I was sleeved on Sept 2, 2011 and i lost about 40 pounds in 3 weeks and then I stalled for almost a month. I think most people have a stall around this time, its probably because our bodies have to catch up with what's going on. Don't stress about it, keep doing what you're doing and the scale will move. Congratulations on your weight lost so far and keep up the good work.

It hasn't been easy but I would do all over again. I haven't been sick or anything like that but sometimes I still forget to eat and take my Vitamins but I'm working on it and getting better. I can't believe that I'm almost at goal and I'm finally loving what I see when I look in the mirror.

I've lost 142 pounds and my curves are still there. In the beginning I hated them but now I finally like how I look. Curves and all

So here I am almost 1 year out from surgery and as of last Friday I weigh 207 pounds, that makes a total of 137 pounds gone since the day of surgery . My surgery was Sept 2 and my birthday is August 31st, so I have a lot to Celebrate :-). I'm making this post a little early because I'm going to be off for 13 days and I won't have access to a computer, hopefully when I come back I'll have pictures since I haven't uploaded any in awhile. This hasn't been easy by a long shot and for people that think it is I wish I could make them understand that it isn't. I've heard or had people comment and say "oh you took the easy way out", when they say that I just yell at them or better still I want them to try to remember to eat, take your Vitamins, get your Protein in, exercise, work and still live your life. After a couple of days I'm sure they would change their minds. I never really could picture myself at 200 pounds and now that I'm almost smaller than that it kind of freaks me out, I don't want to get to small. In the beginning I wanted to get down to about 160-165 now I think that if I get down to 180-185 I'll be happy. I know that it really is up to my body but I'm crossing my fingers and toes that I'll stop around then, lol My next goal is to get under 200 pounds, which I'm so close to. For those of you out there who are just starting this journey it's not easy but it is so worth it. Take the dive you'll be so happy that you did

My before and after 3 months out

So in the last couple of days I've had some WOW monents, I wanted to share with you all........before surgery I was wearing a 4x pants to work this morning I put on a pair of 2x pants. Yesterday I walked to the grocery store up the street from my job which is up a hill and I had to walk up about 30 steps. I'm so proud of myself and happy as well.

This is my first time checking in, I had surgery on 9/2/10 and I have lost 34lbs as of this morning.
