Seela

you look amazing!

I've been wanting to post a picture here for a year and a half!

hi, sorry, I'm not on here very much anymore. .. I hope you're doing well, it gets easier, I promise! It's been 14 months and I'm doing great... very healthy and all my labs are good... I lost 95 lbs and one of these days I'll kick my ass* into gear and lose the last 15 lbs, lol... it's definitely harder now because I have to really watch my diet and make good choices, but I keep up on it daily. I moved to Florida so I'm not in Chico anymore, but I hope your experience with Simchuck was as great as mine.♡

Thanks everyone. .. happy new year!

Happy new year everyone! I'm still down 95 lbs... did NOT gain over this holiday season... yay me! Really looking forward to 2015 ♡

I was totally addicted to diet pepsi pre surgery. .. I am happy to say I have not had ANY soda of any kind for over a year and since I tend to get addicted to things quickly and easily, soda is something I will honestly never have again. Moderation is not kind to me... all or nothing... but not being a size 20 makes me not miss soda at all!

that's awesome! Ok, so sometimes I went down a size after just a couple of weeks! Once you get down to about a size 14 you will drop a size about every 10 lbs... so... if you have a really good week you could potentially drop a size on even just one week...CRAZY!

Thanks, you too! Wild ride, hu? Lol...

well, if I had the money, I would have plastics, my skin isn't as good as I'd hoped for but far better than most, I am very lucky to have good, elastic skin. When I can I will at the least get my boobs done, they drive me nuts... the rest of it is what it is... since I did this to myself I can't really complain and I can't keep beating myself up over it... I will never walk around in a string bikini but I look damn good in a one piece! Also, my skin seems to get better with time

Size 6 isn't what it used to be... I was a size 6 in high school and I was a lot smaller than I am now, but I was in much better shape too... I'm about 5'5 tall and I would just really love to have something in my life declare me "NORMAL"... lol

Hey, hey! Good to "see" you too... In a nutshell, I sold my business in california, filed for divorce after a lengthy separation, and moved across country to florida, all in a span of 30 days!.... so yeah, lots of stress and now struggling with all this vsg stuff, but it's my 1 year aniversary and the perfect time to get back on track!

I definitely need to do that...

I am one year out today (yay me) and have gone from a size 20 to a size 6 and yet according to my BMI I am still overweight... My original goal was 140 lbs, but at this point I think I would actually look too skinny, so I am altering my, as yet reached, goal to a normal BMI range. If I was in the middle of my normal range I think I would look emaciated, so I'll settle for just reaching the normal range.

Hi all! It's been awhile since I've been here, but I had my surgery one year ago today and I wouldn't have been able to get through it without all of the support I received here. I started out a year ago at 250 lbs, size 20 and a year after VSG I am 155 lbs and a size 6!

Forgot to log on Monday... Monday's weight 151.6. I driving cross country from California to Florida starting Thursday and may still be on the road next Monday. I'll post again when I can. Things are really hard right now, eating out every single meal due to moving... I really can't wait to get settled and back to a normal and healthy routine.
