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! :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
