Recommended Posts

Thanks Mandy! That's great to know. I love those Dole Whips too! I hadn't thought about asking for half portions, although I know Disney is so accommodating for special situations. I figured I would just eat a bit of whatever my DH ordered. We're heading down next in January. Can't wait!

I think my arms and tummy are showing it more than anywhere else. Hubby says the new picture dosen't do the weightloss justice. I am thinner in my face too but it just does not show in pictures. ~Mandy

I have carpal tunnel syndrome, so I'm typing with clunky braces on my hands. When I clap it's like boards banging together. Can you hear the noise?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that is great Mandy!!!!!!!! I just dream of the day. I have just a quick question for you though. I noticed your tattoos (beautiful). The thing is that I have some too and have been really worried that if I lose alot of weight it will change them. Have you noticed any real difference with them. Any advice given would be appreciated. Again CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jladybird, my tattoos have not changed at all. I have them on my back, arms, legs and feet and they all look fine. Even the one on my chest is still looking good, my boobs are shrinking but so it the tattoo. Yours will be fine also. Just make sure that if you decide to have plastic surgery later on you find a tattoo friendly surgeon. ~Mandy

Tink, I just wanted to update this thread and give you a heads up. We are going back to Disney and when I made the ADR's, they reassured me that if I could show a card explaining my surgery I could eat at the kids price. So Chef Mickey's will only cost me $13 instead of $27 I am taking my card and we are eating at several character buffets and all of them should allow me to eat at the kids price. I also plan on sharing my counter service meals with my daughter. Hope this helps. ~Mandy

Wow. There is a big difference in your stomach area! And I know what you mean about DL. We go every year (we also went on our honeymoon) and every year I have been fatter and more and more worried about fitting on rides. Plus my feet are in AGONY by the end of the day. That is one NSV I am looking forward too. NO foot agony and having a better time.:dance: :dance:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
