Submitted my paperwork with my surgeon and it is being sent off to my insurance. They gave me a tentative date for 4/20 at 7 AM!!! Both my pre-op appt and hospital registration appointments are set too. Totally stoked and excited and nervous!

Any one else having their surgery and/or tentatively scheduled your sleeve surgery for around 4/20ish? Would love to hear from ya, if so!

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.

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?

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'm starting to be able to eat what feels like pretty decent. Then at the same time, I feel like it's too much in comparison to what things were like in the beginning.

Yeah... food is so much easier to get down than at the beginning.... i just eat normally .. but just smaller portions

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.

Oddly enough i feel like i can eat a horse around when my TOTM is due.... then i eat, and a couple of bites i am satisfied... but the cravings don't seem to ease though... but i have managed to stay away from the chocolate lol which is good

I'm fighting that a great deal lately. Seems like I sit at work and think I'm starving! I can honestly eat THAT much, but I feel like it's a ton.

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.
