July VSGers... How's it going?



Recommended Posts

How is everyone doing from the July group? I had VSG on July 10, started at 346.6. Now I'm at 293.2... Down about 53 pounds. I'm feeling good. I still can't SEE a difference in my physical appearance. Others make positive comments, but I'm not able to see it yet.

How's everyone else doing?

Hey there! Doing well here too. Surgery was July 5th and down 56 lbs total. Finally settling into some sense of normalcy with eating. Have hit the gym a few times in the past three weeks with no issues. I'm down 2-3 sizes depending on the brand and am feeling really good. I think it's probably easier for others to see it before we do. But that's just my opinion. Keep up the good work sounds like you're doing great!

My sleeve was 7-8-13. Heaviest was 340. Today I am 271. So give or take 70 lbs down. Very happy :) Hasn't been a walk in the park for sure but I feel like a different person. 130lbs to go!

I was sleeved on July 8 th. down 56 lbs, SW 255, hit onderland this week! Still have a lot restriction and get my 60g Protein. Exercise 4x week. Skin sagging and losing tons of hair. I'm like the OP, can't see the difference but everyone notices the change. I think it's bc in my head I always looked like this but thought all my photos were bad angles or bad days.

Congrats on onederland!!! I had hoped to get there by Christmas but at 230 today I don't think I can pull off 30 lbs in 2 months. I am down 69.4lbs, 50.8 since my 7/17 surgery.

Hi everyone. I was sleeved July 9, 2013 and have lost 70 pounds. I am trying not to compare myself to others in here because it only makes me feel down. I am happy with my results so far and look forward to feeling better every day. This surgery has been a blessing to me. My weight has been a life long struggle and I have finally got control of it. I will keep following my food plan and I am sure I will continue to get healthier with every passing day. I am so very happy and hopeful.

Hi July Sleevers!

I was sleeved on July 26th and have lost 70 lbs since surgery. Total of 91 lbs since my pre-op diet. I am very happy with my loss but I have noticed in the last month, it has started to slow down. I'm sure the last 28 pounds will take me just as long if not longer to lose than the first 70. That's perfectly ok with me though! :)

      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
