I'm 49, 5'4@ and 151 at this time. Trying to get to 140. At 11 months out it's going really slow. It's rally hard.

So happy to hear from you! I'm glad everything went well! I didn't know that you would be able to walk to the bathroom on your first day. That's great. Please keep us updated.

Please do! I'm very interested in your recovery and all that it entails.

I love it!

Funny, Laura. I'm from Texas to and Gamer is right. It's really a beautiful state. Now, the little town I live in? It's not uncommon to see someone riding a tractor down the road, lol.

Wow! You look GREAT Butter! All of your hard work sure has paid off for you. You should be very proud of yourself.

Arts is right. Just put eggs aside for a month and then try again. The things you can eat will change. As time goes on you'll be able to eat more and more things that you can't in the beginning.

Wow!! You look amazing!!! Congratulations!!

Please keep us updated. Having my knees done is in my future and I'm so interested in your journey.

First I want to say that everyone needs to decide if and who they want to tell in their own way. What works for one person may not work for another. For me, I've told pretty much everyone. I was always the heaviest among my longtime friends after having children. They all saw me fight my weight for years. I walked into a backyard Bar-B-Que 9 months after my surgery and was treated with comments like "OMG! You look like you did in high school!" Of course, made me feel AWESOME!! Family: the comments are, "You look younger and younger each time I see you." Work colleagues: a Partner at my firm helped me decide to have VSG by telling me it was the best thing he ever did for himself when I approached him with questions. I decided to tell everyone at work what I was doing. Some of the females were kind of "catty" in the beginning but now that they see the work that still goes into it, they've started telling me what a good job I've done. Overall, I've had 4 different people consider VSG because of me putting it out there and if i can be the person that helps even one person decide to do what I now consider the best thing I ever did for myself, I'll feel great about it and be there to support them 100%.

Laura, congratulations on your surgiversarry!! You've done an awesome job and I just hope I can be as successful as you have been. I'm sorry your having a rough time with the Holiday season.

Awesome transformation!! Congrats on all your hard work.

Oh, I'm am so sorry to hear this!! Still praying and hoping you get some answers.

This is happening to me too! I have my options set to jump to the last post, but it doesn't.

Ha Ha!! Now that's funny !!

You look absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

Alex, this is happening to me on the mobile app too. On all of my subscribed threads I can't get to the last page. An error message comes up that says "That page doesn't exist" after a certain amount of pages.

Niki, yes that was for you. Lisa, the same for you. I've been reading both of your posts on here and praying for you both. Please keep updating. I just know our Lord is going to turn things around for both of you. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I have also been following this thread and I just wanted to say that you are constantly in my prayers. I can't imagine having this procedure and it being so life altering in such a negative way. I'm so sorry your going through all of the things you've written about and will continue to pray for you. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Are you talking about knee replacement surgery? Because that's what I'm going to need eventually too. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I agree. I don't think its bad. It just might cause more gas. Sent from my iPhone using VST
