Hello everyone. Everyone seems to be doing pretty great! It's been forever since I have checked in here so here is a little update. Hw 315 SW 295 CW 230 (VSG 1/19) I am currently down 65lbs since surgery! I'm feeling great, yet I wish the weight loss hadn't slowed so much lately, LOL! It gets nerve-wreaking! I'm going to leave a few pics o share a little too. Keep up the good work everyone! Don't get too discouraged by the scales

Doesn't that just make you want to cry, but in a good way!

Me too! I can't believe it's been 4 months! I can't believe it when I look in the mirror, I can't believe in another month or two I could be in onederland. I took before photos and put them in a vault on my phone and they went corrupt four some reason so I'm trying to find a pic so that I can do the before and after...do you have one yet?

Yea, unfortunately I have lot of before pictures UUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! I have yet to take an after picture yet. I guess I am still afraid to see what the picture looks like! Please keep me updated on your progress. Your doing AWESOME girl!!!!!!!!!! My husband keeps staring at me. I ask him why do you keep staring at me and he says I never seen you look this thin before! I am so proud of you!

that is so cute that he said that, wow it's a great feeling! I stare at myself in the mirror lol, lots of people have been astonished in the last few weeks, ones that haven't seen me since I was about 300

What do you all think was the hardest thing for you to deal with on our journey? Are you all happy with your progress?

The hardest thing was when I lost my appetite, had severe nausea, anxiety and depression. I didn't even want to wake up in the morning. I don't have a clue what was going on, never ever felt like that in my life. But I got thru it just like everyone said I would. And I'm so happy now.

I am so happy for you downsizingdiva! I can definitely relate. To add on to yours, I also struggled with knowing where my wall is. Sometimes I still do.But getting to know when to stop a lot more now. I also had to get used to not eating as much as I used to and the relationship I had with food. I used to be my comfort and go to that made me happy at times. I no longer need food like that. I also adopted a healthier organic lifestyle with working out. I fell so good!

I think I was just an over eater. I didn't feel the need to eat all the time but when I did, look out! I told my fiancee I don't make bad good choices, I just eat like three times too much...My stomach had always been big. I remember when I was very young I polished off an entire bag of Doritos by myself and never flinched. That was the first time I realized that I ate way more than everyone else. My eating was never emotional or anything I just longed for that satiated feeling which took a tin of food to get me there. The sleeve was exactly what I needed...REDUCED VOLUME. So very thankful. LAST NIGHT WE WENT SHOPPING, I HAD BEEN TO A FRIEND'S YARD SALE ON THURS, I BOUGHT A PAIR OF JEAN BERMUDA SHORTS THAT WERE A SIX 16, never thought for a second they would fit, but since I dont have many votes right now I tried then on and they fit, and the t shirt was an xxl and it fit, I JUST HONESTLY CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! I haven't worn a 16 since I was like 16 and I'm 36!!!!!

Hey everyone how is everyone doing? I pray everyone is doing well. Just checking in.The weight is coming off slower for me like a turtles pace. Can't complain because this was the best decision of my life. Took a new face picture, finally I loved it ! No more double chin! Or should I say triple chins! I have 21 more pounds to reach goal and when I do I will post a full body pic of before and after. Tell me everyone how is going so far? This is my new face pic. 58 pounds gone! YYYEEEEAAAAAA!!!!!!
