Hi Everyone!!!

I know I have been a bit MIA for awhile but a lot has happened in the last 2 months since I've been on VST. So for those of you who do not know me, I am the group creator, Sarah. I had my sleeve done on 8/26 and as exactly 3 months later I am down a total of 56lbs. In September I started working, then 2 weeks later we got orders saying we were leaving in Nov so I quit lol. Well most of you know how fickle the Army likes to be, my hubby went for training the whole month of October and while he was out there his orders got cancelled and pushed back till January. So Lord only knows when we will actually be moving, but I do know that we are going to Fort Bliss. I know we have been a bit inactive in the group for awhile but I would really like to get some more activity in here. Also I am looking for someone else to co-own the group, so if you are interested send me a PM and we can get you on board! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and you all remembered to nibble nibble, rather than gobble gobble!!! Onward to Christmas (or Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or whatever fantastic winter holiday you prefer ;) I hope everyone is having a safe time, and didn't get trampled too hard on Black Friday :)

Happy Holidays!!

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

I am also at Fort Lewis. Thanks for the post it has been a little quiet here but I just joined two weeks ago. I'm still waiting for my surgery date, the process is so long but well worth the wait. Take care and happy packing to Fort Bliss, TX.

Thanks! I know the pathways program can be a little frustrating, but if you're anything like me, it will seem like it's d....rrraaaaagggginnnnngggg by lol. But once you're actually in that hospital bed, you're like OMG it's finally happening!!! Lol! Best of luck to you!!! Do you have a surgeon yet, or have you just been to the seminar?

      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
