WOW!!! Size 4 you look amazing!!!! Congrats!!!

I have been hearing that from alot of people that they would have guessed me to be smaller then a 16 too!! WOOHOO!!! I can't imagine what I'm going to look like after another 50 pound loss...This is an amazing Journey!!! and so worth it!!!

Oh and Shea I started at size 24 and am wearing a size 16 bottom and large tops!

Gosh where has the time gone???? It's crazy to think that 6 months ago today, I had the VSG!!! and It's the greatest thing in the WORLD!! I'm down a total of 80 pounds as of today!!! :purplebananna: I'm so close to Onederland and was hoping to be there by today, but hey I'll get there!!! I weighted in today at 203...I started at 282 and since surgery have lost a total of 65 pounds..It has been a struggle the past couple of months, but I knew that would happen. I think that I need to eat more, I don't think that 3 small meals a day is doing enough for me and some days I only drink about 40 ounces of Water..so I'm trying to up both and gonns see if that helps.. I hope everyone else is doing great!!! Thanks for reading!!

Thank you everyone!!! I am exercising but not as much as I shuold be..Only like 2 times a week, so I know that if I focus, I can continue with great success..Already today I have planned 2 extra protein snacks and gonna really try for 80 ounces of water today...Hoping by Monday to finally hit ONEDERLAND!!!! ONLY 3 pounds to go!!!!

Congrats to you and your family!! She is BEAUTIFUL!!! So glad all went well!!

Okay I screwed up my weight today was 202..ugh and I can't figure out how to edit this new VSG website!

I'm in the same boat..I'm gonna be 6 months tomorrow and I'm down 81 pounds..but the past two months I have been struggling to get to Onederland!!! I go anywhere from 205-201..then back to 204..ugh!!! It's frustrating, but I think my problem is I'm not eating enough or drinking enough water..so I think if I concentrate on those things it may help...Best of Luck..this is not an easy Journey by any means...But it is so worth it!!!!

When I went ot him last time I asked for the pill form, he said next time I come in he will give me the pill form..not sure why he wont let me take it..I take my allegra and it's a horse pill, I just break it in half and my singiular is a small tablet..Not sure why, but he is the doctor, so I've just listened to him..But I had never heard of the Barretts before, so I will definately start taking it whether I like it or not. Thanks!!

Hi Everyone, I have a question to those sleevers who are farther out then me..I am almost 6 months out and I still get the severe heartburn/acid reflux, when did it stop for you? I haven't taken the Nexium in a couple months, because I hate the powder Nexium..but the past couple weeks, I thought it was getting better, but nope the past couple days it has hurt so BAD!! I hate it!!! So any advise would be great, I go back to the doctors in 3 weeks and if its not better then I'm demanding that he give me a tablet to take instead of that stinking powder..UGH!! Okay vent over!!! LOL

Boy, does this post fit me like a "T"...I have been fighting with onederland for about a month now too and I'm so close I can taste it!! I'm at 204 and if I could just get these 5 pounds off..UGH!!! I have a very hard time with water too, but Lilmissdiva is right, I need to just DO IT!! and timing myself might be a good thing...I don't drink more then maybe 40 ounces a day, and I know that is bad!!! So I'm taking a stand with you and I CAN DO THIS!!! Thanks for the post!!!

WOW!! You go girl!! You are rocking them size 6 jeans..Can't wait til I'm there!!! Congrats!!

I agree with everyone..Once I hit my 50 pound mark, then people really started commenting..I love it now, no matter where I go I hear OMG have you lost alot of weight..and I smile and say yes I'm down....It's such a great feeling and self esteem booster!!! You will get there just give it time!!

You look amazing!! You are rocking that sleeve!! You go Girl!!!

WOW!! that is incredible!! Great Job!!!!

This is the most wonderful thing I could have ever done for myself..I can't even begin to say how great I feel..and I sure as heck never thought I'd ever have a self esteem again..but I DO!!! As of today I am down 70 pounds!!! On Friday I put on a pair of jeans from at least 8 years ago, that I loved and had saved for one of those days that I might be thinner again..and I thought no way are they gonna fit..OMG..THEY FIT!!!!!!!! and they were a size 17 in Juniors...WOW!! I yelled for my boyfriend to come look, cause I thought they were to tight, and he said they look great!!! WOOHOO!!!! I am loving my sleeve!!!!!!!!!!

I take 2000 mcg a day and it helps...and yes it is for hjair loss..

I recently hit my 4 month post op and it's such an amazing feeling to walk into a place where there are people I haven't seen all summer and for them not to even recognize me!!! I love it!!!! I can't believe how different I look and feel already..I'm finally half way there and have 67 pounds more to go!! It's such a great feeling..I know that I couldn't have and never would have lost this much weight on Weight watchers...I thank god every day for my sleeve!!!!!!

I lost 14 pounds on my two week preop diet, it consisted of 3 Protein shakes and one small salad with grilled chicken and oil and vinegar dressing. Best of luck to you on your upcoming surgery!!

Tiff, you are such an inspiration!!! I'm so happy for you and your hubby!! Congrats on the new home and the upcoming birth of your baby!! Also thank you to you and your husband for all you sacrifice for our freedom!!!!
