3 months down and 60 lbs later. I feel like a whole new person. Life has never been so amazing. I seriously doubted my decision the first month. It was the hardest season of my life so far. But so so SO worth it. And I'm no where near where I need to be yet!!!

Hi you look great! I'm almost due for my surgery, just a few days left. Would you mind telling me why you feel the 1st month was so hard? Just so I know what to expect..

Absolutely! I had the sleeve and a hernia repair. The hernia repair was more painful than my sleeve incisions. It felt very tight to swallow for about 10 days. I drank Water constantly even just the tiniest sips at a time so I wouldn't get dehydrated. I had to do 2 weeks of liquids just after my surgery and that was the toughest part. I just wanted to chew something and I really recognized how addicted to food I really was.

Week 3 I had a stall and stayed at the same weight. It was hard but I tried to focus on my clothes and things feeling loose. Now I'm back to losing again and I feel amazing. I truly eat now just because I know I need to not because it tastes good or helps me de-stress. I have more energy and more confidence especially at work. People can noticeably tell and that's a nice confidence booster. I'm on mushy foods for the next 2 weeks and it's going good.

All in all it was hard immediately after but I had great care, good pain meds and tons of love and support from my friends and family. I'm really grateful I did this. It has truly changed my life.

Good luck with your surgery - you'll do awesome!

Well done for you'd hard work. We are of similar height and starting weight. I want to know what was your rate of weight lost per week or month? And what kept you motivated to keep going?

Just interested to know.

This is the breakdown monthly that i kept for the first year post op. I weigh in regularly, because i feel that it keeps me honest. My tastes have changed since vsg, and i love my greens! I also love to run, but i walk minimum of 40 miles a week for work, so i don't run regularly now at this point. I still stick with a cup of food per meal and can stop when i feel satisfied. I only have 1 Protein bar per day....shakes are not regular at all now...their only as needed, if im sick or out running. My food of choice when out is a salad tho....i keep it simple.

Hope this helps!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
