juzmejnee 9 Posted November 15, 2011 Hi all, I have always been a pretty slow loser. And ive hit a crazy stall this past month. im hoping my 1.5 lb loss is gone forever, but we will see. Ive been feeling a bit discouraged so i put 2 photos together that showed me before, and a current photo 4.5 months out. I still have a llooonngg way to go, my face doesn't seem to wanna give, but im hoping ill lose in my face soon. But wanted to share with you all, my VSG family....hope all is well 1 LilMissDiva Irene reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juzmejnee 9 Posted November 15, 2011 Awww thank u!! Its been a slower process for me, and sometimes I have to see the comparison side by side. Thanks for the kind words . Most of my weight loss was post surgery. I lost about 7lbs pre -op. Thanks again for the encouragement! hope u both are well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juzmejnee 9 Posted November 15, 2011 Awww thank guys. you seriously are making me tear up. Because its been so frustrating thru this stall and i sometimes i just don't see it. I am very thankful.I can actually play with my son and walk around Disneyland forever without getting short of breath. For that i am sooo very thankful. Thank you for the sweet words, really they mean so much to me. Lele: how are you feeling? Hoping you are doing well and that recovery is quick and easy for you. COngrats on your surgery. Mnbsleeve: thank you so much friend. you really made my heart smile BTW my hair is falling out like crazy!!! IVe always had a lot of hair, so thank goodness for that. But i feel like a dog shedding everywhere i go. I do take Biotin. ive noticed that i still lose a lot of hair when i brush, but its not as much. It was coming out in clumps . It looked like big ol'spiders in my shower. But thank you. I hope my hair stays love you guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shea 13 Posted November 16, 2011 You look fantastic girl and so happy! You've done amazing, keep us posted on your progress!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swizzly 901 Posted November 16, 2011 Haha, I don't think you're a slow loser -- but that's because you're losing at the same rate I have been, and I think I'm doing awesome. :biggrin: Seriously, you look great and there's a MAJOR difference between your two photos, including in your face (I also have a round face and took a while to lose the extra chins LOL). FWIW, I stalled for two months from month six to eight and then started losing again. It can't fail if you keep to your good practices, the sleeve totally works. You're doing great!! :smile1: PS: My hair still looks like thin wispy crap LOL, I hope it starts to improve one of these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
