Hi everyone

I feel like an old G on here I wanted to thank the old member for there support.  Now for the new people looking for information on should they have the operation My new bestiest friend VSG.  All I can tell that person it save my life.  No I have the tool to stop eating, the courage and strength to go to the gym 5 days a week.  I can walk with out pain since losing a hundred and three pound yes I said it 103lbs with only 76 to go I think that might be to much off so I might just go to 200 but from where I was 360lbs this time last summer.  I am so much more connected with my mind and body now I don't live to eat I eat so I can live.  A big difference it not to say I don't have my bad days I do I am human in fact I have not been to the gym in two days because I was hanging out all night the night before in NYC, side bar meet a nice much younger guy I am soon to be 43 he is 27 I think i entered courager zone. PS I look so much younger he thought I was 28.  I am down from size 30/32 tops to 18/20 (1x) and pants from size 26 to now 16/18.  I am so much more confident I speak to men and then get ask for my number.  I plan to have a tummy tuck and breast job in the winter of 2012.  My only complaint is I do miss food let me explain this is a life st lye that you have to listen to your tummy and behave accordingly I never had to do that but I take most food him and share with my adult son.  So take you life into your own hands and take this tool and save you save yourself.  I am no longer taking insulin I was on 4 shots a day, High blood pressure meds, sleeping machine at night and most important I've out lived my father who because of health issues died at 41.  Now I am here for my adult son who is soon graduating from college 2012.  Everyone be blessed and if you were anything like me try this one more time.  Be blessed, Stephanie....

Thanks for sharing Stephanie. Sounds like you are doing great. I agree with you, the sleeve is an amazing tool. It saves and transforms lives.

Keep up the great job and you will be at goal in no time!

Did I share to much lol.. 

i can just read the happiness beaming from you in your words!   You are doing so well!  I know exactly how you feel.  I started last year out in a size 32 jean and 4x tops..now in an XL or 14/16 top..and 16 jeans that are getting loose.  I feel amazing...finally able to enjoy myself and no fear in speaking to people either.  I think it's time for an updated profile pic girl!!

Well said - congrats on loosing the 100 lbs - but more importantly on loosing high blood pressur, sleep apnea, and diabetes and gaining confidence!  Keep rockin that sleeve (and beware those youngins - they're trouble with a capital T!)

No you didn't share too much, LOL. You have so much to be happy and proud of. Sharing is what we do here on OH!

We all know the stuggles and are glad when a lot of health issues get resolved. Those are the best.

Take care,
Brenda

Congrats. I've been following you. You have simliar demographics and are 4 months ahead of me. You have done great.

What is your exercise routine?

I go to the gym 4 days a week now taking an hour long zumba class for 20 weeks 17 left to go just singed up for yoga or Ti chee class.  I found the deals on Groupon .com they help me save mad money so when the Zumba ends I paid 20 dollars for 20 sessions.  My cousin and I are doing it together.  I start running on treadmill yesterday day I ran for 1/2 straight and walked for 30 to.  So I am moving moving moving my body it's easier now with the ponds coming off.    I go partying in the city that's how I meet two guys in one night....Sister girl is having fun...

Well said Steph. Way to go on your journey and hope to be joining you soon.
