I did it! Onederland! 175 lost, 14 months post VSG

Congrats to you too. You can do this, so happy for you for taking that leap (and it really is a leap I think for most of us!) xoxo

Congratulations what a great feeling it must be. 

Thanks, it's an amazingly great feeling :)

You have made it! You are amazing, you did it, great example!! Great advice! You have crossed the line into wonderland, but not wondering if you can do this....you are doing this!!!

CONGRADULATIONS!!

Hugs

Yup, I'm doing it.... like it or not. LOL! Of course, now it's stalled out, but hey, I got an extra week before my stall usually hits so I'm happy :)

 Thank you for posting this Candy!  Sorry I'm just reading it now but I just stumbled across it during a search!  You've really helped to inspire me!  

I am only a little over 5 weeks out and a little frustrated b/c I'm only down 26 lbs and that includes my 9 day pre-op diet :(  I am sticking to less than 800 cals, 60-70 g of protein and approx 30 g of carbs....i have come to accept i am just a slower loser :(  I have 164 lbs to lose and started with a BMI of 55 so I was hoping i'd drop alot of weight right in the beginning like alot of other ppl in my situation.

But reading your post has made me realize that i can do this!! If it takes twice as long as someone else then that is just my journey and as long as i persevere i will succeed!

Thanks again, you are awesome!!! 

You've lost 15 pounds in FIVE weeks? Dude, that's amazing. There is absolutely NOTHING slow about that. I think we have these trumped up images in our head.

You TOTALLY got this.

I'm now down to 189.4 :) at just over 15 months.

Congratulations!!!! and thanks again!
