Hey everyone, not sure if i mentioned this before but im half egyptian half irish Just wondering if there are others such as myself.

I gained 9 lbs on the bcbs supervised diet...i think it sped the approval up oddly enough

On 11/19/2012 my life was completely changed I have 25 more lbs to my goal of 110!

Thanks love! I wasnt in the loop when they changed the app lol. you look great too!

Thanks! I need to workout more but other then that I love my sleeve <3

Yep, 10 months out, 30 lbs from goal, 3 sizes down. Feeling good

Ty girls! i must admit i need to work out more...but im trying

33 more to go!

I hit a stall since may too! but finally broke yesterday

This mornings picture. losing inches, still the same weight....feeling good

Today marks one year since I had my first appointment with my surgeon. Not knowing what to expect, afraid that I would not get approved, afraid of complications and death, afraid of being stuck in my 215 4'10 frame, and not being able to change. On July 13th was my first appt, and on November 19th, my life totally changed. I went from 215 to now 146. I need to be 120 for my height. I have not been able to follow up with my surgeon because I lost my health insurance. But, VSG has changed my life. Now, mind you, almost a year out I can eat alot more, and if I want to cheat I can. I workout, use my fitness pal, and hold my self accountable. I am by no means perfect. And I dont ever want to be perfect. But I love my new healthy lifestyle. As someone who is a diagnosed binge eater, (I have not binged since October), I like to say that my VSg is my tool. A tool that helps shape my life. I am no longer on a diet. I have created a new way of life. Clean eating, working out and fighting the demon of addiction. I am so thankful for that day one year ago. I am so thankful for having been given a second chance. I still fear weight regain. But I am diligent on keeping track of calories and my activity levels and of course my clean eating. Anyway hope everyone is well and good luck on your journey's

I am not fasting, my surgery was in November. I want to be at or below goal before fasting, I feel I am still healing. to each his own.

Heyyyyyyy! yea i missed you lots Laura! Finished associates degree and started working, its been crazy. Keep in touch love!

Thanks! i still want to lose 30 lbs, i think that will be the most difficult lol
