4 Months Out Down 80lbs!!!
Mar 17, 2010
Hello!!Let me just start by saying thank goodness for Dr. Aceves and for the VSG!!! March 21st will be my 4 month anniversary and I am very excited to share that to date I have lost 80 lbs. I started at 267 lbs and am now at 187 lbs, finally under 200 lbs!!!! I have gone from a size 20 to a size 10! Unbelieveable! I continue to workout 5-6 times a week at a high intesity, stay away from soft drinks, nibble here and there on the sweet stuff but not as much as I use to. I also have cut back on crabs drastically. I continue to drink water, take my vitamins, enjoy my protein shakes in the morning, tuna in the afternoon with a few crackers and a light dinner but I always start or end my day at the gym. I went in February to get my physical done with my doctor and she could not believe the amount of weight I had lost. All of my tests came back with flying colors and she wanted to know more about the VSG since she had never heard of it. Needless to say, the sleep apnea has gone, bye, bye, I sleep much better, lower back pain gone and knee pain...so long! I feel great!!
