7 Months Out From VSG



Recommended Posts

Hey there! I had VSG done on 3/21/2017. I have lost just over 100 lbs since surgery which is 80% of my total weight loss goal. Just curious if that seems normal or high for how far out I am.. My surgeon commented that I have lost a lot more than most in that short period of time. Now I am concerned that I am going to lose more than I want to (my goal weight is 160).

HW: 296

SW: 286

CW: 185

GW: 160

Ok, you can compare to me.

5'7 female

HW: 305lbs

So, yeah.. you are 14lbs ahead of me. I eat about 1100 calories a day and haven't started exercising quite yet.

Maybe the gym is what's made the difference. I have been going since 2 weeks after surgery.. I try to go as regular as I can but sometimes life gets in the way and I skip a few weeks. The perspective helps though thank you!!

I went from 296 to 225 so far, its not all about the weight, but the body fat %. You can be adding muscle and losing fat. I had a goal weight of 205 ish in mind, but feel comfortable at 225. Your body will settle into its natural weight after the reset.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
