April 2019 Surgeries!
My 1 year anniversary was April 15. It did go by fast! I’m not to my goal weight yet, but I’m close! One of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

- April 2019 Surgeries!
I had my VSG on Apr 15...I’m down 48 lbs total, 39 lbs since surgery. I’m still struggling to get in 64 oz of fluids a day, but I’m doing better. I have no issues eating or getting in my protein. I have to keep reminding myself that slow & steady wins the race, but being down 2 clothing sizes (almost 3!) feels great!- April 2019 Surgeries!
Were almost surgery twins! My VGS was on 4/15. My HW was 227, pre-surg 218 and I’m at 198 now (I’m 5’1”). I’ve felt the same way, especially since I was at 199 for 5 days! But I’m down 2 shirt sizes and 1 pant size, so I know I’m losing! Just trying to stay positive...get to start regular foods Monday!- April 2019 Surgeries!
Yes I did! Week 3 I was at the same weight for 4 days, lost a pound and stayed there for another 3 days. I’m averaging about 2 lbs/week, which is excruciating for me, but I have to try and look at the big picture. Stay strong!- April 2019 Surgeries!
We’re surgery twins! I had VSG on 4/15 also. HW 227 SW 218 CW 199 5’1”- April 2019 Surgeries!
I’m 3 1/2 weeks post op VSG Im struggling with my fluids and protein, which I’m sure is why my weight loss has stalled. Ht: 5’1” HW: 227 SW: 218 CW: 204 Very frustrating- April Sleevers
Mine was on the 15th! How are you doing?- April Sleevers
How are you doing? My sleeve was done Apr 15. I’ve had no major issues and am cleared to start my puréed diet Mon!- April 2019 Surgeries!
KateBruin, did they change your medication for your tachycardia? I have it too- April 2019 Surgeries!
Keep in mind that our daily goal is 60-80 grams of protein a day, not 80, so quit stressing yourself out and know that the upper end will come eventually!- April 2019 Surgeries!
Oh my gosh, that’s awful! As a former GERD sufferer, I understand. What did you try and eat?- April 2019 Surgeries!
How long post-op are you? Which food stage are you in? If you’re where you should be, you need to call your doctor; if you jumped in ahead of time, a painful lesson learned, I’m afraid. Hope you feel better soon!- April Sleevers
That was my date! I got a VSG. How are you doing??- April 2019 Surgeries!
We’re almost surgery twins! My surgery was April 15 and I had a VSG. I’m 5’1”, starting weight was 227, day of surgery weight was 216, and my goal weight is 145-150. I hope things are going well for you! I can hardly wait to get to my puréed food stage lol I’m already sick of all my fluids! I haven’t had any issues. How have you done so far?
