Surgeon said that the sleeve would take care of the first 100-120 for me with little will power. He said anything above that is up to how well I keep to the program. I think any weight loss tool has the ability to help a 400+ pounder get to a healthy weight. What matters is the execution. It doesn't matter if you are getting RNY or VSG or just counting calories, it is ultimately up to the individual to make the commitment and follow the program in order to lose the weight. I am only one week post op right now but hope to reach my goal weight within 18 months.

I am having my one week post op visit tomorrow and want the doc to clear me for full liquids. I haven't had Protein of any sort for over a week. I am having cravings for cream Soups and smoothies. If I have to drink Gatorade and Jello for another week I will probably lose more but I will go insane. Wish me luck!!!

I went to an old fashioned supper club and had a full rack of BBQ Ribs and my wife had a King Cut Prime Rib and we shared. This came with cheesy hashbrowns and a salad bar that included Cold BBQ chicken gizzards. I am so glad that I had this meal now that I am 6 days post op and am on Clear liquids. I really didn't see any gain since I took my bowel prep immediately the next morning. I don't think I "went nuts" I just really wanted to taste some of those things that I am not planning on eating until I reach my goal weight. Jason
