HELLOOOOOO Everyone!!

I am so sorry that I have once again been MIA for a while.

After I made my last update (6 Month Update-Down 115 lbs!!!) I was so busy with the wedding and new job that I didn't log on for close to a month.

Then when I finally tried to access my account I was unable to do so.

I have been going back and forth with the Admin's for the last 1.5 months trying to gain access to VST.

I have TRULY missed all of you guys! (Especially my SO CAL Sleeves Group!!!!)

Now that I have access again I will try to be a lot more active on here like I used to be. :-)

OK, OK, UPDATE TIME!!!

The wedding was absolutely perfect in every way. I will be making a YouTube video on Saturday and I will make sure to put pictures at the end if anyone is interested in checking them out.

My Job has become something that is very fulfilling and I enjoy going in to the office every day. I am so busy some days that I forget to breath but I never forget to get all of my Protein in. ;-)

I am now down 143 #'s at 8.5 months out which is only 7 lbs away from the goal that my Dr. set at 175#'s.

I think that I will be "Comfortable" at the Dr's goal of 175 but I want to let my body stabilize where it is happy. As or right now I really don't know where I am going to end up because this is the smallest I've ever been in my adult life so I cannot say what "Normal' is.

I am still loosing consistently every week so I think that my body is going to go below 175 no problem.

In the last 2.5 months I have seen the most drastic changes in the way that my body looks and fits in to clothes. I see it in my progress pictures; everything is really tightening up.

I FEEL small...Even my harshest critics told me that I look like I am 145ish and guessed Size 8 pants. (Which I laugh at because those number are so foreign to me...lol)

Realistically I am in Large-Medium Shirts from regular department stores and Size 10-11 Pants Depending on the Brand. (5'9")

I have sooooo Much more to talk about that I will address in my video on Saturday so please watch it if you want more of an update.

I'm really looking forward to being active again and can't wait to meet some of the newer users that I've missed since being away!!

Thank you all again for the nice comments on my 6 month update!

Thank you ladies! This is actually an old post and things are still going well. I am now 11 months out and plan to make a long video on YouTube as well as post here at my one year mark.

Just a quick update since this post was made:

I'm now Down 160#'s, weighing in at 165. So I'm at what I'm now calling my personal goal. I look forward to sharing more next month. :)

Congrats on your successful loss. I am right about the same size you were when you started and we also have about the same goal. I hope i do as well as you have. I haven't seen 175# in 18 years.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
