10 Month Check In (pics)



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I can't believe that it has been ten months already since my VSG. I have had no complications and have no issues with food. I cannot say one thing that I regret about getting the VSG and would do it again in a heartbeat. I started this journey at 308lbs and am currently 172lbs as of this morning. I have gone from a 3x top to a large and a size 24 pants to a size 10. I went to Hawaii and got to zipline because I was now a weight that I could do it and also biked down the side of a volcano. My sleeve has opened up a new life for me and I thank God every day for seeing me through it. I wish success to all of you as well on your journeys to a new and healthier and happier you! The first picture is a before and after at pre op and at 10 months out. The second picture is of my husband and I in Hawaii, where I was happy enough with myself to get professional photos taken. I can finally admit that I actually love a photo that I'm in, never thought I would say that!

Thanks everyone! Your sweet words keep me going and motivated. SleevyWonder, to answer your question, I really focused on carbs rather than fat count. I made sure to keep my calories while losing around 700-800 a day and never took in more than 45 carbs a day and not exceeding more than 15 carbs at each meal. If I did not exceed 15 carbs at that meal, I did not "bank" them. Say I ate 7 carbs for Breakfast, then for my mid morning snack I could only eat something that had 8 or less carbs. Think of 15 carbs as the button that keeps you from losing weight and that you don't ever want to turn the button on so therefore, never go over 15 carbs. Hope that wasn't too confusing, lol. I tend to ramble and make it more complicated, lol.

      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.
