I love my VSG i can eat anything, but i really am having trouble getting the last 10 pnds off, and its frustrating. your 6 years issue was my last 6-9 months was awful and painful. I could not imagine being pregnant ontop of it.

I was revised back in July as well, I am struggling to get the last 10-15 pounds off you would think after 2.5 years with the lap band I would know how to eat. I had more success loosing weight with the band than I do now. Of course I could not eat anything with the band. What do you find is the difference in the weightloss?

I use my fitness pal to log my food choices and it tells me how many food calories i have eaten and there are so many other VSGr's on there and they are supportive. As for meal plans I have googled VSG meal plans and there are a few hospitals that have posted their sample plans but your nutrionist should have given you one. It gets easier.

Hey Ya'all just wanted to update you since its been two years as of yesterday since I had surgery. Hard to believe two years has gone by. I started out at 273 pre surg and now and I am 170, I was down to 160's but got sick and had to have the fluid removed and gained 15 pounds and now I am struggling to get back down there again, I go next month for another follow up but my doc pretty much is considering me in the "maintence phase". Hoping to be down to MY goal of 150 by next year at this time.

My husband's parents moved from here in Vt. to NC they wanted to retire and were not going to be able to do it since Vt is so expensive for cost of living. And so my husband is an only child and we decided to be closer in case something should happen, they are in their mid 60's and in fair health. Plus we hate the cold bitter winters, we both have lived in Vt our whole lives and want out.

I got my first fill this week so hoping and praying this does it so far so good, but due to the swelling I have restriction and the doc said my port still had a small amount of swelling which I thought for almost 9 weeks was odd, but he said it was normal. He has the Phd not me.

hey all sorry its been so long since I have been on here, but we have decided to move to NC so I have been running around trying to find someone to move our stuff, and telling everyone we are moving. I had my first fill this week and I so needed it. soexcited u and I are bandster buddies as we had surgery the same day.

Sorry I have not been posting but life has been crazy we have decided to move to NC, in 9 weeks so I am running around trying to find people to move our stuff and tell everyone we are moving. I got my first fill this week and I am so glad, I really needed it. I have about 12 more pnds to loose to reach my V-day goal. I am hoping I make it but if I don't then I don't.

I am 8 weeks post op and no fill til Tuesday due to Dr. scheduling and mine. I have had some really bad times of being hungry but what I found was when my tummy said it was hungry I would drink some water to help in between meal times and it would satisfy the hunger. Bandster Hell sucks but we can trick our tummies one way or another. And making sure we get our 60-70 grams of protein.:cursing: Elizabeth

I have both the Wii Fit and EA Active Sports, I am hoping to get the new EA soon. I love them both but I have to agree that I feel it more with the EA Active.

hey all thought I would pop in and say Happy Holidays and hope we all are big loosers after Christmas. Since surgery I have lost 12 pounds, Since Aug. I have lost a total of 37 Pounds. I too am losing slowly, but on average its about 1.8 pounds per week, so I cannot complain. I just have to remember to get more Protein in because now being 4 weeks post op I am feeling hunger, but I am now onto the soft food phase and its much better then the blended. I too really don't see how pple can gain on the mushie I was barely reaching 800 calories per day. But everyone is different. Best Wishes to All and Happy Holidays Elizabeth:thumbup:

I hear you on that one, I am ready for the pudding and shakes too. Clears is getting a little boring even tho I am not really hungry. It does not take much to fill me up either.

Soexcited that is funny, too bad you had to pay out of pocket although I suppose it will make you appreciate your band even more. I cannot believe its finally here. I just know that I am going to be hungry REALLY hungry come 9:45 since I am doing liquids. How are you doing on your liquids.?
