I'm ~8 pounds from my goal. Very thankful...but I'm having a hard time believing I'm this much smaller. I can fit into the same size clothes as my 18 y/o son now. I wish my mind would catch up with where my body is. I'm sure there are alot of people that would love to have my problem right now so I don't want to sound ungrateful. I'm very glad I'm a lot healthier. . VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 228.8 GW = 220 (6'5")

Update! This morning I celebrated 125 lbs gone forever by running & hiking at Hanging Rock to train for my upcoming Trail Half Marathon. A year ago something like this would be a passing thought...dissapointed in myself, unhealthy, afraid to do something for me. There was something abnormally peaceful at the top. No one else there. No noise but the wind. The scent of the earth, the pines. And me. Maybe it was like that for 5 minutes. Could have been longer, I don't know. A brief moment of solitude and I knew, I could feel, that I remain at peace within myself. Living life instead of existing in life - Priceless.

Yes, it's hard to put yourself first. I felt the same, but, I don't regret it!! Never looking back...always moving forward!! VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 235.4 GW = 220 (6'5")

Amazing!! VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 235.4 GW = 220 (6'5")

Awesome job!! VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 235.4 GW = 220 (6'5")

Great job! You should be proud! VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 235.4 GW = 220 (6'5")

1. Your wound opening after 5 weeks is not normal...it s/b fully closed by now. I rec. you see your Dr. 2. I can't help you there...I'm almost never hungry and have to remind myself to eat. 3. It gets somewhat better with time...but I've read it'll always happen at least, from time to time. Don't sweat the stall. What works for me during a streak is to switch up what I'm eating. I get stuck in patterns eating the same things over and over and that seems to help break the stall. Good luck on your journey! VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 235.4 GW = 220 (6'5")

Thank you! You got this!! VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 236.6 GW = 220 (6'5")

Absolutely amazing!! Great job! VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 236.6 GW = 220 (6'5")

Same here...I was never cold before. Once the weight started dropping I feel exactly like you...too dang cold!! But, I'll take it anytime over being unhealthy and obese. It's a fair trade off. VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 236.6 GW = 220 (6'5")

I was off 4 weeks. I might have been able to go back sooner, but appreciated the extra time so that when I did go back I wasn't feeling exhausted all the time. VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 236.6 GW = 220 (6'5")

Beautiful in both pics! Definitely can see the difference in the second. Nice job. Congrats! VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 236.6 GW = 220 (6'5")
