IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE I HAD MY SLEEVE AND I A SO HAPPY.  I CAN BARELY REMEMBER MY LIFE AS A OVER WEIGHT NO HOPE IN SIGHT INDIVIDUAL.  NOW I CANT FIND ENOUGH TO DO OR SEE.

I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES, I HAD NO PROBLEMS ATALL FROM DAY 1.  I ONLY PLATUDED ONCE AND WAS BLESSED WITH WONDERFUL SLEEVE SISTERS TO ENCOURAGE ME ALONG THE WAY.

I STARTED OUT AT 207 AND NOW WEIGH 132.  I HAVE BEEN AT 132 FOR A YEAR NOW.  I GAIN A FEW THEN LOSE THEM.  I RECOMMEND THE SLEEVE TO ANYONE WHO HAS LOST CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES.  WHEN A BAG OF POTATOE CHIPS AND A BUCKET OF ICE CREAM  HAS BECOME YOUR BESTFRIEND YOU HAVE HIT ROCK BOTTOM.  TIME FOR A SERIOUS CHANGE WHETHER IT IS WEIGHT WATCHERS OR THE SLEEVE.............CHANGE!!!

LIFE IS GOOD AND I FEEL GREAT.  I RECENTLY HAD A TUMMY TUCK AND FEEL 20 YEARS YOUNGER.  MY ONLY REGRET IS I SHOULD HAVE DONE IT SOONER.

MUCH LOVE TO ALL AND THIS SITE HAS BEEN AWESOME FOR ME.  I WILL POST PICS SOONEST.

 Hard to believe it has been 11 months!!!!  It seems like yesterday I was doubting my sleeve...:)  It has been and continues to be quit the ride.  I remember thinking I will be happy if I could just get into a size 16, then saying I will never get into a size 12.....or thinking this is it ...I'm not gonna lose anymore weight.  All this and more is part of the amazing journey.  At 11 months I can eat lots more and I can see old patterns trying to return but I also see my sleeve intervening constantly.  I have lost 67 pounds total and tons of inches.  I started at 205 and am currently at 138.  I was a size 18/20 more 20 than 18 and am currently a size 8/10 more 10 than 8....:)  I am truly blessed and would recommend the sleeve to anyone!!!  For me the two most important components to my success or should I say my continued success is protein and exercise!!  Put those two things first and you will SUCCEED!!!!!

My 10 month surgiversary and I feel Super!!!  I lost 3 more pounds that I didn't think I would lose so life is good and my sleeve is still working.  I weigh 140 lbs and can't wait to get into the 130"s.  I believe it will happen!  I am wearing a solid 10 and even some of them are lose.  I revised my goal weight to 131 lbs vice 136 because of my height.  The best part of losing the weight other than the obvious health advantages is being able to go shopping in regular stores and they fit.  The fact that the cloths fit means I fit.  I feel normal and that is something I haven't felt in a long time.  I have to tell you all that I haven't been the model patient but I do try.  I pretty much eat what I want but try to do protein first.  I didn't start excercising regularly until my 7th month.  The one thing I do faithfully is take my vitamins.  The Sleeve worked for me and I feel so blessed!!!!

 I weigh 143 lbs, 62 pounds gone, and what a ride it has been.  I have 7 pounds to go and I'm not sure if I will make it.  I barely lost anything this month.  I am eating a lot more and barely exercising so I really can't complain.  The carbs are still my worst enemy and my biggest addiction.  I can eat all the things I could eat before the surgery.  I do stop myself for now but I am worried that in a couple more months will I know when to say when?????  Truth be told, I am so happy with this whole process! I will count all 62 blessing and try to always remember how miserable I was at 205 and no hope.  When people ask what I am doing?  I say flat out I had an operation!!!  It wasn't my will power or exercise plan - it was simply my SLEEVE!!!!!!

April my 8 month surgiversary and my birthday month.  I weigh 145 lbs.  60 pounds gone.  Extremely hard to lose now.  I am eat anything now especially sweets.  I am worried about gaining in the next couple of months.  Life is good and I am between a size 12 and 10.  I look at myself and still can't believe it.  Thinking tummy tuck already...:)

I weigh between 149 and 151 lbs.  I have lost 55 to 57 lbs.  The weight loss is almost at a stand still.  The good news is I am not gaining.......yet.  I feel like I am eating like I use to.  I am not getting enough protein or water in.  This could be part of the problem.  I am walking now that spring is in the air.  I am extremely happy with the results and would do it again in a heart beat.  My best advise for anyone is to realize you have to change your bad habits if you are gonna truly get all you can out of the SLEEVE.  I'm still working on that part.............:)

February 25th was my 6th month anniversary.  I was down 53 lbs.  I lost 4 lbs since my 5 month anniversary.  The weight loss is slowing but my intake is increasing.  I'm still losing and the inches are coming off slowly.  I am truly living my life.  I don't wake up thinking about what I am not going to eat.  Blood work is good and I feel great.  I am in size 12 pants.  Biggest problem for me at this point in my journey is getting the fluids and protein in.  Would I do it again.....ABSOLUTELY!!!

JJanuary marks my 5 month Surgiversary.  I weigh 156lbs and have lost 49lbs.  This month was a blur for me and I wish I could share more about it.  I will say that I could say no to alot of things and didn't benge as much as last month.  I lost my mother on the 21st so from that day after my eating was from nothing to plenty.  I still have not started exercising but have decided once the 6 month honeymoon is over the exercise will probably benefit me more.  I am losing about a pound a week with only one stall to date.  I am wearing a size 14 easily and am very comfortable in them.  I can't imagine myself much smaller but we will see.  My mother paid for my operation so it is important to me to make it work.  She understood me best and knew how important losing weight was for me.  I will be forever grateful for all her love and generosity.

  Happy Holidays to ALL!  I have lost a total of 44lbs.  Every month has its own set of rewards and trails and December was no different.  First off my monthly cycle lasted 2 weeks.  I was constipated and lost more hair than I care to mention.  I can't stress how important taking your vitamins is to VGS success.  I ate more than I should have during the holidays with most of it being CARBS, but guess what I lost a pound anyway.  Life is good and I am hoping to post the big 50 next month!  My VGS Journey is AWESOME!!!!

37lbs lost wanted it to be 40lbs but I'll take it!  This month was full of ups and downs.  I caught the flu, had multiple periods, started lossing my hair and kept overeating in the evenings.  Did great for Thanksgiving but was stressed to the max because my mom caught Pnemonia and has been in the hospital ever since.  Life got so busy I even stop going on OH.
