Congrats!! To new beginnings...

I had a huge nsv this week i hit the 170s!! havnt seen that for 10 years or so, so i decided to go shopping for new cloths. I exchanged one problem or another! Before I hated shopping because nothing fit and i felt fat to I liked everything and can't afforded all of it. . I'm wearing a size 10/12 and a medium shirt now. I did a little happy dance in the dressing room.

You guys ALL rock!! I love this group! So supportive and funny. Thanks everyone!!
Me 'n my weed.

Congrats - sure beats the hell out of dressing and everything is too TIGHT.
And don't take too much of the "good weed" either

Couldn't help but to do a double take and laugh at "good weed"... I knew it was a typo!!! Congrats and I'm happy for!!! Yes it is a great feeling I'm only 2 weeks post op and I'm already almost 2 full sizes down!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

Ok Oct 24th will be 3 months for me I am down 50# down 6 sizes and ready to take on the world. It has been hard and have had a 3wk stall walking daily on a good day I get 80gr of Protein on a really bad day 24. And there have been some bad days. Today I decided to take it up a notch I joined a gym worked out 30min. And felt great. If you are less than 2mnths out and frustrated and tired give it a chance it does get better. One day at a time. Be blessed and stay focused.

Before and in the red after

I may always be a fattie (at least at heart). This made me want to immediately find and try Power Crunch. lol

Yes He is.
Keep up the good work.

You might have noticed how these overly sensitive perfect people on here tried to rip me a new one becuz I said I had my 1st drink @ 3 weeks..and I will say again I had my cocktails already..worked out next day..no weight gain..5 weeks out and still have my cocktails and lost 13 lbs from week 3 to week 5..I say do you! Sip slow and I'll suggest u have something on the rocks!! These people on here can be so judgmental I'm not peeping thru your window when u take a bite of a ham sandwich b4 u reach 6 weeks so don't a girl and her cocktails....POW! And in that order...drops the mic!!

Water is boring and I was asking seriously so if you have nothing to add then don't. I am a little over 3 weeks post op. and I am having my annual party at my tiki bar next week.

I don't think it is everyone coming down on someone necessarily. It is shock and surprise. Is being overweight, even slightly a medical problem or is it a beauty issue? We spend a lot of time in this forum discussing health-related issues, feeling better, overcoming challenges, etc. I don't think we have seen anyone who (based on their nickname and lower weight) "appears" to be all about physical appearance. I may be wrong. We are just very surprised based on our frames of understanding.

I posted the TOP TEN things that were the biggest parts of my journey on today's blog; plus two passport photos taken a year apart...even if you don't read the blog, these photos say it all! I wanted to thank Alex and all the people on the VST forum who have followed my year long journey on www.queenofcrop.com; you have been an inspiration to me every step of the way!
Mahalo, thank you, Dankuwel, etc....

Surgery went well yesterday. Only nausea was in the recovery room. Morphine PCA made it a lot easier. Had leak test this am, tasted like how lemon pledge smells. Not gritty though. Thinking of all the great ppl here getting sleeved today and this month. This is our season of hope. Feels like an early Christmas present. Best of luck. Jello for lunch, yeah!
