My personal VSG journey take 2



Recommended Posts

Just had my first month post op visit with my Surgeon and he said Im actually ahead of where he anticipated I would be. He expected a loss of 10% of my excess weight, Im closer to 30% !!!!! He cleared me for all foods and exercise. Im so glad I did this!!!!

I had no issues getting my requirements in. In fact the PA told me to slow down a little bit at first. My surgeon told me yesterday to fit as much Fluid as I can through the pipes!! LOL

Holy cow!!!! Look at you! Un-be-lievable!

Ok so, thanks for a great video, like always. I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering why I hadn't seen an update.

First, I have that same shirt! Lol.

I have also lost family members, and those dreams are truly... unusual, aren't they? I'm not a superstitious person, but there is SOMETHING in those types of dreams.

Thanks, man.

You will hit stalls here and there. I been a little stuck between 247 and 249 lately. Gonna try more calories on the days I work out, I think I might be putting my body into starvation mode.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
