4 weeks post VSG update with photos



Recommended Posts

Today makes 4 weeks since my VSG surgery
The "average" is 15-25 in weight loss. I've lost 16 pounds as of today, but most of that weight was in the first two weeks. A stall for the most part this past two weeks. Depressing. But what can I do? I've already had the surgery, I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. And I am working out.

Total weight loss
Preop diet = 23 pounds
Weight loss since surgery=16 pounds
Total weight loss
39 pounds (Since Nov 27)

(Kelle did the best she could with getting full length pics of me today. But the sun was her competition )

The bright side. If I didn't lose another single pound, I still lost 39 pounds I probably wouldnt have without this surgery. I am thankful for that

You're beautiful! Remember, there's a very well-documented 3 week stall that can happen anywhere between 2-4 weeks. Hang in there. It will come off! Congrats on the surgery and losses!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
