1 Month check-in

 4 weeks ago today I had my VSG here's the stats!

Surgery Weight: 234.4
Today: 211.8

Surgery Waist: 49.75"
Today: 46.5"

Surgery Hip: 50.5"
Today: 49"

I think I have lost much more off my hips but my pani hangs down so much now that it is in my hip measurement.  I can only hope that this tightens up a bit or by the time I'm at goal it will be to my knees!

BTW that's a 20% excess weight loss in one month!  

I know there were a ton of us who were sleeved the same week.  So post away.

WTG!  You were sleeved 10 days after me :)

I didn't lose quite as much, but it seems the average lose between 20-30 lbs.

i was sleeved on 3/6/2012 also!!!!!!!!!!

I had my surgery a week after you and that weight loss seems about right. Best diet I have ever been on. What kind of foods are you eating?

 Right now a lot of beans and cheese.  I also eat ground sirloing chili run through the blender.  I put greek yogurt in everything I can think of including the beans and chili. SF jams in my greek yogurt. Eggs and more eggs.  Sometimes cottage cheese but I really don't like it.  

Today I'm going to try a turkey meatball with some tomato sauce on it.  Homeade tomato sauce so no added sugar.

I also have my one protein shake a day.  I'm still not doing well on protein.  If I get 50g a day I'm doing good.  I'm also only averaging 400 calories a day.  Right now I'm sick so that is decreased a lot more.  I'm only focusing on my fluids.  Which I've been able to consistently keep at 60oz.

You guys are making me excited about my surgery on May 7th!! 

2 weeks before surgery  325lbs

Day of surgery                  304lbs

Today                                 275lbs

 50lbs in 6 weeks!!!

          

 29 lbs since surgery is GREAT!  Keep up the good work.  When does your surgeon let you go on "regular" food.  Technically mine does it at 4 weeks but I don't meet with him until Friday so I'm going to wait until then.  I don't mind as the mushy food stage hasn't been that rough I don't think.

 I actually had steak last night!  About 2oz or so with mushrooms and onions.  Cut it up real thin and chewed the hell out of it.   I started eating fish 2 weeks ago and that has worked out great.  I found a great pancake recipe on EggFace...ricotta cheese, lemon pudding mix, pancake mix, egg, torani syrup and bluberries...Awesome! I still try to do 2 shakes a day. I double the scoops so 2x the protein.  Nectars are great because you ge****er and protein in at same time. 

Congrats! Keep it up girlie! You are doing wonderfully!
