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.

Surgery date 3/20/2017

5'7 female

HW: 305lbs

CW: 208lbs

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
