Beyond my wildest dreams



Recommended Posts

I hope this comes off as inspirational and not bragging

I had sleeve surgery March 31, 2015. So almost a year already! I started at 232 and today was 131.6!!!!! My goal was 150. I'm 5'3" and 45 yrs old.

I was an athlete at 200 so that plays a big role in my success I think. But mainly, I just follow the rules. I still struggle with hydration. Had my first blood work since surgery and everything was perfect! So proud of that because it shows I'm doing things right as far as my Vitamin routine and Protein goals go.

You can do it, too! It isn't always easy but I like being thin. I do struggle A LOT with body image issues, confusion about my size and feeling like I'm disappearing, but it's just another part of the process.

Thanks for listening and your support!!!

It's a whole new world. My dreams are all coming true.

@@ridingrae That is inspirational. I just had surgery a few days ago and am feeling a little, "What on earth did I do to myself?" I'm so glad you are a year post-op and having lots of success.

Doesn't sound like bragging to me! You have done fantastic! I think it really helps for the pre-op and immediately post-op folks to see these sorts of posts. Shows them that it will all be worth it in the end, but also shows that it takes work and dedication to be successful with WLS.

Inspirational for sure & so what if you're bragging a little....you've earned the right. This post is also encouraging for those of us who are more then a year out and still not at goal.Congrats to you!

Do you mind sharing what dress size you wear now?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
