The point about your height and weight in at surgery date is key. I'm 6 feet tall and weighed 342 on Dec 13, date of surgery. This morning I was 294.8 pounds. That is 47 pounds in 30 days. But I have followed the diet closely and walk every day. Even have started light running and lifting in the last two weeks. I have a teenage son who is a QB and I catch passes for him almost nightly so I likely get more activity than most folks 1 month out...
The great news for you is you are headed in the right direction! Losing 40 over 5 months beats the tar out of gaining 1 more over any period of time. Keep at it!

Great job! Keep it up, your inspiring to a newbie like me. Your about 1 month ahead of me.

I don't regret it either. I am excited every day about! Here is to all of us, longer, healther, happier lives!

Welcome and congratulations on your decision. I was sleeved on Dec. 6 so I'm not too far ahead of you as far as post op. I don't regret any decisions I've made and I know that this was what I needed to save my life and my future with my family. I plan on enjoying my grandchildren and the great grandchildren after that.

I just weighed for week number four post op and I only lost .6 pounds for the week. I'm kind of bummed but somebody else told me I was probably still dealing with recovery. Has anyone else had this issue or should I be worried?

I am from Wichita and will be having surgery on January 17th with Dr. Hoehn at KC Bariatric Center.

Thought I would do a shout out to all Kansas sleevers so we can help each other out during our VSG Journey. My name is Laurie...will be 50 on the 8th...hubby, 2 kids, live in SE KS but travel to KC each week at the beginning of the week for work. Will be sleeved by Dr. Kowalski at KC Bariatric Center in Lenexa. Self Pay. Very excited. How is everyone holding up and are you surving the heat?
