Im almost a year and two months out of having my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy in addition im down about 140 from my Heaviest of 387. Ive been bouncing between my 240's for about 3 months now which has made me think what else can I do to get this weight off.. I DO NOT  want to be thin however as I approach my goal of 225-235 I realize I would definitely like to be around 200lbs. Im active in my Daily routine (I walk anywhere from 5-6.5 hours a day for work) but Im definitely not putting in any extra work to get the results I know I can achieve. In the past months Ive even considered getting the second part to my surgery which would be the duodenal switch and after a brief thought of another hospital stay I quickly reconsidered. I have been content with my weight coming off with little to no effort and that is my greatest downfall.

On another not im loving the way I look in clothes STILL minus my stomach making it self known like a mistress at a wedding. I am now about a 12-14 in pants from a 26-28 and a large mens shirt and L-XL women shirt. I can fit old navy, express, Forever XXI plus size and REGULAR fit clothing even though fashion to figure is my Store nowadays.

I was sitting in the house today with my GF talking and realizing this vacay is going to fly by and what would I have done? NOTHING- So I signed up for a gym. BLINK FITNESS IN White PLAINS NY Even though I;ll be going to the Cross County Gym until mine opens up.. My sister has a 30th Bday party coming up that im planning and I want her to be able to have a blast and I want to feel at least one summer of my life that I looked and fet GREAT due to my own efforts.

Wish me Luck all I have some pictures to post when I get the time

Im considering starting my plastics sometime later this year anyone already been through it?

Be Blessed and Work for the results you want!
