Wonderful!

It's the same for me! I love it. Go you!

You look great!

I had to wait six months. It goes by quickly, believe it or not, and helps prepare you.

I can tell you one response that quite a few folks as well as various websites will tell you is the typical answer" every VSG case will be different" or some various form of that statement. What I can tell you is from personal experience I have managed to loose 70 pounds in a little over 3 months. That weight includes my pre surgery diet, I am almost to the size I was in college. Staying with the plan and making sure that you are going to the gym are highly important once you get the release to do so. I know for a fact that if I workout more that my weight loss would be far more substantial. If you search posts you will find people that have lost far more than I have as well as far less. But what I do know is that your physical activity is one of the main reasons that you will go above and beyond what you thought you could do.

Go you! Once I started exercising, the weight has been steadily coming off and my clothes fit so much better.

You made me laugh so hard Thanks haha.

You look great!

Ice helps! I had trouble with water at first and crystal light went down easier (Weird I know but it worked) I was so swollen at first I had a similar time but it does get better. I promise! Thinking of you and hope it gets better soon.

That's great!

I didn't know about this three week stall but I am there right now. I agree that hiding the scale is a good idea. It's hard because I want to know my progress but my clothes are all loose. I already had to do one huge overhaul of my closet and more than half had to be donated!
I am looking forward to more exercise besides just walking. I heard that will help too!

Good luck!

You're going to do wonderfully! I was sleeved 8/8 and the first few days were challenging, but I was up and walking and all of that a few hours after surgery. Now, just short of three weeks post op, I have so much energy it's crazy!

Isn't it a great feeling? I just did my first overhaul of my closet and half of the stuff is being donated. The other stuff I had from when I was smaller and looks even better now! Great job and keep up the good work!

Thank you! Had a little tomato bisque at a restaurant with friends that had some flakes of herbs and little bits of tomato and it went really well! Very excited!

I was a bit miserable for the first 3 days or so then it was much easier! Hang in there!

Yay! enjoy! The first taste of regular food for me was amazing. lol. I missed chewing!

Congratulations! I hated waiting for my approval!

Thank you so much I am going to utilize this as much as needed so thank you for the offer <3

Feel free to message me anytime! It helped for me to have someone to talk to with things that came up after surgery to make sure I wasn't going crazy haha

I am really very excited to feel healthier I really want more energy and Congrats on your success so far really helps with my own nerves

I hear you! I came out of surgery on August 8th, so just a day after you. I can start pureed foods Wednesday the 16th and I am looking forward to it. I am sick of the protein shakes already!
