Today is my 50th day post surgery! I'm happy with my journey so far! Learning a lot along the way!

Using KG's is so much more appealing than pounds due to the smaller "looking" numbers. I caught myself saying, "ha! this goal is totally doable."

VSG is clearly not a magic pill that makes you skinny over night. I used to think it was a cliche pre-op, but it really is JUST a tool which will work, but only if you work with it in return.

Week six has been a struggle. Mental hunger. I'm finding my sleeve to not preventing me from eating just about anything. Also I could be grazing all day if I wanted to. I now measure my food, but it doesnt help. but it's scary to think even after this procedure,If I could, I would.

Did you think it would stop you from choosing what and when to eat? That's not how it works, unfortunately.
It's hard, but you can do it. Make sure what you're eating is mostly protien, as that keeps you fuller longer. Also, I ate evert 2 hours on a schedule for well over a year. That helps, and you're not really grazing doing that, just eating small meals through out the day. Now I eat every 3 hours. I'm at goal and have been for over a year, so it's worked for me.

Thanks @Babbs! I needed to hear this. I just thought I would come out having a real aversion to food. But in a way I'm thankful and blessed not have anything extreme of the sort. It's all about self-control. I've realized that now. I am having smaller meals, with snacks scheduling water in between to meet my goals. It's all about protein. AND some fiber. I've learned from an episode with constipation to not solely rely on just protein.

Lost my first 25 pounds from my Highest weight!!!!! Yay! excited.

I'm two days away from surgery and it's been a rollercoaster of emotions. I worry, I'm excited, I feel brave, I am super nervous but I'm keeping it all together. A new life, where I look and feel better, where I can do so much more than I am able to is the goal, and I'm not letting my fears get in the way of that.

Checked the scale, and I've lost 5 pounds! Yay! I've been on low carbs. Soon I'll be on my liquid diet. I can't wait. Feels great.

Disappointment. My work is demanding and just when I put in my leave, it turns out there is another work "emergency" that sets me back for another week. I'm getting anxious about scheduling for another surgery date.

Thanks for all the comments. I thought Id decide to just take care of it, so that I could not only have a peace of mind, but also get a real chance at resting and recuperating from the surgery without any interruptions or worries. Furthermore, In my line of work, theres plenty of blame to go around. Great work but all of that End of the year bs. Going Forward, I will definitely put myself first. After all, I'm all that I have. Thanks again.
