Hopefully this works. I just posted an album of me with before photos and progress along the way.
I doubt I could ever fully describe how incredible this past year has been. My surgiversary will be on
March 7th. I started my pre-op diet 2 weeks before at 286.2 lbs; as of this morning I now weigh 142.8 lbs.
I really can't believe it myself. I am a Lapband revision and was told that I should expect to lose slower
because of that. My hope was that at 1 year I would have lost 120 lbs or 10 lbs a month.
VST has been a vital contributor to my success - both in reading the forums before surgery, after and
hoping to contribute along the way (though I admit I have not been on near as much as in those early days).
Many thanks to all of the wonderful members who have posted and shared your journeys, tips, recipes and challenges.
To those of you considering VSG I encourage you to read through the many forums here, as I did. In one sentence I
can tell you that this is the best thing I ever did for myself!
To those of you in the first month after VSG - hang in there, the first month was the hardest - it gets better and better.
