Hello all!
So I had my real first OMG moment.
I went dress shopping for a wedding I'm in, left picture is 2 weeks after surgery, jan 19th and right picture was today! April 12th.
Same dress but 5 sizes smaller.
84 pounds down from
December 27th 2015.
I was blown away by the side by sides. I can't stop looking and smiling at this picture!! This is, by far, the best thing I have ever done for myself. Today...I'm very proud! ????????

My Dr. in Mexico sent me home with a plan focused on 5 small meals/snacks during the day, Protein being a small part of every one. I asked about shakes, and he said no need. I eat my Protein first.
I have lost 32 pounds in 8 weeks. Started at 196. I had a lower BMI so it's going a little slow for me, but I expected that.

a lot will depend on you personally, for example there are a lot of Protein pancake mixes out there, and if your to the point where your running a couple miles or working out heavily shortly thereafter, then you may need those minimal carbs and can sustain burning them along with your diet. But in my case, no way Jose. the closest i have come is half of a half a piece of toast with an egg one morning, or a bite of homefries i had one-day that's about it. other than that strictly Proteins. In my maintenance stages sure it might be entirely possible to have some kind of natural Kashi like cereal i suppose, oh i actually used to allow myself 1/4 cup of regular cheerios for breakfast, but now maybe once a month if that. in the summer i can see doing that more as a cold breakfast seems better. But I know if i had a waffle, even the best multigrain etc waffle on the market is not good for you, i would probably stop my weight loss temporarily for a few days and im not doing this whole thing for fun lol
Good luck.

I was pretty MIA in the first couple months post-op, just re-adapting to life. The surgery definitely throws off all your old routines and changes your priorities. It wasn't until I was mostly recovered and settled back into my new routine that I came back here regularly.

My 50th birthday present to me... VSG in Mexico with Dr Perez. Started 196, 5'9". BIM 30 ish? 10 days out, down 18 pounds. It was a great experience,

I've been eating to the point of exploding this past week to get my weight up. I know... it feels stupid. I guess all I can say is you are not alone. Bon Appetite!
