Just wanted to post this for people considering vsg. When I was doing my research I saw that over and over people said it was the best decision they ever made. This is so true!!! My surgery was a breeze, recovery was great, liquids and mushies suck...but then at 4 weeks i could eat almost anything. At 20 weeks the weight just keeps coming off, and for the first time in my life I don't feel deprived. I'm NOT on a diet. this is teh lifestyle change everyone has been talking about. With the weightloss came the insentive to get my but off the couch and start running. I get up 5 days a week at 5:30 to do an hour of running or walking everyday. That in itself is a miracle!! Just believe that what people say is true, we can't all be wrong and do what you know is best for you. I started Jan 18 size 24 and am now a comfortable size 16. just 6 lbs left to onderland!! Will have to post some pics of the new me.

Hugs to all!

Great news, another successful journey in the making...........I feel like you, this isn't a diet just a change in eating right. I wish I could get into the exercise routine, I still have a big problem there. I just can't seem to move enough. Good for you to do that 5 days a week.
Keep up the good job you are doing. You will be in onderland soon and at goal real soon too.

Congrats! You have just motivated me to get my arse out of bed at 5:30 too! I find I'm waking up earlier and earlier, so may as well make use of that time :)

That's awesome!! I'm adding yu to my list you are #7 of people who see me up early morning and decided to do the same. On days when I'd rather just sleep in I think of these people, some who are now running circles around me and it motivate me to keep going! I just got back from my 1st day of weight training. I'm using the Body Rx book and I really like it.

Hugs!
