I have research the vsg for about five years, something allows seemed to get in the way. I then decided that maybe its not ment to be. Well a few months ago I realized my body hurts, I mean everything. I couldn't take it anymore. I meet a doctor that I liked and felt like I could trust. Once that happened everything became history. My voyage started Aug 20, 2013. The day before surgery i didnt eat anything just a little water. I got there at 5am preped and all i rembember is laying on the table. I woke up with my mother and fiance where there (waking up to people feels great). First thing I wanted to do was walk, so after a while I did. From liquid to puree to soft foods, my best friend is isopure juice amd water. At My highest weight i was 333 about a month and a half ago. Now I'm 299.4!! It feels great all my sneakers are a little big. I haven't worn anything that doesnt have elastic. Not ready yet. I try and hit the gym three days a week no lifting just treadmill. As of now I don't like the smell or taste of anything, hoping it will get better.

Congratulations! it sounds like you are off to a good start.

Yea, things will get better!

Had the same aversion to smells right after too. Id say it started getting better in the third month. My tastes r still changed tho which is so odd to me. But this is the best thing I've ever done for sure!
