October 21, 201510 yr That is the way to do it. Would love to become friends with you. Do you mind sending me an email and letting me know what your starting weight was as I do not see it on your profile.
October 21, 201510 yr Congratulations! I was sleeved two days ago and struggle to get 16 oz of fluid in a day, but I hear it gets easier. I can't even imagine the soft foods yet, lol. Let us know how it goes!
October 21, 201510 yr Author That is the way to do it. Would love to become friends with you. Do you mind sending me an email and letting me know what your starting weight was as I do not see it on your profile. My heaviest weight is 386.4, my starting weight when I began the VSG journey was 381.6. I had to do a 3 month supervised weight program bc of my insurance. The day of surgery 10/14/15 I weighed in at 348.1, this morning I weighed in at 332.5. I have a bad habit of weighing in daily. It is what it is. It keeps me on track. Im well aware of stalls but I like seeing the numbers go down!

Let us know how it goes! thank you! It will! Trust me! It was crazy hard my first day/ night/ morning I threw up 4 times! But when I got home I really got the hang of things. & its been so easy!
October 22, 201510 yr Thanks for sharing the numbers with us all. I find is so encouraging to know what weight people started at and how much they have lost. I am so looking forward to my surgery but still have a few months to go before it happens. 33 pounds in 3 months supervised diet was great. I have my 5 visit on Monday. I lost 10 months for the 1st and 2nd visit and 7 last month. I am kind of nervous about what the weight loss will be this month. My Dr didn't give me a goal of how much to lose. He said whatever I can lose I am that much ahead of the game. I wanted to get down to about 307 before surgery but not sure that will happen.
