From Jr. Cheesecake to a rice crispy cake



Recommended Posts

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.

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!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
