I was thinking same think about the $. I really want to push myself to get rid of another 15 pounds. I know it is not like a huge amount but especially for me since I starte off as a "light weight" I find myself calculating the dollar per pound ive lost equation and it is a lot of money it was well spent but I want to do more dangit!

Thinoneday!....

THis was a great post!! Sometimes we rely on our sleeves to do all of the work (myself included) and we end up stalling (me 2 months) because we are no longer making the right choices for ourselves!! Im so glad that you are seeing results by going back to the basics!!! Just goes to show that nutrition is VERY important even with the sleeve!!! Keep it up... Im going right back to my basics and I'll keep you posted... I have about 19lbs to reach goal :D lets do this girl!!!!

I am so happy for you and proud of you! You have really struggled for so long, but kept coming and contributing in this forum... I think sometimes the body just needs a (loooong) break then a good renewed effort really pays off .You are the proof! Congrats!

CONGRATULATIONS!! You must feel on top of the world! WOO HOO!

The one thing that I love love love about our VSG is that it is forever. We get to always have this tool on our side. I know I've stalled plenty of times in the last 9 months, some were due to my body resisting change (i.e. where I do everything right and still don't get the payoff on the scale) and other times I know it's because I'm eating too many carbs or snacking/grazing more than I should. No matter what, this is proof that we always have our forever tool and we can choose to use it at any time. Love that!

Thank you EVERYONE! it's your kind words of encouragement that keep me going. . . it's tough but it's working. . . together we can all do this. . . EVERYONE here is doing so great! Y'all keep up the excellant work!

Coops . . yes, for the first week it was the induction diet, then in week 2 i added fresh fruits. . 2 - 3 pieces a day only though (was getting rather constipated) or you can eat prunes instead of the fresh fruit. . .now with week 3 I'm dropping the eggs in the morning and adding 2/3 cup of any Fiber Cereal. . like Fiber One Original or Bran Flakes. . . .make sure the Cereal is unsweetened though. . I also have included Benefiber powder (strawberry and kiwi) to my Water. . . it's really good, isn't clumpy or messy and it doesn't swell me up or give me major gas. . . good stuff. . . So this is week 3 (I'm half way there) we'll see how this goes. . . I've given myself a bit of a slow down this week, pulled my back muscles and am having a lot of pain. . (more pain then surgery itself) so i was going to start the gym 3 x per week this week, but guess that will be for next week. . . anyhow good luck to you all! and remember "WE ARE THE PRODUCTS OF OUR ACTIONS'

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
