I can eat normal food but in smaller portions. My only limitations are the ones I have imposed on myself. However, believe it or not I am fighting against an eating disorder. I started to eat only yogurt or liquids only for awhile when food was not sitting well or I couldn't think of what to eat. I am still battling but nut and my wife are helping me try to overcome it.

At my highest weight (Jan of 2012) I weighed 380. When I began pre-op (Mar 1, 2013) I weighed 355. My surgery was March 18th. I now weigh 280. I am 5'8" and 34 years old. My goal is somewhere under 175.

there is a sub forum on this board specifically for those of us with 200+ pounds to lose where y'all will find a lot of inspiration! My highest weight was 360 with a BMI of 60, my weight when I started considering surgery was 335 and my weight on surgery day was 290.. I'm currently at 260 with just over 100 more pounds to go. I too struggled between VSG and RNY and even DS.. but I truly believe that I can do it with the VSG.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
