Happy New Year! 3 + years This Struggle is real!

Hello Family,   I am 3 plus years out of VSG surgery and I am going to tell you frankly it is not easy to maintain. I am stable in my current situation (housing, employment and even reconciled with my husband!) but I realize that if you don't take advantage of that first year of losing you screw yourself!. I am somewhat resentful of my surgical team because they never really was support for me. I didn't eat right I didn't exercise I didn't take advantage because I thought that the weight would

My Surgerversary!

This date last year I was 298 pounds miserable and very depressed but I was excited about what was about to happen. I was in the prep area for my surgery. All sorts of crazy thoughts were going through my mind... Would i survive the surgery? Would it work for me? would I actually lose weight? Would I wake up even? Well here it is a year later and I am happier with myself then I have been in a long time. Of course its not all peaches and cream. I am separated from my husband of 20+ years, I am st

Its been a while

Hello all I know its been a while I had trouble logging into VSG talk for some reason but im here and I have a lot to talk about ..   First, I am living as a single women and its not easy but im managing. So far I have lost 87 pounds which is disappointing because I wanted to lose 100 pounds by my surgerversary. I am still proud of my progress. Despite a very financially stressful summer it was a great summer because I actually looked good in my clothes Yay!!   I am dating but I am not happ

I admit that. Ma

The begining....

I decided to start a blog or web diary about my wieght loss post op with the VSG because while i am home recovering from my surgery which was last Tuesday, I am experiencing a lot of emotions that I need to write down and process.  This journey has been 4 years in the making since I first started considering WLS.  In the early days, I was so uneducated.  I was ignorant and thought it was an easy way out.  I was one of those people ha! When I saw the results of a woman at my job who at the rny I
