Good for you!

I'm in the same boat as you. I was scheduled for VSG last May but decided to cancel a week or so before the appointment. My starting weight was also pretty close to yours, at 254. Prior to canceling the surgery I was also on the liquid pre-op diet and doing so well at it that I stuck to that for about 8 or 9 weeks total. My rationale being that I was going to have to be on the liquid diet for a couple of weeks prior to surgery, then for a month or more after the surgery anyway. So, I did the diet without the surgery. It’s been a long road, and I’m sure I would have lost more by now had I went through with the VSG. But without the VSG I can, and do indulge in VSG-no-no’s sometimes. I still want to lose another 30 pounds or so, but I’ll get there.

I hope that you have great success doing this without VSG. It is possible, and you can do this! Good luck!
