Perfectly Imperfect: Ashley's VSG Story



Recommended Posts

Syntax nectar is good...comes in a variety of flavors. It gets foamy when mixed with my bullet but I put it in the fridge at work and drink it midday. Tastes like kool-aid . I like the grapefruit, Twisted cherry and the tropical one.

Went bridesmaid dress shopping this past weekend. I would have usually dreaded this before. Dress that I have on is a 22 (I'm currently an 18) trying to hold it back so you can see the shape. I ordered a 16, but I imagine will have to have it altered anyway since the wedding isn't until November.

Your looking real good in that gown. I bet it felt so good to have to hold in the extra material. I am surprised they didn't put some clips it for you. By Nov you will probably be at goal. I sure hope they can take in all that fabric and make the dress fit you like it should. What a wonderful event to look forward to.

In the first pic it has clips on it. In the second pic I hadn't come out of the dressing room yet for her to clip it. It definitely does feel good and I hope they'll be able to take it in as well. Cause I really don't want to buy another dress! Lol

@@ladycook9713 if you do need to buy another dress that would definitely be a awesome reason.... "Sorry honey I had to buy another dress because the one I got is too big and just falls off of me" lol

My surgery date was 3/25. This amount includes pre-op and 13lbs I lost before I started this process.

I'm currently 216 and my goal weight is 150 so I still have 66lbs to go.

Next milestone is to reach onederland! Only 16.2lbs to go lol

That was March this year, 4 months ago. WOW!!!!! I am now 342 and still have 4 more months of a supervised diet before surgery in 2016 if approved. I am hoping to lose down too the low 300's before surgery so I can get to goal by my 61st birthday in 2017
