So it has been amost 9 months since I had my VGS surgery. and i am down 117 lbs.
May 2010 I was at my heaviest 277lbs... eww I know.
Aug 2010 before my surgery I was 265lbs...still a big number.
Oct 2010 I was down 32.4 lbs
Nov 2010 i was down another 24lbs
Dec 2010-Jan 2011 I am down another 24.8 lbs.
May 2011 i am down 117lbs.
I feel so alive and free. I have no problems breathing when I walk for a long time. I'm full of energy and I honestly haven't been working out. Just all the running around I do all day long has definetly paid off. But I plan to start working out asap to tighten my abs and arms.
The only NEGATIVE thing I have to say about my surgery is that I was losing my hair. My hair seems to be thinning. And I do not believe I was getting the right amount of Protein. I worked to change that.
Next doctor Appointment will be Aug 22nd 2011 and I can not wait until I find out how much more I have lost. I hope to reach my goal of 150lbs. But if not by Aug I will make it there eventually. I can't complain about the 10lbs I am trying to lose now when 117lbs came off effortlessly.
