21 days and counting!



Recommended Posts

So... It's been 21 days since my VSG surgery. I feel absolutely terrific! 24.5 lbs lost so far! Currently losing about 1/2 lb/day... No complaints at all! I fill up with 4oz of mushy food and never feel hungry! Best of all, I'm sleeping better since my obstructive sleep apnea is already greatly improved, I have much more energy, my joint pains are practically gone, and I already feel 10 years younger!

My only regret so far is that I didn't do this sooner!

Congratulations! Tomorrow is my 21st day and I'm feeling good too. I don't have the same results you have, but I'm pleased and if the trend continues, I'll be satisfied. I like this tool!

We all lose at different rates, but the most important thing is not to get discouraged!

Actually slower weight loss is much more healthier... It's taken us years to put the weight on, so a few months to lose it is nothing in the grand scheme of things!

Hang in there!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
