10 months out
Jan 27, 2009
It has been 10 months today. I feel like I eat like a "normal" person now. Enjoying pretty much everything, just smaller amounts. So thankful that I can only eat smaller amounts. I am down 96lbs. Still working out lots and watching my carbs and focusing on protein. It is amazing to me how much better I feel and how much fun it is to be able to shop in the regular stores. Looking forward to losing more weight!!
New Year

New year, New Goals! I have been working out 5 days a week consistantly and I feel amazing! We have had beautiful weather, I have been enjoying hikes and working out at the gym. Really focused on my weight lifting and am starting to see results. I am going to Mexico in July and am really looking forward to it. I will even wear a swimsuit and hang out at the beach. My goal is to lose 50 more lbs by then. Will update more soon.

7 months out
Oct 27, 2008
Time flies! It has been 7 months today. I have not lost a pound since last month. But, I am okay with that. I have been exercising a lot. Walked 11 miles last week. Already did 3 today! My dog (s) are happy and so am I. My energy is amazing and I am thrilled with my results. I know I will start to lose again soon. Patience is a virtue! 
Exercised Today..Starting over
Oct 09, 2008
Thanks to everyone for your kind words of encouragement. I got up this morning and went for a hike with my dog! We both feel great. Also had my water and dense protein for breakfast. Cant even image eating anything else for a long time. I am too full from the chicken...

I was trying to get down 90 lbs for my six month anniversary, but instead I gained 4 lbs overnight. Very bizzare. I managed to lose 2-3 of the 4, but 1-2 keeps lingering. I have been in a slump for the last 10 days or so. Eating horrible, lots of carbs. Cookies, chips, chocolate, popcorn etc for no reason. Have not worked out in 7 days and cannot seem to motivate myself to get off my ass and do something. I have been eating around 1500-2000 calories a day. I was only eating 900 until my anniversary hit on the 27th. I guess I just got so down and went to the extreme. I am grazing constantly and making myself sick. I feel like I am exactly where I was before my surgery and I am losing control.
I need to start over, but I do not know where to begin. Help!

6 months out
Sep 28, 2008
Yesterday was my six month anniversary. What a difference 6 months makes. I am able to do so much more than I could before my VSG. I helped my Dad stain his deck on Friday night. It took us 2 1/2 hours. I am super sore from it, but I NEVER would have been able to have done it before my VSG. I had to squat down to reach it. Using my legs so much they started to cramp up towards the end. It turned out beautiful and I am so proud of myself.
I am down 88 lbs. Did not make my 90 lbs gone goal, but not too discouraged. I went shopping this last week and was able to were a XL in normal stores. Weird to not have to shop in the plus sizes. Took my dog to the beach yesterday and we walked for an hour. It was so nice. I try to take her for 2-3 mile hikes 3-4 times per week in addition to my gym routine. Weights are essential when dealing with saggy skin/muscles. I am able to eat so much more. had two bad days in a row. Ate a whole bag of cookies thru out a two day period. Put my calories at over 2000 each day.. Tons of carbs. Broke the cycle and started new. Feel so much better. It is nice to really be able to start over when you get off track. I am truly thankful that I had my surgery and will continue to lose to make it to goal.

Slow Losing
Sep 07, 2008
I have only lost 1 lb in the last 10 days. I am kinda bummed, but I have been exercing like crazy and my clothes are getting loose again. I need to focus more on my carbs (limiting them) and drinking more water. I know it is gonna come off, but I was hoping to be down more for my six months in 20 days!!!
5 months out
Aug 27, 2008
Well, it has been 5 months today. I am down 81 lbs and feeling great. I have a lot of energy and am really glad I got the surgery. My goal for 6 months is to be down 95 lbs. That means I need to lose 14 lbs in the next 30 days. I have slowed down on my weight loss during this last month. Only 9 lbs last month. But, I also ate horrible and hardly exercised. I am back on track and determined to be sucessful!!
