I have made it 6 months with my VSG and it has been quite a ride.  I am down 48.5 pounds and have mixed emotions.  On one side I am happy because I am down, feel great and have people tell me all the time how good I look (physically and emotionally) but the other side of me is disappointed by my slow rate.  I started out well but have significantly slowed down to ~4 pounds a month for Oct/Nov and nothing really in Dec.  I want to see a 55 pound loss  by the end of January and will start my food journal back today to make that happen!  I love my sleeve and while I am wishing the number was higher, I am thrilled that I can make it through the holiday's without gaining and maintaining my loss!

I think you did awesome.  I'm sure once you get back onto your food journaling you'll get to that 55 lb loss. Just keep your chin up and think positive thoughts.  :)

Highest Wt: 264, band May '05, pre sleeve wt 235, current 189, personal goal 140

Me too! I lost 30 pounds in the first month and a half then nothing... I haven't gained over Christmas either but expected more. I am going to start Jazzersize this week and hope that with all the christmas junkfood gone I can get back on track... Cross your fingers for me and good luck to you!
