I know it seems kind of strange, but I'm so stinkin' proud of you ! ! ! Seriously, I know it seems "stalkerish", but I'm seriously proud of you and your rocking that sleeve ! ! !

Tiff I just love you -- it's totally not stalkerish -- I think we're here to support one another and you are the biggest cheerleader here -- love you (and LOVE little sprout!)!!

Congratulations my dear friend!!!! You're so inspiring and doing so darned amazing!! Big hugs to you! I know you'll be at your goal sooner than you think, for you've already blown through most of it and you're barely 8 months out.

Whooohoooo!!!! :cheer2: :cheer2:

Irene, what can I say? you are my sleeve sista!! Love you dearly -- I feel like you and I, along with our other Sept. sleevers have come soooooo far -- it just seems like yesterday when we were posting in pre-op, right?? wow. Big big hugs.

Julie -

You inspire me! I have followed you, watched each of your videos and feel like I have taken this journey with you! SO proud of you and you look healthy and happy! I hope to have the same success as you! I just want to thank you for sharing your journey and story - it is so helpful to those who are pre-surgery and in the middle of their journey too!

Sending my love and continued support your way! Congrats to you!

Do you know what I love best?? My doctor said that he thought I would get down to 100 kilos max (which is 220 lbs.) -- I told him, "No way! I'm getting to normal." He shrugged and said, "okay." I don't think he believed me -- but hell if I'm letting the fat stand in the way! Here I come goal weight!

[Lakelady 2]

Wow thanks for that. I haven't watched many VSG youtube videos so that was really neat. You must be really tall to look like that at 182!

Julie, simply fantastic!! Really inspiring to those of us who are just starting this journey. I cannot imagine how good it feels to have accomplished so much in a short amount of time. Congrats to you!!

[juliarh 35]

Wow thanks for that. I haven't watched many VSG youtube videos so that was really neat. You must be really tall to look like that at 182!

I'm 5'9" -- so not hugely tall, just regular tall --

Hey Juliarh! I just wanted to comment on how GRE8T you look but wanted to tell you someting cute!

Two days ago before you posted this I was just reading all the posts and saw your picture in a reply and thought to myself BOY she really has lost some more weight cuz I could tell in ur picture. Great job. Keep up the good work!
