so today started as a really good day. i was so excited and happy about my progress as this morning i hit the 180's! yes, only 189, but still, yippee for me!

then this afternoon i printed the pictures of our company christmas party from this past weekend. now i feel like crap again! omg, i look so huge. my face is all really fat and my eyes are all squinty. i thought i would be lookin better in photos, but NO!, i dont!

urg, how something so simple can just totally ruin my mood and outlook. it just sucks!

sorry, i just had to vent.

Sweetheart- pictures can not capture the trueness of your beauty, as they are only one dimensional. You lost 26 pounds and you are at 189 pounds!!!! :welldone2:I think that is so wonderful, amazing, and something that you should be proud of. If it were me I would go home and take tons of pictures until I found the one that I liked the best. Put on your favourite outfit, do your makeup, hair, and then it is lights, camera, action! :) :)

You know pictures depend on alot of things to make them look good! If the cameraman has no idea about light, angles, ect you are doomed. You are doing great, keep up the good work! Don't let a damn picture put you down!

I understand how you feel. I have gone through the same kind of thing several times since banding. I will start feeling good and thinking I am looking better, and then moments happen when I feel so frustrated- like I am still way fat, have a ton to lose, etc. I think this is just going to be a process. Sometimes it is easy to Celebrate successes, and sometimes it is easy also to stress over how far still to go... But atleast this time we know there is definitely going to be success at the end of this long tunnel. We can do it!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
