Dottie May 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Hello! My name is Dottie and this is my first visit to this site. I was referred by a friend and I'm hoping to find a good source of information here. I had my VSG surgery on December 15, 2009. On surgery day I weighed 376. Today, I weight 255. So that's 121 lbs gone! I'm thrilled with that truly I am. I have however, been experiencing a stall lately. I've been tossing around a couple pounds since November. I try not to let it bother me, but some days that's easier said than done. My highest recorded weight that I remember was 403 and I think that was back in 2007/8 thereabouts. I exercise 6 out of 7 days with 4 of those days spent on cardio and 3 spent on weight training. I eat Protein first and do my best with diet. I look forward to sharing stories and milestones. What an exciting journey to gain life back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinoneday 445 Posted February 23, 2011 Hi and welcome Dottie. . . I had my surgery on Dec 29, 2009. . .just a few days after you. . . I've done excellently too just like you! I'm kicking around with the weight now as well. . . it has slowed down really really badly, but you know what i think? Good for me at least i lost the 150 lbs and am at goal for my WL surgeon. I would love to lose another 20 or 30 lbs. but highly doubt that will happen. . . that is ok for me at least i'm not 350 anymore! I'm living life well, and can actually do things i never could do before. . . I still have to get used to shopping in the mall verus the Roaman's catalogue though. . .can't get a hold of that yet. . . one day. . . I've gone from a snug 4XL to a L now and think that is great. . . anyhow keep posting and together we'll get there. . . PM me if you'd like as well. . . chat soon again!
