One of my questions is, when you cook for ur family do they eat what you eat ??? Is it hard to see other people eating a lot more ??

Actually I was disgusted at how much they ate and how quickly. I cook what ever they want but make it more healthy. Not a lot of carbs, more focused on fresh and vegtables. Don't want the family following in my footsteps.

So bring out the cooking godess in you while you stick to VSG diet plan. Use a smaller plate put on top of a regular dinner plate for yourself.

My son is 5 years old, I cook for the both of us and when we go out, I order one entree for us. It's a lifestyle really, you will get used to it.

One thing I noticed was how much less I need to feed everyone now. It was a reality check to how much I was really eating.

This life to a healthier way has been a journey. We no longer fry or bread meats and veggies. Process foods are alot less. Sodas are out long ago. The trick is to do things gradually. I never make anyone feel like they have to but both my children and my husband have slimmed down not even knowing they were making an effort. They were never big but better eating couple with a busy schedule full of fun activities has made them very healthy!

The meal was one lean beef patty, 1/4 cup greens and 1/2 baked potato no toppings. I eat the beef and greens. I took a few bites of potato and knew I should quit but thought I need these calories, I lost dinner.< /p>

Not trying to discourage you but please look at those who had complications. Leaks and cut bowel to name a few. I had a cut bowel it is very rare but that rare complication happened to a real person. Please read Iggy's stories of a leak. Be sure that your willing to risk what may happen. I understand wanting to lose but I also know complications are very real.

I am not wanting to discourage you just asking you carefully consider all possibilities.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
