I start my fasting at 7:30pm until 11:30am. I’m in bed by 9 - 9:30. I have pork rinds (zero calories) as a snack and Coke Zero . For lunch I will have a chicken salad or regular salad and a sensible dinner. I have been loosing 2 to 3 pounds a week. Going thru that stall I was sure the VSG didn’t work but once i read intermittent fasting helps I decided to try it and it worked!

I had my surgery 6/8 as well and everything went well I spent two days in the hospital because I wasn’t taking in enough liquid. The first week out the weight was falling off I was down 17.5lbs fast forward to last week and I gain two pounds. What is going on? I feel like did my surgery not work? Why am I gaining weight? On top of that here’s a list of things I’ve experienced after surgery. Burning in my lower abdomen from the blood thinner shot, gas and burping, weird stomach noises, itchy incisions?, a yeast infection from the meds they gave me in the hospital?oh and did I mention WEIGHT GAIN. The struggles are real. Can someone shed some light on the weight gain?

I had mine on Tuesday June 9th

I’m so disappointed.. I was Approved and scheduled for 3/27 and was cancelled the day after I completed pre-op?due to COVID-19 I wanted to cry. I haven’t been rescheduled yet because of the pandemic. It’s so close but yet so far.. I had to process my feeling, I was kinda depressed about it but I know it will happen.. just wanted to share

So I get a call from my Patient Coordinator stating that because I was so easy to work with (wonder what that means...lol) my name was being added to the new surgery schedule first and if 5/21 would work for me? Sure. I am just going to go into this with an open mind and hardened heart (for my feelings). So...5/21 it is!
It's MY time!

You’re absolutely right @StarMonroe
This is not no, just not now. I’ve told so many others this and I’ll share it with you. My own surgery was delayed for almost two months once it had been scheduled. I was devastated at first but used that time to get even more prepared. Your time is coming! Hope you and yours and safe and healthy in these uncertain times. ❤️
