Word! What I'm trying to look at is that even though I don't look great....I feel amazing! I'm all floppy when I run...but at least I don't have to fear my thigh rub starting a fire or getting a black eye from my obscenely large boobs. It's those little things that make the saggy new me a happier new me. Good luck to you...it is really hard!

151...with all the ham I ate yesterday I was sure I'd weigh much more. Didn't make goal but I'll take it! Susan, thanks for doing this!

CW:152...still....

CW:152 Thanks!!!

CW:153 Thank you, Susan!

CW: 153

I was sleeved at the end of April last year...my husband was just sleeved last week! Not only did my loss inspire him but his liquid diet has encouraged me to go back to the sleeve basics which I needed! I am convinced that I was far less of a baby during my recovery though

CW:154...what?!?

CW: 157 GW:149 RGW:156 (Realistic goal weight)

Please add me.... I need to win this one so my goal will be 149...I'd be thrilled to get into the 140's by Easter!!!

157.,.didn't make goal

If you have a Panda Express (or any Chinese place for that matter) near you..I found the hot & sour soup (strained) to be the most freakin flavorful thing in the world at that stage....seriously, it was like gold to me!

Still 158...it would be a small (& insignificant to the masses) miracle if I got close to my 153 goal one...oh well...

158....

No change...159!

159!!!!!

That although I'm completely miserable with a stomach flu...I'm super excited to see whet the scale will read tomorrow???

Ha ha...I will be a little sad when the weight comes back...but it's super awesome to be in the 150's today

Thank you, Kathy! Maybe I look better sideways ....really I'm not sure how it posted that way as the file was right side up when shot & when I clicked on it it corrected itself....ahh, technology!

Although I despise pix of myself I included one just as proof! My NSV is walking into the employee store & being able to buy a large fitted tee & having it actually fit! A year ago I never would've worn this....mainly cause it would've fit better around one of my thighs then my core GO DUCKS!!!!

That's funny! I'm sure you'll do great & probably much better results than me (way too many cookies during December). Anyhoo, grabbing stuff off the rack was a really great motivator for me! It's nice to not have to buy a men's duck tee shirt

CW:161....So close to the 150's...yay!!!!

Oh my, I'm a moron...I thought weigh ins were Fridays so I dint post on Monday....sorry! Here's hoping I remember in a few days

I had 2 c sections & recovered really well from both....if I didn't have newborns to take care of my recovery then would have been immediate I had a much harder time recovering from VSG...lots of nausea & having the pain higher up on my mid section caused more pain than I anticipated. It also caused a lot of acid which I did not have prior to surgery...which was very uncomfortable. I thought it'd be a piece of cake...but instead I just laid around dreaming of cake. I must add that the nausea only lasted a week & I also quit pain meds after 4 days....so it wasn't too terrible. But the pain was not at all like a c section for me. It took me a solid 2 months to feel normal again...but now at 8 months out, I believe it was the greatest gift I ever gave myself...I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Final weigh in weight:163! Up a pound from last week but thrilled to lose weight in December...that's new to me
