Almost 11 months out and I am 103lbs lighter. My life has changed in so many positive ways and I am just enjoying the ride. I have so much more energy and I'm excited to continue to try new things. I also wore shorts for the first time in a long time and I've been loving all of the cute summer dresses I've been able to wear. Still getting used to my changing body, but I can't wait to see where I am in a few months from now.

I also had a long stall (about 1 1/2 months) around the 7 month mark but I just kept doing what I was doing and started tracking again and it has now broken. All of a sudden I had a 7 pound weight loss and I'm back to losing. Just stick with it, and you will see the scale move again.

240, didn't hit goal but I'm close.

243.4 today. Thanks!

Starting 249, goal 239. Thanks!

I'm in. Will give my starting stats when I am back in town in a couple of days.

I was 333 on the day of surgery and as of my 5 month mark I was down 82 lbs and at 251. I have been on vacation the last 3 weeks so I won't be able to weigh myself until I am back home in a week to see where I am currently. I had VSG.

252.8. I will be on vacation for a few weeks so I will post when I am back.

I have pretty much been loosing weight evenly throughout my body, however my waist and tummy were where I noticed the weight loss the fastest. my midsection was the last place I gained, so I guess it was to first to shrink.

I weighed in at 253.

I eat tacos about twice a month, and at 8 weeks out you should be able to eat them. I usually make them with ground turkey, lots of veggie, cheese, a light salsa and a little ff sour cream. I don'd eat the shell and it's still delicious.

I don't snack all of the time, but when I am really feeling the hunger these are my go to snacks: Fresh fruit, a cheese stick, small protein shake or smoothie, an egg, yogurt... Basically anything light that doesn't have very high calories. My goal is to not get full, but just eat enough to curb the hunger.

Weigh is 258.8. Thanks.

261.4 yesterday

I'm 70 lbs down and I'm still having a hard time seeing the changes that people say they are seeing when I look in the mirror. However I am feeling lighter and my clothes that I wore before surgery became too big months ago so I am enjoying buying new, smaller sizes.

Congrats!

I'm in. My goal is to exercise 4x per week for 1 hour.

I'm in. Current weight is 263.4, goal weight is 245.

Final weight 264

I am 4 months out from surgery. I didn't have a hernia repair so my discomfort was minimal, mainly just gas pain for a couple of days. I also had a hard time meeting my water and protein goals for a few weeks but my doctor said it was to be expected and soon after I was able to get more in as I healed. Good luck to everyone!

268.8 today. Thanks.

That is so frustrating! I went through a similar situation last year where my insurance covered the procedure, and I began the process. I got to the end of the 6 month diet and had completed all steps and my info was about to be submitted to insurance when my job switched insurance and the procedure was no longer covered. I was beyond bummed after getting that information and I just accepted the fact that I would need to save and put the surgery on the back burner. Fast forward a year and I decided to go to Mexico to have surgery. I had vsg surgery in June and it was the best decision I could have made. Stay positive and know that if you want it bad enough you will be able to find a way to make it work. Good luck!

You look great! I always love seeing before and after pics and celebrating with you guys. I was sleeved 6/20 sw 333, cw 271.

Weight this morning was 271.6

I'm in. cw 282 gw 262
