i am exactly like you. vsg on 8/17/11 was 277 and am down to 255 but have plateau'd for about 2-3 days now. trying like crazy to get in my water but having issues. am supposed to have my period soon so maybe that's it? we should keep in touch since we're so on track. i have 3 small kids so that's made 'recovery' pretty challenging.

i'm 37 yrs old, and 3 wks post op tomorrow. was 277, now 254 and have the complete opposite issues as you. maybe we could be of help to eachother. i'm having trouble with the physical side and how much stomach feels and what quantites are normal for what point in time. mentally i am pretty good. really haven't felt deprived or craved but with the weight coming off so fast it's easy to do now. the problem is in a few months when it slows down. i need a game plan lol. i'm using the 'detox' i like to call it, as a good thing. stopped smoking (a newly formed habit from ex hubby stress) and even harder my addiction to diet coke and all pop, really. the no carbonation thing is getting to me a bit but am finding alternatives. i feel like i just have this excess 'energy' (the stuff we used to stuff down w/food) and now it's all come to the surface. i'm trying to let it out & soothe myself by doing things. i'm a do-er and it soothes me knowing i'm being productive. cleaning closets, reorganizing my clothes, picking out new makeup, keeping the house tidy, whatever instead of watching tv and eating at night. maybe that'll help. maybe we could be friends and help each other out.

i had my VSG on 8/17/11, am 37 yrs old w/kids and was 277lbs, down to 255lbs. i'm having the same concerns, no issues, but can't decide if i'm normal full, too full, maybe just gas or what? i've started deli meat, ckn from ckn noodle Soup super chewed up, cooked/mushy veggies & quite a few pretty solid foods. i know that raw veggies, nuts & chips are out for a while as well as caffeine & carbonated things but i feel like i'm maybe not on the right track. just joined this website & you are the first person i've replied to. hopefully we both find what we're looking for lol!
