Best decision I ever made



Recommended Posts

On 3/6/2012 I had VSG surgery and yes, it was the best decision I ever made. My life has changed soo much and all for the good.

I exercise every day

I can bend over and tie my shoes

I can cross my legs

I no longer need seat belt extender on airplanes

I can wear heels

I wore a dress for the first time in 8 years 2 weeks ago

I went hiking with my grand kids yesterday and we had to stop for rests because THEY were tired, not me!

I have soo much energy

I feel good about myself again

I went from a size 24-26 to a 12

I fit in a booth at restaurants

I can mow my own grass(dont have to hire someone to do it this year)

I could go on forever about the benefits of this surgery, instead let me just show you

You look so amazing!!! I am only 3 months out but I love my sleeve as well. 67 pounds down in 3 month I would have never been able to do this without my sleeve. Yay you and everyone else on this journey.

Congratulations. I feel the exact same way, never realized I could feel like this and how much I was missing out on due to my size and trying to avoid doing things.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
