jtag - big difference! You look beautiful. Isn't it funny how we get a neck when we lose weight? Actually it is that 2nd chin going away, but still! hahah

Jtag,

We do have a before pics thread that has a lot of our pre op pics. I've been dragging my feet on posting my pics. I promise I'll get it done soon:cool2:

I look at my photos and can't tell a damn thing. I had all 4 of them up on my computer last night. My sisters' camera sucks. But when I get home later will post them for what its worth. I have the day before surgery and then one on each month anniversary or close to it, of the surgery.

I think too, that next month, I am going to take the picture with my hair done and makeup on because they are down right scary looking.

I am in awe at all of your progress!!! I am getting banded on May 1st and it almost seems surreal that I am finally going to have the tool that I need to manage my weight!!!

My weight has occupied way too much of my time and emotion over that last 40 yrs. It's time to live now!!!

I hope that I have as much success as you all have had. Congratulations on your victories and keep up the AWESOME work!!! :lol: :huh2:

I didn't realize my side view pic wasn't showing. Sorry they're so big. I think there's a little difference.

These are awesome, thanks to all for sharing! Like many of us, I hated pics in the past and I still don't like them. I had full-length pic taken about a month before my surgery so I need to get back in the same outfit and take another to see if I can see a difference.

I have totally plateaued at this point, I have had 2 fills, but no real restriction to speak of, my next one is in 3 weeks so I am looking forward to the "sweet spot" and to kick-start this back into gear!

Great job to everyone, I love seeing the progress pics!

Everyone's looking great!

Chrisann, I can tell a difference! It's always hard to see the changes in yourself.

Nukechik- your sig line says it all...you must have found a smaller booty!

Keep up the great work!

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
