:thumbup1:Hi everyone! Since my VSG surgery on December 30th I have been busy losing weight and starting back to school. Tomorrow my stitches come out and I have lost 15 Lbs. since the DOS. I feel great and I am NEVER HUNGRY. What a big relief that is. I am now like one of the people I used to hear about who eat to live. It is a HUGE relief let me tell you as I have been consumed with hunger and thoughts of food. Everyday I step on the scale I have lost more weight. I feel fantastic!The only difference is that I am a little more emotional...i am unable to eat emotionally any longer. I go through the motions ...walk to fridge, open it, think of it, just never do it anymore. I guess this is the real me

Congrats on your success thus far, you're doing great. I had to find other coping methods when I was super stressed out, and emotional. I played lots of online games, and wrote my husband tons of emails since he was in Afghanistan. Good luck and keep rockin' your sleeve.

CONGRATS SWEETIE!! Im back at school my self next week myself........eck.

as far as the food thing as time goes on it get soooo much better to not have food to have control in your life.

Good to hear your update. Sounds like you are doing very well and adjusting to your new life. Keep up the great work. It will all be worth it.

Congrats on your success thus far - sounds like you are doing great!

Do you have any hobbies? Even though my sleeve date isn't until the 27th, I've found that knitting keeps my mind off food & it helps me relax when I'm stressed. And, you can't hold food in your hands if you are knitting!

Glad to hear from you. Good that things are going well for you. How was your trip home? Mine was pretty easy. Hope that is the last time I am uncomfortable in an airplane seat.

Wow Kira

I was really starting to worry about you, I had not heard from you and no posts. So sounds like you are doing great! I love the fact that I'm just not hungry. Once in awhile I think about food but I'm not hungry.

How was your trip home, mine was uneventful. 4 hours on the plane and back home. I went back to work today, just a little slower than I was.

I have lost 10lbs so far and I'm thrilled!!

Take care and keep us posted, I was really worried

Bernadette

congrats on your speedy recovery!

Thank you so much for all your valuable insight. I go where you've gone before, on the 23rd. of this month. Can't tell you how comforting your posts are....

thanks & woohoo for you!
