Finally!!!!!!!  I am not in a stall and have lost 43 pounds to date.  The only thing I can say is that I wish I had done this years ago.

The only down side is dating.  I find it hard because I don't want to tell people that I just meet about my surgery and they don't understand why I eat so little!  I just say that I don't have a big appetite and that I usually eat several small meals a day rather than three large ones! I recently started dating someone exclusively and he knows so hopefully our relationship will work out and I will not have this problem anymore (lol)!

I am down 34 pounds!!!!!!!!!  So that means I have lost almost half of my goal weight.  I am soooooooooo excited but it is really slow.  I hope that I can be at goal by Christmas.  We'll have to see.  I know when you get closer to goal it gets harder.  

It is so awesome to have such great support on this board.  It is such a help to know that other people have been successful in their journies!

I have lost 30 pounds.  I have about 45 pounds to go until I reach goal.  I have been in somewhat of a funk because I will be 40 years old on Monday!  I tried on a skirt the other day and could not believe that I was able to wear a size 10 in the regular misses department!  I hope to be thin before I make 41 lol!

I am two months post op today.  I have lost a total of 27 pounds.  I will need to loose about 44 more pounds to reach my goal of 125.  When I get to 125, I may try to loose down to about 115, we will just have to see.

Anyway, I am feeling great!  I love my sleeve!!!!!!!!!!

I finally lost again.  I guess I have been on a stall until today.  I lost another two pounds which brings my grand total to 24 pounds lost!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went in for my one month check up today.  Dr. Hargroder was 2 hours behind.  Since I was not having any complications, I weighed and went home.  I was down 3 more pounds bringing my grand total to 22 pounds!

I wish it would hurry up and come off!  (lol)

I only lost 1 pound this week.  Saw Dr. Melancon (Internal Med) and he said that I should not get discouraged as i may only loose about 2 pounds a week since my weight is 177.  Anyway my goal weight is 120-125 so I have got about 50 pounds left to loose!!!!

3 Week Grand Total - 19 pounds

I lost 2 pounds this week bringing my total to 18!  Just trying to follow the rules and eat enough food, drink, protein, etc.

I went for my check up with Dr. Hargroder today.  They told me I am down 16 pounds from my preop weight.  I can hardly believe it!

Once when I was seeing a nutritionist I lost 8 pounds in a week, it was withoug a doubt harder than this!

I am looking forward to continuing my weight loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If only I could fast forward the clocks just a couple of months.

I am so excited about the 23rd!  I do have jitters but mostly about being put to sleep.  I have had two cesarean sections and can't imagine this being any harder than those.  I have researched and researched VSG until I am almost tired!  I am praying that my surgery is text book.
