Hi Everyone!
Long time, no post. I'm almost at the 9 month mark..sorry, the last couple months have been hard! Its like i hit the six month mark and my weight loss slowed. I am currently at 205.6! So I've only lost 3 pounds since my last post in October.
I will admit, I have fallen off the wagon here and there. I dont always eat 5-6 meals a day as my surgeon requested and have slid a little with some carbs. This past month I have began going back to the gym, so i am currently building muscle. Even though I havent lost much on the scale, the inches are definitely coming off. Two months ago I was a snug size 16 jeans, last week I had to buy new size 14 jeans. I am wearing a L/XL shirt, a XL or 14 in dresses and am wearing size 10 shoes from a size 11!
I am going to do a "pouch reset" the day after Christmas because I am making a delicious Turkey and I will not set out a holiday dinner like I did for Easter. I have about another 50-65lbs to go to put me in a healthy BMI. I hope all my sleevers are doing well, and again I'm sorry I disappeared for two months!!!

Month 7 update, its my birthday!
Hey everyone!
Today marks 30 weeks and 1 day post VSG AND today is my BIRTHDAY! I still can't believe where I am with my journey. My goal was to get to #199/ onderland by today, and unfortunately I did not make it to that goal... but I am not sad about it either. This morning I weighed in at 208.8lbs. So its official:
I HAVE LOST 92 LBS IN 7 MONTHS!
It still amazes me to this day what a beautiful journey this is. No its not easy and yes there are struggles, but at the end of the day I refuse to be that 300lb person i was at the beginning of this year!
Thank you everyone for your support, it means the world to me! I'm rooting for all of your success too!

Reading your story was really inspiring. My surgery is scheduled for 1/4/19 & I also have an apron. Since your last post has your apron shrunk more?

Sooooo happy for you and your progress. We now weigh the same—I have plateaued at 208 for a month and a half. Kicking into high gear—I want to get to 199 before the new year. High five my dear!!!!!!

Hi everyone-
What an amazing adventure this has been this far, and its only been 6m and 2 days. I had blood work done two weeks ago and had my results this past week. Great news, I am no longer pre-diabetic and everything is normal except my iron was a little low- my surgeon said its nothing major. I am so happy about that. I have been over the moon with some of my progress and continue to work hard each day. I have lost 10 pant sizes and 10-12 dress sizes. Ive eent down a shoe size and had my rings resized from an 11.25 to a little loose 9! How crazy is that!?
I do have a small set back, I believe I suffer from body dysmorphia, somedays I see my change and others I see the same 300lb person looking back at me- its frustrating. I am continuing to work on that. Its hard. I am proud of everyone and their journeys!
Here are my current stats:

You're doing great. Body dysmorphia happens a lot to people who lose a lot of weight, surgery or not. Hang in there
