Hi, your letter was very informative. i am investigating getting a VSG and found your letter very interesting . a lot of the things i guess i didn't really think of happening. i do know a friend that had surgery and was very unhappy that she started to drink heavily and needed an intervention ! it is quiet scary to think that you trade one habit for another. you seem to have a great plan started, i wish you the best on your journey. i also don't see the hair loss in your picture, you look lovely.
My 2020 Goals:
- Go to Williamsburg in April and ride the heck out of some rollercoasters
- Fit into the size 20 dress I bought for my brothers wedding in March
- Reinforce positive changes with "I can" statements rather than problem focused statements ex. I can choose to say no , I can walk 10000 steps
- Consistently go to the gym 3 days a week, increasing to 4 and then 5 once they are habits
- Meet with personal trainer and nurse monthly for accountability (perk of my gym membership)
- Finally convince my husband to let me have a damn dog.
- Walk circles around my husband.
How are you drinking? Normal-size drinks? Or teeny sips? Smaller sips can help.
I'd also suggest trying different temperatures. Hot, cold, room temperature. Some people have better luck with warm water (or broth or tea) sitting in their stomach.

So tell me about your goals and what's your time frame!! Spread Kindness like glitter and be nice to people LezetteChristineMua
I am scheduled to have gastric sleeve surgery in March but I just found out that I need to have a hysterectomy and they are wanting to do it in February. I was wondering if you knew how long or if I would have to put of my gastric surgery?
Weight loss often isn't linear even when we do all of the right things. Small, daily and consistent actions lead up to results in the end. A few days of poor choices won't undo a year of concentrated effort. Stay the course and you will see patterns emerge and yes, fantastic results when the fat has to let go because of all those combined actions day after day.
I am 6 days out and I notice that every time I try to drink I get massive gas bubble that comes up like I took in too much air. Am I doing something wrong or is this common? Thanks!
Try different temperatures. Some people have better luck with warm or hot liquids as opposed to cold or room temp. See what your sleeve can handle!
