I've been extremely dedicated to my workouts and diet again and I think I'm FINALLY off that darn plateau I've been on for the last several months. I'm down another 9 lbs. but I'm so afraid it's going to yo-yo right back on. Totally revamped my diet and counting every single think I eat, drink, etc. Best part of all of this is that I've found more inner strength and I'm pushing myself harder because I know I can do it. I ran for the first time today since high school. So weird to think that it's been THAT long since I ran! Best part is that I could actually do it, sad part is that I had forgotten how to run! So anyway, that is all. I just realized I hadn't posted for a while hope everyone is doing great!

That's so wonderful!!! I don't think at this point I could run to save my life! haha! You look great in your profile before & after pics! Can't believe you've lost 200 lbs in 6 months!! Can you even believe it when you look in the mirror?? That's so awesome! God bless you!!

I do remember now reading a post of yours & that you had Dr. Carlin. I met him recently & I would have loved for him to do my surgery but I was so turned off by my experience at HF that I'm going elsewhere now. Hope the doc at the new hospital will impress me as much as Dr. Carlin did.

Yeah, Dr. Carlin was awesome and although I've felt the office seems to have dropped he ball in areas, he was worth it. I lost 180 by my 1 year, even though being down 200 in 6 months would of been nice! LOL Good luck with your surgery and keep me updated on your progress! God bless!

My respect for Dr. Carlin couldn't out weigh the horrible experience I had at HF, so after much consideration, I made an appt at Beaumont & started the process with them last week. Luckily I won't have to re-do any of the tests I already did thru HF. I will pop in from time to time to let you know how things are moving along but it sounds like I may still be able to have summer surgery, which was my wish.

Sorry I messed up on your weight loss but you're still moving along quite rapidly!

Blessings to you as well!

I am so glad to find another woman on VST who had their sleeve at more than 300 #. I started at 408 and lost 15 before surgery.

June 19th will be three months post-op. I've lost a total of 73 #. It has taken two weeks to lose the last three pounds which is a bit of a let down losing 70 # so quickly.

Thanks for the post.

Great job!, I am glad to see you rededicated. It is so easy to slide back into our old habits isn't it? Tracking is a great way to keep straight. Absolutely, you can do it!!!

I too have been at a stall for the last 3 weeks.. but then ive been laid up with a surgery I wasnt expecting.. so I was really not doing anything.. but back to the grind.. I had still be going to the gym and walking and doing the treadmill. and walking laps.. but now im back to work.. and I see now my weight has dropped 2lbs.. so maybe the stall is over for me.. not sure.. but in any case I was close to 300lbs when I started.. Im almost post op 6mo and im down 95lbs.. so I think that is great.. I cant wait to get to onederland.. im so close I can taste it.. you are doing a fantastic job.. keep up the great work.. I too thought maybe if I change my diet.. but I think it was just because I was idle for awhile.. so I think ive kick started my wt loss again.. im hoping.. have a great journey.
