I've been researching for 2 years now. I personally know 8 different people who have gone and are having great success. So, in 21 days it's my turn!!
I'm going to Dr. Almanza in Tijuana.

hi. Everyone is different. During my purée stage I didn't try eggs until 3 months out. I enjoyed making chicken and Beans and puréed them with homemade chicken broth for about 2 weeks . I also made a lot of homemade chili with ground turkey and a few different beans to get my protein in.

I am a sports mom too so I get it... Whatever you are doing keep it up! Again you look GRRREEEAAATTT!!!

I'm sorry I didn't answer your question right. How often I "work out" depends on my schedule and what exactly I'm doing.

Here's a little about me. I coach soccer and I have a farm. My daughter plays soccer. My son plays All Stars baseball, so we are traveling a lot right now..............
On days that I coach soccer, I don't work out at the gym that day because that's 2 hours that I'm drilling, dribbling and kicking balls. I'm not a sideline coach. [emoji23] I coach on Mondays and Thursdays and our games are on Sundays. The season just ended. Thank the Lord! So, Mondays and Thursdays will now be replaced with gym time. No gym on sundays due to baseball.

Every morning, I do farm work. Feeding, watering, cleaning stalls, mending fences, etc. I will shovel manure while racing the clock for some fun "cardio". It can really be a workout! **** is heavy! [emoji23]

On baseball days, I do nothing but just drive, cheer on my son and his team, and breathe.... Well,.... I may yell at a Ref or two. [emoji23]

All other available days, I go to the gym. Nothing I do is consistent or repetitive. I swap up my workouts a lot. Whatever I feel like at the moment needs to be done. I mostly lift weights at the gym,since I get a lot of cardio at home/soccer and because I don't have weights at home. But I do like to get on the Eliptical, so I will skip weights and do that sometimes.

It's really just sporadic and chaotic for me. I have no routine. Just whatever I can do for the moment, that's what I do. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] And don't get me wrong.... I have lazy days, too. [emoji15][emoji52][emoji849][emoji23]

Y'all seriously have me in tears! I am so appreciative of all the sweet posts! Y'all just don't even know what it means! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

Your stomach looks nice and tight. How often do you work out??

Ah hon, in my experience with people who are in grief (no matter the circumstances) who bare all and talk about it, are those who find healing a whole lot quicker! You are AMAZING for doing this. You are not disgusting and there is no more shame. You are a beautifully created soul with a beautifully created body. Great job in taking care of it and congratulations for seeing your worth hon. You are priceless. 😊

I'm bearing my soul and body here. I couldn't be more proud of how my body has changed.
I've lost exactly 70 pounds since my surgery. Today marks exactly 24 weeks ( 6 months ) since my VSG surgery.
There's good, bad and ugly about VSG. A lot of days, I cried and wondered why in the hell I had this surgery, and what in the hell ive done to myself. Throughout this process, I haven't been able to REALLY see the changes. In my mind, I always see a 268 pound fat girl. Granted, I have seen the changes, seen the smaller clothes sizes, but still struggled with my self image in my head. But today that all changed....
I realized today as I was getting dressed that I had on the same exact underwear as the day I took my pre-surgery pictures. Then I realized that today marked 6 months since surgery. So, i decided to take pictures.
I haven't taken pictures in this process because of the absolute shame and disgust I feel towards myself. Shame and disgust are understatement words for how I feel about myself. Until today...
Today, I feel proud. For the first time, I can honestly say that I don't see "that fat girl" in the mirror anymore. It may not be pretty, it will never be perfect, but it's mine, and today I'm owning it, and FINALLY for once in my LIFE, I'm feeling proud.
It's NOT an easy decision to post these photos of me in my underwear. I feel absolutely vulnerable and exposed. Please be kind. It took all the courage I could muster to do this. The current pictures are not the best quality but the best I could take of myself at the moment.
All you new VSG-ers, stay the course and have faith. If you have body image issues as I do, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and you are not alone in the dark!
Much love from me to you all! ️️️
