My "so-far" pics.. nervous to post!



Recommended Posts

I'm going to attempt to post some updated sideways pics of me. For some reason I carry my weight from front to back.. pictures from the front I don't look much different because I'm not wide sideways. (Does this make sense?) anyway, I see a little bit of difference here. According to the inches, my butt is what has shrunk the most but my sister says my stomach looks like it has shrunk the most.. I had to change the t-shirts because the tshirt in the first one was just swamping me and you couldn't tell anything in the after pic. I wish I would have taken my pics in one of those tight work out outfits like others did that way you could really tell. Oh well. Ick, this is so embarrassing, hence the reason I'm not putting these on the main before/after picture page. LOL.

Crystal, no way! You must have had a pillow stuffed in your pants for that before picture???? Where did your butt go? And I can see the difference in your tummy, too. And you have NO reason to be embarrassed about those results. Keep doin' what you're doin', sugar. Good job!

Thanks!! No pillow that was all belly, ha ha!! I have been doing a LOT of crunches and leg lifts and working out almost every day. The only thing I hate about the after pic is my t-shirt in the back like hangs and then goes in because I use to have butt there. HA HA. But thank you so much!

Thanks you guys! you have truly made me feel wonderful and have given me that strength to continue on.. sometimes I get so sick of working out.. ya know?? But hearing all this makes me want to just keep on going... is it just me or does that t-shirt flap in the back of the after pic look stupid? I hope it doesn't look like a flap of fat or something. lol.

Nope it looks like your waist is too tiny for the shirt.

Looks to me like your butt and your belly are pretty well gone. You look great! (but we already knew that) Keep up the good work.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
