I stepped on the scale this morning (as I do each morning) and was thrilled to see a number that I haven't seen in a long, long time -- 198.8 lbs. The truth is, I can't remember the last time I weighed less than 200 lbs, but I have to think is was more than 20 years ago! Needless to say, I am delilghted with this latest number and can hardly believe that I am here only 4 months after surgery. I am still working on being better about taking my Vitamins and exercising, but overall things are going very well. I am amazed at the changes in my body and I am constantly surprised to find bones sticking out where I had forgetten they existed! People have been very positive about the change in my appearance, although I am still selective about who I tell the full story to. Most importantly, I feel great!

To anyone out there considering the VSG - know that it is not the easy way out, but that it does work and will provide you with a tool that is very, very effective. Good luck to anyone out there considering this procedure. I have no regrets and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Best,

Brian

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
