Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?



Recommended Posts

How's everyone doing? 4/20 and down 57lbs so far!

I overdid it in the sun yesterday at a fest. Even though I was constantly drinking Water and mostly sitting I ended up having to leave because I almost passed out in the 90 degrees. It was my first time out in the sun and heat for an extended amount of time since my surgery. Other than that no issues.

How are all my other April peeps?

Hello April vsg crew. I lost 16 pounds on the pre op diet and had surgery 28 April 16 and have lost 36 pounds for a total of 52 lbs.

I try to not get on the scale as much as that it can be discouraging. I feel like I am getting energy and just see quality of life improvements.

My eating habits are definetly better and I am tracking what I eat, my Water intake has greatly improved as that after surgery I really struggled.

I am really thankful for making this decision to have the surgery.

My secret is a super high starting BMI lol. I am substituting 1 meal per day with a premier shake too which I suspect helps a lot too.

I agree. I get pretty happy when I eat enough to feel 'satisfied' similar to how I used to feel after eating. Then I feel guilty afterwards because I feel like I really overdid it. I have days where my head tells me I'm hungry all the time, and have to really try to talk myself out of it.

Yeah... i can understand how people who have been sleeved for years say that we all have the potential for regain if we don't change our habits... i think if i grazed all day on slider foods o probably could easily reach "normal" calories

I'm happy with the results so far, but I do worry that after the honeymoon is over I may struggle. My biggest issue right now is taking time to eat. Between work and kid activities right now I'm stretched. I rarely sit down, eat, chew slowly, etc. I'm not making bad food choices, but I get sick to my stomach/too full feeling quite often because I'm eating too fast.

The positive, I usually cannot wait to get the gym every day....I went pre-surgery, but it was chore. It's motivating to see my endurance increase and run times decrease :-)

I'm experiencing all of the same things. I'm hungrier and feel like I want to eat more but still can't eat as much as I want to in my head (which is great).

Anyone else hit the dreaded 3 month stall? I've been dancing around the same 2-3 lbs for the last couple of weeks.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
