Had my surgery on 9/25/13, (so really 4 months/1 week post op) and I am down 61lbs! I have never regretted my decision to have VSG! Don't get me wrong, I have struggles like everybody else, head hunger, stalls, food issues but no one said this was going to be easy. I just take it one day at a time, one pound at a time and do the best that I can. Love my sleeve!!

Stats:

Height: 5'1

Pre-op/starting weight: 238

Surgery weight: 222

Current weight: 177

You look fabulous!!! Can you give us a little insight as to what you're doing? Calories, carbs, & exercise?

Sure. I eat 700-850 calories a day, keep my carbs count at 40-50 grams, protein 60 grams and try to keep my sugar down to 40 grams a day. I am working on my daily water intake which is currently 48 oz a day and try to get up to 60oz. I exercise 3-4 days a week, I try to get At least 1 high protein shake in a day.

Really try to get in those protein shakes! I am starting to have significant hair loss and my doctor told me I got to make sure to get that protein in.

I am losing slower than others but I am fine with it. Slow and steady wins the race!

Good luck to you and enjoy the journey!

You look amazing!!

You look wonderful !

Great job! You look great!
