Saturday will be one month since I had VSG surgery.  I am nearing the 40 pounds weight lost since starting pre-surgery diet to date.  I feel much better already even though I am still quite overweight and have a long way to go.  I have started eating more normal foods again which has given me energy again.  This is my first week with any meat and I am in heaven.  My appetite has returned but it is so crazy that I can feel satisified now with so little portions.  My goal for the month is to increase my activity level.  This will probably be a bigger challenge then the liquid diet.  I did buy a bike.  My 4 yr old son loves ridding with me.  I can only handle short distances right now.  I need to walk much more.
