ok so-----i havebeen away for 6 months!!! i let life get in the way! i am down 63 pounds & im happy with that HOWEVER! i have been at the same weight for 6 weeks!!! i have gotten a new job that i am going non stop for 6 hrs & i joined a gym with a PT! & the weight will not budge! im getting sooo discouraged! i guess i need to come clean & tell you the rest. i have gotten comfortable. by that i mean i have stopped weighing & writing down my food! so i have decided to go back to where i started and regroup! trying really hsrdnotto give up & say F#$@ it! any word of wisdom or advice would be greatly appreciated.

5 weeks post op! 34 pounds down and 12 inches lost! Feeling great. Still can't believe I had it done. I had zero problems and had no pain what so ever. It really has been one of the best decisions of my life! I hope that someone who is contemplating having VSG they read this and it helps with their decision! You can read and read and read and there is a lot of bad stuff out there with all kinds of horror stories! But.... There is also is "success in progress" stories. For the first time in my "diet life" I feel like I'm in control and I am successful!

2 weeks post op today! Doing ok having a hard time adjusting to the"social part" I do fine at home but..... Going bowling with friends and not having a beer or sitting watching everyone having appetizers & then going to family functions and drinking my shakes while everyone else is having a "regular meal" or I tried going out to lunch with my family and 2 restaurants couldn't tell me how or with what ingredient s their soup had ! Jut frustrated on trying to live a normal life! I guess part of my problem is that I did not tell anyone that I had the surgery . I am kind of regretting that now???? UGH! Any advice????

One week out from my surgery! WHOOP WHOOP! Feeling great! I can't believe how I feel . I haven't taken so much as a Tylenol since I left the hospital. I had no pain ( except when they took the drain tube out), only lasted a minute) the full liquid diet has been going good, however I don't think I am going to want anything sweet for a long long long time after I can actually eat something!! Why is all the protein shakes, sugar free stuff all so sickening sweet? Oh we'll I really can't complain. I still can't believe that I've had my surgery and I feel this good I keep pinching myself to make sure it's all real! Here's to hoping that those who are having a rough time will have an easier time. My new favorite THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Had surgery on Monday August 18,2014. All went well I had severe nausea but thankfully it went away by the second day. I was home 2 days later and I am so surprised I have had no pain and the nausea is very little. Just taking it easy walking, drinking, and walking some more!

I'm a week and a half into the full liquid diet! I got a little over confident last week & thought this isn't so bad , well.... This week has been much harder. Thinking about everything I can't have. Cooking dinner for my family & then drinking mine. I did take a couple bites of some things this week . Then feeling completely disgusted with myself for doing so. Has anyone ever had their surgery cancelled due to the liver not small enough?

I am a total "newbie" and I have no idea where to type things in or how to add my story! as you can tell i am not a "techy" type person! I am scheduled for GVS on August 18,2014 YAY! I would love some pointers,tips,suggestions on how to navigate this website? chat? Post? D@#N TECHNOLOGY!
