8 mths today since surgery & had the worse month ever, only lost 5.5 lbs. Work so hard this month but scales didn't show it. So close to goal & hate that I've slowed down with losing. But not giving up only 14 lbs to goal!!

A little set back, Dr. thinks I might have Shingles.....AGAIN! I had them severely 3 yrs ago. This time not nearly as bad but still no fun. Comes when very stressed and/or immune system is weak (common after surgery). Aparently I'm one of the few unlucky people that has recurring case.

Added almost double calories yesterday (still under 600 for the day) but this morning lost 2 lbs. Crazy but true

Anyone else missing all the pumpkin flavored goodies out there. It's my favorite and I always look forward to this time of year when everything is pumpkin. sure missing it right now

Been stalled since adding full liquids on Monday, so frustrating!! Working out daily and tracking calories but the scales won't move. So maddening...

Down 80 LBS !! since one year ago this month. Feeling so much more fit, happy, healthy and free!

First baby milestone, one week.... 8.5 lbs down since surgery, don't know if that's "the norm" but I'm happy to have it.

Had a great day shopping (never thought I would ever say that), tried on a pair of size 6 dress pants and they fit! I had to double check the label and tag. I still can't believe it. Less than 1 year- size 24W to size 6. BEST DECISION I ever made.

Happy Anniversary!! we did it! You look fabulous!

Happy sleeve Anniversary!! We made it.

Haven't visited site in forever and just saw your before & after pix....you look amazing, just amazing !!

I made it...."Normal" BMI, unbelievable. So excited.

It 4 weeks and didn't loose at all this week, so frustrating! I had hoped for 20 lbs the first month, not going to happen. Worried that if you do the best the first 3 months, already going slow.

Made it thru Thanksgiving..... thanks to the help of my boyfriends parents dogs. lol No one noticed.

Made it to my 1 year anniversary and pass my goal, loving my new size

Ok I may only eat yogart the rest of my life. One bit too many of tuna salad and felt like death. Having trouble figure out the cut off point....until I'm past it sadly.

OMG the breakroom is filled with donuts, bagels, cakes, pastries, Krispy Kreme, tons of it, the long table is overflowing. This must be a test, lol.

OMG, weighed 146 this morning, can't believe it. I've never been this low in my adult life. Afraid to weigh again in case it's a mistake, lol. So exciting!!!

Only 1 lb away from "normal" BMI !!! I might not eat a few days just to get there. LOL

Purchase size 10 bathsuit shorts bottom today, made me forget all about my 3 week stall.

Really having a hard time this month with head hunger, during a really stressful time right now. On top of it, I can eat a lot more then right after surgery. Really don't want to get off track.

Stall stall go away, NEVER to come back again some day!!

Stressing over going home for the holidays & being with family that doesn't know about my VSG. Already getting pressure about not coming long enough, and know I'll be pressured about not eating enough, just doesn't sound like much fun.

The New Year brought me to Onederland!! Feels great

Tomorrow will be one week from surgery, feel like I am doing good. Like most struggling with getting in the protein level and fluids but not stressing over it just keep trying. Can't wait for clear liquids to be over!
