I've lost 112 pounds and have 60 more to go. I feel great, I look great but it's much harder now than in the beginning. I'm so thankful to have my sleeve but I have to eat low carb if I want to continue losing. I hope you are all happy and doing well. [emoji8]

I agree with @@CowgirlJane people are attracted to your positive energy.
Can we agree that children can be brutally honest about your appearance and weight? I was in an elevator when a little girl said " mommy I'm glad your not as big as that" We live in a judgmental world. It's not just children that have comments about weight.
After weight loss:
People look me in the eye. I'm not invisible anymore.
I have more opportunity at work.
People who would not give me the time of day..Now want to be friends..Lol (they don't get to do that)
The opposite sex shows interest.
People have been more helpful.
Women don't like it when I talk to their husband/boy friends..(They have nothing to worry about)
I seem more valued now that I'm an acceptable package. I'm still the same person on the inside.

My anxiety has decreased since vsg in July. Yes food is no longer a coping mechanism but I also feel better physically and am happier overall. I suspect you feeling better overall will help your mental health in the long run. Good luck to you

So we had this dinner in our community for the Fire Department (My hubby is on the department). Anyway I wanted to wear something nice so I went shopping and picked out some Miss Me Skinny Jeans and a super cute top to wear. The sales lady was super supportive and helped me pick the right size of jeans (hey, I'm not in my 20s anymore and I have no idea what all these weird sizes are)
Anyway, I got home with my size 29 jeans and proceeded to do laundry and pick up the house. While folding my step-daughter's clothes I noticed that her skinny jeans from Miss Me are a size 28 and she is a tiny stick figure. I can hardly believe that we are only one size apart in jeans. It sort of blows my mind a little bit. So knowing that I had to go online and do a size comparison and found out that I am now a size 7/8. That is the weirdest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. In my eyes I still feel like I am a size 16/18 but I guess in the world of Miss Me I am a 7/8. Heck, I'll take it any day of the week!
PS - Rocked the party

I have my 7 month check up tomorrow and I'm feeling great. I've lost 92 pounds since surgery and am so thankful for this change in my life. I'm more than halfway to goal and I finally feel like it's attainable. I'm hoping to lose 130 pounds by my one year anniversary. Praise God for this surgery and for my success.

I used to think my goal of losing 180 to 200 lbs was impossible. Now I am down over 100 lbs in less than 7 months it seems like that goal is obtainable. Not only is it obtainable, but I have been able to get here without feeling like I am starving and without trying to kill myself in the gym. I am very hopeful for the future.
Also, I feel mostly normal. I can drink Water pretty fast now which makes it must easier to meet my Water goals each day.

Above is my before and after. Today marks 1 year from when I had my surgery. The decision was a tough one, but I am very thankful that it all worked out for me. This has been a great tool and I am so glad to have it. It felt like forever from starting the process to get approved for the surgery and then BAM! a year flew by. It was hard in the beginning and has I had ups and downs. It was all worth it though and I would not change anything about it.

I wish people would stop acting like self rightous keepers of the internet forum and realize that people do have the right to ask questions. Regardless of how many times they've been asked. If you don't want to weigh in, then move along. The forum wasn't set up for only what you deem to be important discussion in this moment of time. So there's a search function. Well holy hell. That would mean that nobody should ever ask any question ever, anywhere. Because I'm sure all the questions you've ever asked have been answered somewhere on google. Right?!?! Only makes sense...

Jessicacherry3 got a reaction from Lexuskela in I've found two negatives from major weight loss! October 16, 2015

One bad thing I came across this morning was that I don't have any fast food napkins in the center console of my car anymore. My nose was running and I didn't have any Kleenex in my purse. I reached for the usual stash of napkins in my center console and there weren't any! Guess I'll have to put some Kleenex in there for back up ????
