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

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!

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!

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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
