Hi all,

I have always been a pretty slow loser. And ive hit a crazy stall this past month. im hoping my 1.5 lb loss is gone forever, but we will see. Ive been feeling a bit discouraged so i put 2 photos together that showed me before, and a current photo 4.5 months out. I still have a llooonngg way to go, my face doesn't seem to wanna give, but im hoping ill lose in my face soon. But wanted to share with you all, my VSG family....hope all is well

omg i am so glad to see this! i am about the same time out and also facing a stall, and feeling very discouraged. my face is a bit thinner but i still wish it would thin out. you look great and i can tell the difference!

You look great! Have you lost all the weight on your ticker post-op?

Awww thank u!! Its been a slower process for me, and sometimes I have to see the comparison side by side. Thanks for the kind words . Most of my weight loss was post surgery. I lost about 7lbs pre -op. Thanks again for the encouragement! hope u both are well!

That's over 10 lbs a month! You are doing awesome! Try to stay positive.

You look absolutely GORGEOUS! Keep up the good work, I am at hospital and hope to be going home today and start my journey!

Juzmee!!! You are looking GREAT!!!!!! Your face looks beautiful! What the hec are you talking about girl?!?!?! This is what I think: sometimes we scrutinize ourselves so much during this process, we miss the forest for the trees! I hope you can see all the wonderful progress you've made. You look beautiful! You will break this stall (me too, I will break mine :-) ) I think you are doing awesome!!!! Congratulations!!!

PS: beautiful family too!!!!

Oh, I have to add one more thing.... you have such gorgeous hair!!!!! I'm so jealous!!!! :-)

Do you take any particular suplements? Have you had any hair loss? Your hair is so shiny, healthy and full! Looks beautiful!

you look sooooo good!!!! :-)

Awww thank guys. you seriously are making me tear up. Because its been so frustrating thru this stall and i sometimes i just don't see it. I am very thankful.I can actually play with my son and walk around Disneyland forever without getting short of breath. For that i am sooo very thankful. Thank you for the sweet words, really they mean so much to me.

Lele: how are you feeling? Hoping you are doing well and that recovery is quick and easy for you. COngrats on your surgery.

Mnbsleeve: thank you so much friend. you really made my heart smile BTW my hair is falling out like crazy!!! IVe always had a lot of hair, so thank goodness for that. But i feel like a dog shedding everywhere i go. I do take Biotin. ive noticed that i still lose a lot of hair when i brush, but its not as much. It was coming out in clumps . It looked like big ol'spiders in my shower. But thank you. I hope my hair stays

love you guys!

Thanks Wishs. i know i need to stay postitive. And stop comparing my weight loss to everyone else. Stalls suck big time. And i just have to keep the faith that i will continue to lose. Even if it is slow

Thank you Sleeve of Steele YOu look amazing

Oh you look so pretty, can't wait to see what a change again at goal. WOW - keep up the great weight loss. Slow loser...ha ha. Work that sleeve!

You look fantastic girl and so happy! You've done amazing, keep us posted on your progress!!!

Haha, I don't think you're a slow loser -- but that's because you're losing at the same rate I have been, and I think I'm doing awesome. :biggrin: Seriously, you look great and there's a MAJOR difference between your two photos, including in your face (I also have a round face and took a while to lose the extra chins LOL). FWIW, I stalled for two months from month six to eight and then started losing again. It can't fail if you keep to your good practices, the sleeve totally works. You're doing great!! :smile1:

PS: My hair still looks like thin wispy crap LOL, I hope it starts to improve one of these days.

jnee... stop the madness girlie. You're doing fantastic weight loss wise, and your photos are ADORABLE. Now show us that smile and WORK IT!!!

awww thank you Ladies.

You all have helped me since the beginning of my journey and im so thankful for all your support and advice. I really do appreciate all of you
