100 lbs!

[sasicas 194]

Well it has been just over 8 months since I was sleeved. I cannot believe how much weight I have lost! As of today I have lost exactly 100 lbs since the beginning of my 2 week liquid diet...down to the ounce! That puts me 10 lbs below my goal and sitting at 140.8 lbs! I went from wearing a tight 20 size and 1x shirt down to a 4/6 and size small! I did my measurements a few days ago and has lost a grand total of 100 3/4 inches off my body!! NEVER did I picture myself wearing these sizes. I was always very size goal oriented. I really just wanted to wear a size 8 and a large so it amazes me just what the sleeve has done for me :smile1: Even with all the initial issues I am SO glad I had the sleeve done.

Thank you all for all the support you have shown over these last few months and a huge thank you to those that really laid it all out there for me a week before my surgery when I was ready to chicken out!

Well to be perfectly honest I do not exercise, I know, I know, bad girl I did begin exercising a few months ago but am dealing with dizziness so I had to stop. We have no idea why I am so dizzy since my labs look great so far, we could only assume it is from the lack of calories and my body still adjusting even 8 months out.

I am not typical of most VSGers, I don't and never have counted carbs, calories, Protein, etc. I cannot drink Protein shakes and have been unable to do so since surgery so I have to get my Protein from food. I always eat protein first, I fill up on it, then get some veggies or fruit and if there happens to be a room a bite of bread or rice or whatever else I cooked for dinner. I eat every 2-3 hours as well, I simply cannot get enough in if I just ate the normal 3 meals a day. I drink Water, coffee and tea and that is it. I won't go back to sodas. I do eat what I want though, I find allowing myself treats keeps me from feeling deprived and I really just wanted to be normal anyways which is why I went with this surgery

Congrats on exceeding your goal and getting the the Century Club! You look so much healthier at your new weight.

Thank you for sharing your success with us- it is great to see it is possible. Our weights are pretty similar and I hope I can join your success during my eighth month post-surgery. I know my sleeve is working for me, but I still have a nagging fear in the back of my mind that I will never get to goad and seeing your success story soothes my fears.

Congratulations, Sweetie! I remember last spring when you were having so much trouble, back in the hospital, etc. I hope that's all a dim memory to you now. You look so beautiful. Best wishes for getting that dizziness resolved real soon!
