Had VSG, Gallbladder Removal and Hiatal Hernia Repair 05.10.19. One night in the hospital. Amazed at how little surgical pain there is for me. Most pain was from the gas, which seemed to accumulate in my shoulder blades, but getting better each day. Able to drink more today too. Other than being weary, can't really complain!

Glad to hear it! I didn't have any pain, problems or complications either. It's a life changer!

Save your money! You look great!
But, I understand if you choose otherwise. I want my breasts done lol

OMG! I'm so happy I could dance down the street naked! I FINALLY made it to Onederland today, 5 months post-op sleeve.
I've been stuck in a stall for five weeks, teasing me at 202 and so close but so stuck and I thought I was never going to lose another ounce for a minute or two.
But now I'm finally a LOSER! Yay! So excited! Now I feel like the scale will keep moving and it can go down to meet my goal.
So glad to be in the 100's again!

Organic sweet chicken sausage (80 cal with 13 protein) with spicy mustard. Y.U.M.
One link cut up- surprisingly filling. I’m addicted .

It’s hard to look at these. I can’t wait until I’m onto real food again! I’ve been dreaming of chicken salad.. and of getting to the stage where I can do ricotta bakes.. and maybe even rice-less burrito bowls...

That looks delicious. I love the Dannon light and fit and eat it at least once a day. They do not have a whole lot of flavors at my grocery stores so these little add ins would be very welcome!

Yeah. Here's my "miracle cure":
17g Miralax in morning coffee
2 colace (docusate sodium)
12g whole psyllium husk (Now! brand) in a glass of cinnamon apple spice Celestial Seasonings tea with liquid vanilla stevia
400 mg magnesium citrate pills
lots of dark leafy greens, cruciferous veggies, sulforophane veg
1/2oz-1oz nuts (usually almonds or 1-2tbsp almond butter on GG Brancrisp cracker before bed)
100+ water (unsweetened)
6oz kefir plain fat free
2-4tbsp raw sauerkraut, kimchi, or lactofermented veggies
1/2c Grk yogurt plain fat free
When I do this, I have big fluffy beautiful daily visits to the throne room. When I miss anything in this equation for more than a day or two, I develop issues that are Rosemary's Baby epic.

My surgery is May 2 and I went the absolutely the other way. I started a website and blogs about the surgery and how my life is changing and what I'm learning in this process. It has been very affirming and therapeutic, but I'm also laying it out there and cutting off the nay-sayers at the pass. I know this is excessive for some people, but it is working for me.

Thank you!! Thats awsome.[emoji7] ur doing great! I take more pictures now[emoji23]

I get you! It is a struggle.
Im proud to say i have not tried junk food simply cuz im scared of getting sick. Yes its easy to start eating a lil more and more as days go by. I did get scared once cuz I ate a lil to much and felt like dying. It was enough to keep me away from over eating or bad stuff. But what I do is play with my mind...lol if i crave pizza I make my own coliflower crust pizza..if i crave burgers i make veggie burger for me, pasta ? Butternut squash noodles for me.. my big crave is chips! Ill have like 2 pita chips and crave is done... meal portion/prep is a must for me,always Prepared anywhere I go I carry my stuff. Its the only way to stay focused.
Yes im also scared of honeymoon stage ending which is why i try harder.

Havent been on here for a while, have been on life routine and enjoying the new me! Came to update, help motivate and stay focused.
Current weight 197lbs from 298lbs bfore sleeve surgery. Surgery date:8/16/18
Very happy! And still working on my journey!

Things people forget to tell you:
1. General anesthesia can drop you into depression. Remind yourself that it may not be real. It may be after effects of the meds. You can Google that ****!?
2. Your body has gone through a huge trauma. You’ve been through the equivalent of a massive controlled car wreck. It’s using all of its resources to process and heal. You’re going to feel like a mess, physically and mentally, for a minute.
3. YOU ARE A WARRIOR! Think about this amazing leap you’ve taken to change your life?! That takes Lady Nuggets, my friend!
