That's a little over 5lb a week! That's great! Congrats!!!

Hello again! I'm 5 Weeks out from surgery and down 47 pounds including my one week pre-op,liquid diet... Surprisingly (to me) i'm only 60 pounds from my goal weight, something tells me I am going to wind up smaller than I had anticipated.

So back to the story, once upon a time, in a land far away... There was a man... Who wanted to...

Be as thin as all his friend

Turns out he put on a lot of weight living in the closet because he was super depressed. Now he wanted his outside physique to match the new found love for himself...

You guys are sappy.

Shush you. Rest of you, go on with the story... we're listening (nosy straight people, too)...

Shang, best of luck tomorrow!

Hi there, Not gay but all are welcome here..... we are all in the same boat.... and all need each others support. So

Welcome to VSG. and Good luck!

Hi there...yes, gay here. I just had my sleeve done on July 9th, so I'm an extreme newbie. I took two weeks off from work, and I'm getting really tired of sitting at home watching tv and movies. Has anyone else noticed that about every third commercial on tv is for a food product or restaurant? Drives me insane.

Hey Gustavo. Sleeved the 9th too. Yes..the food commercials are on all the time usually followed by WW or Jenny lol

Oh my god, yes! Each commercial break has a food product or restaurant commercial (or WW/Jenny), a car commercial, or a commercial for some type of entertainment: movie, tv show, video game. During the day, they'll throw in a cleaning product too.

I know it's mental hunger, or "head hunger" or whatever the term for it is, but I really want some macaroni & cheese.

Mmmmm... I could go for some macaroni and cheese (I won't, but I could) lol....
