It's not a cheat, it's a choice.
You do you.

Who has the power to judge you or make decisions for you??

DO what YOU think is best for YOU. Seriously.

Yes touching and agreeing

Yes I feel like there's not enough hours in the day I probably could get 48oz on a good day trying hard but most days I'm like 32oz and I get all the Protein in

I had to do it too and I'm glad I did because right after surgery you do it again and your already use to it so it's a little easier at that point

Its going still on liquids and ccan't wait to be on puree lol even though I did take a little chicken in the can today and chewed it really well my chest is hurting guess I shouldn't have done it but I started at 227 and cw 213 so its been nice so far are you excited

Understandable you will be just fine ????

Gets better day by day I had my sleeve the 13 and my incision is almost done hurting now it's only if I'm bending or trying to lay a certain way but before it was all day getting up walking so it does get better

I have been wondering the same thing as a mother and wife who is still cooking them every meal I can't have but it doesn't stop the want the only thing I do is remind myself that I'm to soon in and I paid a lot for this surgery I don't want to fail it

I am the only one who is surprised when i see old pictures of myself. Everyone else knew how fat I was except me. But I know my family loved me just as much then as they do now. And I have no doubt your family feels the same. Yes, our obese past can be embarrassing, but it's all a part of who we are. Make those photos a part of your motivation and pride in how far you've come!

Did anyone still have gas almost a week after and one of my incisions the biggest one on my right hurts with movement I constantly have to hold something against it I just can't wait till this all gets better they say I'm not getting enough Fluid but I'm trying and with each sip there's pain helpppp

Yesterday marked six months since I had surgery. During that time it has been an interesting journey. Although I tried to prepare myself as much as possible there are still something that I found to be a surprised. However, I still think that having VSG was a good decision for me.
If you are interested below are my numbers:
57% of excess body weight lost
A loss of close to 20 BMI points
97 pounds lost
I do not measure myself, so I cannot tell you how many inches I have lost. Clothing is tricky because sizes are not consistent from brand to brand. And my size is change so often.
I was told during my six month check that I am a success. I do not feel like I am a success yet because I have not reached my weight goal, but I feel like I am on my way and the Lord has enabled me to have success so far.
I recently saw that someone asked on BP, "What do you want to do once you get skinny?" I am not sure. Yes I do. I am going to say what it is and people can just judge I suppose. I would like to get married. I know we bariatric patients we are not supposed to say that. We are suppose to say I want to look better or improve my health. I assume those things will naturally happen as I become the weight I am meant to be, but marriage is another thing. Ha, I can hear it now. Being smaller does not guarantee that you will get married. True, true. There are many slender, beautiful young women that are very much single. But just perhaps I can improve my odds. And if I do not get married at least I am healthier. Go ahead. Tell me I am wrong.
I really would like to be down 150 pounds by years end. I hope I make it and if not we just keep on pushin'.
