Great job. Congrats!

Great job!

I have been lucky that I have only had one week where I have not lost weight. However, I know a stall is coming at some point. My Nutritionist told me that it will absolutely happen to everyone at one point or another. Stalls (early post op or later) are the Body's natural way to adjust to your new system. Keep at it and you will drop lbs. Good luck!

I started eating fish 6 weeks out and it was easy to get down but Salmon (which I used to love) gives me unholy heartburn for some reason now

Total loser. Drop that fool. You made a Life changing decision that was the best thing you could do for your health. If people can't see that, they are not worth your time. I am lucky that my Wife, kids and close friends have been so supportive. Those that have been judgemental or negative have been dropped from my Life. Best of luck to you!

I threw up blood the day after surgery. Called my Doc and he said if it happened more than once that I should come in. Luckily, it didn't happen again.

Great work. Stay after it!

Everyone is different but I'm six Months post up and I still can't take a big sip of water. Its not painful anymore but still uncomfortable. The few weeks were rough for me but it did get better. Hang in there!

Indeed! Keep at it.

I was miserable the first 48 hours but it has honestly been a breeze for me since then. Hang in there. You'll do well. Good luck!

Not sure why but I am lucky that I have very little loose skin

Congrats! Keep up the great work.

Congrats and good luck! It will change your Life

Not cool and very unfortunate. I know its easier said than done but do what's right for you and tell him to deal with it. I am very lucky that my Wife and Kids were so supportive.

They said it wasn't medically necessary. It is unfortunate but I had it done anyway and don't regret it one bit!

Not drinking while eating and remembering to eat slowly have been the biggest challenges for me. Best of luck!

Congratulations! My Wife has also been tremendously supportive and it has made things so much easier for me. Just keep your eye on the ball, stay focused and the group gatherings will get easier. Good luck!

Congrats! Keep up the good work

They told me it was not “medically necessary” so I did self pay

I’m with Aetna and got denied

Never again. I have accepted the fact that I just can't eat fried food. Fired food, pizza, pasta, beer, etc., brought me the point of being dangerously obese in the first place. Not going back there!

My advice would be to always think “Protein first.” Avoid sugars and carbs as much as possible.

I’m in Cincinnati. I’ve had wonderful experiences with UC Health (they saved my Dad’s Life) but I had my VSG with Dr. Curry at Journeylite Physicians
