I'm 5 lbs from normal and 18 lbs from my surgiversery, whether it's possible to get there in that time is up in there in.. Whether it matters? Not a bit! I've lost 135 freaking lbs in just under a year at this point. What's not to be happy about?!

How About An Nsv List For The Post-Op's?!
Just-A-Gem replied to JDHenin's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Let's see.. About 20 lbs ago, I was carried around piggy back for the first time since childhood... All around my house. It was the most amazing feeling ever! 16 lbs ago, I got the courage to post the picture to your left on Facebook! Facial comparison shot: (on the right in each) I can shop for panties at VS.. My bra band size is 32/34, but my cup size is still DDD, so catalog or some other store is still required for bras, but no more LB!! I wear my 4 and 5" heels with EASE!! I can sit on my BF's lap and not ever worry about hurting him. I have lost 4.9' from my hips, waist, and bust alone. My waist is now 27". I have freaking defined collarbones! Not the scary kind, but defined and I love them. I fit into EVERY chair, usually with room to set my purse next to me.. This is sometimes not the case. I think by the time I hit goal and have my plastics, my measurements will be very, VERY close to 36-25-36. Men ask for my number in bars and clubs. I get carded more often. Doors are opened more often. I am 110% more confident at work. -

How Much Have U Lost Since You Were Sleeved?
Just-A-Gem replied to Christina760's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I was sleeved September 2nd, 2011 and I have lost 134.2 lbs thus far. I am 6 lbs from "normal" and 13.2 lbs from goal. While I originally wanted to make this by my surgiversary, now I am satisfied just to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I WILL make it! -
Good luck and God bless to all the new sleevers having their surgeries today NewMe86, Shalon, DallasMomofTwins, Summertymer, and lovey_vsg_nyc!!!!!!!

The awkward moment when your sarcasm is so advanced, people actually think you're stupid...

Waiting on a magical fairy to come fix our tax situation.. And yet, I don't see that happening. You live, you learn. :-(

I've been awake all of 3.5 hours today. Time for cough syrup then back to bed. Ribs are even more sore.

Feeling terrible. My ribs are so sore from these coughing fits and I just want this crud gone. For today, I'll do what I have a little control over, and go back to sleep!

I am not quite 5 months out (about a week and some days away) and I am down 70 lbs as of last Friday. I still have a hard time seeing it.. Can't wait to lose some of my lower belly so I can start really dropping sizes. I know this will be an issue because I've had two vertical c-sections and where before I never stored fat in my belly, after it seems like one of my greatest stores. I still have a goal of 100 lbs lost by my 6 month surgiversary. I know it's a lot before March 2nd, but I just started running again, so there's a chance right? Even if I don't make it to that goal, by that date, I will make it. That's all that matters. I am not quite to the halfway point on my journey, but I'm close. So here are some pictures to document that. The first picture is me and my sleeve sister GardenDiva... Where is she?! The before are from morning of surgery. The progress are from this morning. I just wish that I could see the changes that it seems everyone around me is getting hip to.
