26 months post VSG surgery

And still have as much restriction as I did 2 years ago

I reached normal BMI in 10 months. I'm 5'8" and I've been 145 pounds or under for over 18 months

I just cooked a 4 ounce steak and made 2 heaping spoonfuls of cole slaw. Half of both is still on my plate and I can't take another bite

Now of course I can wait an hour and graze to finish it but instead I'm saving it for dinner

That is very encouraging to me who is less than a month out from surgery. I hope I hit a normal BMI in 10 months. But more importantly is that I'm looking to maintain my weigh loss long term and your post makes me feel confident that it'll happen.

Congratulations on your success!!!! :D

I'm very happy for you and hope at two years out, I'll feel the same amount of restriction I do now.

Blessings,

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
