Hi! I have had a very good VSG experience so far but I am only down one pound and I am on clear liquids. I was told repeatedly that I would definitely lose between 30 and 40 pounds the first month. Has any one else started slowly like me and still had a great weight loss the first month? Or if this an indication that it's going to be a very slow process. I would appreciate hearing what experiences you've all had after getting off to a slow start. Thanks so much!

My surgery was May 9th in Hyderabad, India where I'm living temporarily due to my husband's job. Great surgeon, very nice clinic. Everything went great and I feel good. I was TERRIFIED before surgery, by the way, but everything has gone much better than I'd expected. I'm sure it will be the same for those of you who are anxious and nervous pre-surgery as well. Good luck to you all!

My surgery was May 9th and I still get cramping too but it's better every day. For some reason warm broth doesn't bother me as much as water though. Neither does apple juice or coconut water. (That's the extent of my diet at this point).

Good luck to you Sophia! My surgery is Thursday and I'm really nervous too, but that's normal. Let us know how it went as soon as you feel well enough to post!
