Well 12 =weeks post and feeling better every day.Have lost over 21kg (46.86lb).I am starting to see adifference but still consider myself fat! Until i loose another 14kg and get to 70kg i will always see myself as the fat girl.I know that sounds silly but thats how i feel.People who have not seen me in 3 years dont see a difference as i weighed this weight then! Then there ae othe rpeople who notice the loss and make you feel good about your self.I am abit of an impatient person and i want the results now!! It kills me knowing it will probably be another 12 weeks before i see another major change.Oh well shouldnt whinge im going down not up!!
My husband makes me laugh, he asked when was i going to loose my gut!! God they have no idea, its not as though i choose to loose weight every where else , im guessing my stomach is going to be a work in progress.I am about to start doing pilates so it may help!
I now have skinny legs and a fat waist a bit uneven but better than being fat all over

Yes i am starting to jump for joy.I have lost another 6.8kg this month and i feel better every day.I am now not so scared when i have a bad week as it seems to come off the next week.I am slowly becoming the person i use to be.Since i started this journey i have lost a total of 17.5kg!!WOW OR FOR THE NON METRIC PEOPLE 38.5LB.
For the first time in 5 years i went for a ride on my bike and it felt wonderful.Cant quite get back into my wedding dress which is a goal but am starting to get back into some old clothes and throwing out some fat clothes.
This is the first time i am throwing out clothes as i know i am never going to regain this weight when its gone. I become more positive each day.I am also lucky to have two sleeve buddies who keep me motivated, they are amazing and look great also.
did some measurements this month and i have lost a total of 60cm off my body which amazed me.The odd person is also commenting whih also makes me feel good!!!

Wow what a month. I am eating normally and have no problems so far.Occasionally i feel a bit nauseous after water but thats about it. i have lost 8.7kg and 10.7kg all up counting the two wek prior to surgery.
I am at a bit of a stall but every one tells me to hang in there it will fall off soon.I feel more energetic already and have dropped a size in clothes already.Lucky for me there are two other friends who have had this surgery prior so e=we are sharing clothes.This saves buying stuff that will become to big in a short time!

Well the nerves are kicking in.One week to surgery and im starting to freak a little.The usual thoughts, am i doing the right thing , should i try one more diet, will it really work and last but a biggie, what if i die on the table.!!I have had operations before but they have been necessary, this time i have elected to do this to my self!
My friends that i have told are supportive,and 2 who hve had the vsg have been the best.
I am on the optifast diet at present.So much for starting 2 weeks prior.My body could not focus until this week.Hoping one week is better than none.well 6 sleeps to go
