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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
