African American vsgers!

  • Popular Post

Hey guys I saw a thread from 2011 that I wanted to continue. I love all of my vsgers but as we know african american women tend to carry weight differently. I would love to follow you ladies on your journey and for us all to support each other.

I was sleeved on September 5th so I'm a week out. I'm doing good so far and feeling better everyday. I stayed at the hospital 3 days mostly because they discovered my allergy to morphine while I was on the pump with a fever and my entire body on fire. But I'm home now and much better. I was just moved to the full liquids stage so I'm pretty happy considering that the liquids stage made me nauseous. I've lost 24 lbs since my surgery so any pain I have is over shadowed by my joy.

Looking forward to hearing from you ladies and seeing some progress pics!

Just wanted to update the thread. Still hitting the gym like I should be. Still not at goal like I wanted to be. Yet, even with that said I'm still enjoying the ride. 20170724_175245.jpg20170724_175239.jpg

I just had my 3 month post op and I am down about 40lbs. I have about 50lbs to go to reach my goal weight. I am doing pretty good overall as I have had no issues post op and can eat whatever I want without issue which is nice. I workout about 5 days a week so that I can keep toning while the weight comes off. My least favorite part is the plateaus but I’m learning to not get as frustrated with them lol
