs). And I won't have to wear a Mens XL wetsuit anymore!

@ChubRub: I hear ya on the pictures. There are probably more pictures of me just in the past 12 months than the are in the last 15 years pre-op total. Though I would highly recommend taking regular pics of yourself during weight loss phase...its awesome to look back and see how far you've come!

I love seeing your pics on the OOTD thread!! I can't wait to join that thread when I hit goal (or at least get closer to it)! For now, I'm happy to be inspired by the rest of you ladies!!

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
