Topic: RE: Update

I am now 15 months now from my surgery. I am not at goal but I am not gaining either. Hopefully I will be at goal by October 2013. Had my surgery October 2012. I exercise every day but I guess I am just stuck. I now weigh 143 pounds and wear a size 10 in Jeans and I am 5/2" tall. My goal is 125.

Topic: RE: One year October 18

I saw dr Nicholson on Friday. This was my one year visit. He told me you lose 70 percent of your weight 18 to 24 months after surgery. I have lost 77 percent in 12 months...so I am on track even though I am not at goal. I was 230 pounds. Today I am 152.2. I have 25 more pounds to lose. I am not the fastest loser but it will eventually come off

Topic: RE: IVC filter?

I had it done before I had knee surgery in 2007. I still have it. Don't fret. Piece of cake. More protection for you. I had a history of blood clots also.

Zumba is so much fun. I do it twice a week, hip hop once a week, body pump once a week. Elliptical three times a week and finally weight train three times a week. My body has changed.

Topic: RE: Almost One Year

October 18, 2012 I will be one year since my VSG. I started at 230 and my weight this morning is 155.4. My goal is 125-130. I think it will take me a little longer however, something is better then nothing. I've been a slow loser but I try not to compare myself to anyone. I was a size 22 in pants and now I am a 10. Just thought I would say hello to everyone and for those that are slow losers....it does come off.....lots of water, correct portion of food, tracking your food, and exercise. Maybe in 6 months or so I will be at 125-130.
