It is true that we are more than our struggle with weight. But for 30 years I struggled with being overweight And it wasn't until I had the VSG That I began living again. It took a year for me to lose 100 pounds And today I'm happier than I've ever been in my whole life. I hike and bike and snowshoe and dance and smile and approach people and socialize and entertain. It's been wonderful. My husband I've been married for almost 35 years and we're like honeymooners again. I feel so sorry for all those out there that have had difficulties with their surgery Vomiting pain depression other illnesses. I personally have had no problem whatsoever. I have gained about 15 pounds But that's due to drinking too much wine and alcohol and not doing enough exercising. So my husband I have begun cutting back and were hitting the gym more often. We are getting in shape for a two-week long hiking extravaganza across the country in July. We will start at Arches national Monument, Followed by national reef national Park, Bryce Canyon and then Zion national Park. We plan to hike at least two trails in each place. We will end this hiking extravaganza in Las Vegas Where my husband and I are planning to reinstate our wedding vows for 35th wedding anniversary. Good luck to all of you out there. For those of you struggling I hope that things get better for you And for the rest of you I hope that your as happy as I am

Hell yes! And HELL yes!!!!! Go for it girl!! I am 51 and soon will have my first in a series of cosmetic surgeries an arm lift. I hope to have my whole body done within 3 years. Since my 104lb weight loss I am a different person with different goals and I have no hesitation about making myself look and feel as good as it can. I don't expect perfection, but I do want to feel good in my skin. What's wrong with looking as young as you feel? One only gets one life to lead so do all the things you've been wanting to do or fantasizing about doing. A few weeks ago I cut my hair short and went blond because I've always wanted to and there's no reason NOT to do it. My husband loves it!! Good luck in your journey!!!!

It does pass! I am 11 months post op and have lost 106 lbs. All of us who have struggled with our weight at some point obsess with the numbers on the scale. If you must check the scale do it only once week. You don't have to weigh in to use fitness pal. Keep at it and stop worrying! Your stress about it may be part of what's keeping your weight from moving.

Soooo sorry to hear you are struggling much!! Sounds like food was a big source of comfort to you and you probably nurtured yourself with it. And now you can have any at all... For the moment. But you will!! I'm 11 months post op and so far there's nothing I can't eat. Of course my portions are much much smaller. You will get here too. Just enjoy each day when the scale is showing you've lost weight. Enjoy feeling your belly shrinking and being able to move and breath better, being able to get on the floor and play with your child, and mostly the gift you are giving to your child that you will live longer!
