2-9-5

Today is my weekly Sunday weigh-in and I was completely suprised to see that I now weigh less than 300 pounds!  I really cannot tell you the last time I saw a number beginning with a 2 on the scale.  As I stood there looking at the reading of 295, my eyes welled up with tears and I felt... proud.  Proud of myself for making the decision to have surgery, proud because I have followed my plan, and proud that this is working.  It's not always easy, but is so very worth it!

If I could pass on one piece of advice it would be this.  PLEASE do not freak out if the scale doesn't move.  I had been at 302 for almost a week and then today... 295.  I didn't change my diet, my exercise, etc.  I just stuck to the plan and it works.  No need to stress yourself unneccessarily.  If you're doing what you're surgical team asks, you will lose. 

Hope everyone has a great day!

Congratulations, big big time!  I can not wait to have a 2 at the beginning of my numbers. 

A big Wahoo sent your way and a hug too.  That is beyond great and you should feel very proud of yourself!

Thank you so much!  This scale victory is definitely a big one for me.  It feels so good!

Your post made me tear up too!  I am so proud of you, and you have such a great attitude.  Excellent advise on the stalls, I lost in steps... weight, then inches, weight, then inches and so on down to goal.

Big proud hugs to you! 

Keep on a rockin' that Sleeve!

Thank you, thank you!  I am definitely experiencing the stair-step effect as well. All the while I was sitting at 302 I noticed body changes.  For example, I cleaned out my closet and dresser and found a 32 gallon bag of clothes to donate that are too big and my wedding ring is almost falling off!

A big CONGRATULATIONS to you! I know you feel awesome! It is just going to get better!

Keep up the good work,

It is an awesome feeling.  It looks like you are doing great as well!  Here's to our continued success! 

Awww, thanks! Everytime I look at the scale I want to cry because I want to say "I haven't been this small since. . . " but I can't remember when! I love every minute of this and I am constantly looking for ways to come up with new high protein, low fat and low carb recipes as well as how to sneak in exercise now.

It feels great to be returning to normal health and feeling better than I ever remember! I had no idea that VSG could be this beneficial and now I don't know what I was afraid of!

Here's to optimal health,

WoW awesome accomplishment!! congrats & continued success to you!

Congratulations, Seeing numbers move is so rewarding and when you move into new numbers like that it's just amazing. You should be proud of yourself as we are of you. Continued success to you.
