For those of you who've secretly wondered why I got the VSG as opposed to just "doing it without help"

This first picture is the amount of food I could eat at one sitting X 4.. Yes, 4 of these plates before I was "full"
The second picture, this is my food for the day (besides broth and sugar free popcicles) and I'm "stuffed"

Thanks for posting the pics!! Have my surgery in 4 days and of course been having doubts. But it’s great to get reminders how this is what I absolutely need to become healthier and lose the weight!! [emoji846]

That's crazy! Nice to get a visual like that. I made something today and in the past would have eater it all in a sitting and then had something else, but now ate 10% of it and was painfully full. I also noticed that my 17 lb dog can eat more than me!

As I have said before, I could eat 8 McDoubles in one sitting.
Now I can only eat one (which isn’t very often).

What were your stats. How much did you weight on surgery, how much are you now? .. I could have eatn 7 or 8 too.. Isn't it crazy how we eat for comfort? How much have you lost since surgery. And .. did you hit a stall? and if so how long did it last?

Hi We share the same surgery date

Lol

How much have you lost since surgery? Have you hit a stall?

I have and it's pissing me off.. Since Dec 26 (my two week) I've got up and down but have only lost about a 1lb, which means that 16 pounds I did lose since surgery was pretty much in the first two weeks post op

Grrr

How many calories are you eating in a day?

When did you weigh 308? On surgery date?

Nice to meet you. What's your name? I'm Joanna

Sent you a PM with lots of details. For folks who also share the date I'm down about 25 lbs from surgery and close to 35 since the pre-op diet started and eating 600 - 1100 calories a day (usually around 800).

      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!!
