AVERAGE WEIGHT LOSS ON VSG??

Ahhhh..... not so crazy....

It gets progressively harder as there are many components to the process that need to be sustained.

Many can't can't/don't sustain.......

frisco

average?  average usually for whom?  are you a man? well you will lose a ****load more right quick.Are you super morbid obese? well you will lose a ****load more right quick.   Are you SHORT? well you will lose a ****load more right quick ..Are you SMALL/PETITE FRAMED? well you will lose a ****load more right quick.  

Oh maybe lyour ooking for average weight loss on VSG...when it became legit in Jan 2010....60%  Average eventual weight loss that MUST be proven for a WLS to be considered successful is 50% eventual weight loss. That's it...before it can be become OFFICIALLY recognized. That was in Jan 2010!  in making it legit. That 60% stat says NOTHING whatsoever about an individual VSGr. 

Oh maybe looking for average from a particular surgeons office...well let's see ...IF I go by ALL the people Ive seen from MY surgeon's office...that have posted on OH in the past 5 years...all maybe 6 of us....100-110% is OUR average EWL at 15 months post op.  So I guess average weight loss usually for my surgeons office is 105% 

We're ONLY a tiny fraction representin my surgeons office here tho.  TINY FRACTION. ..... NOTHIN on the hundreds comin outta my surgeon's office in SoCal every year..I don't know nuthin about em .... alls this 105% stat makes me... is one pompous ass to think everyone from my surgeon's office gets to 100+% average eventual weight loss.

How's that for AVERAGE/s ,-) 

I have no idea what is average..who you are or what is "average" for YOU. ...nor does ANYONE else here.  Talk to your surgeon if you want HIS average for YOU, if you have concerns. Getting hungry already...getting hungry period.. is not a symptom VSG eliminates, your surgeon can fix...unless he chopped your head off too right ...never have to "feel" hunger if ya ain't got a brain!! lmao... Can be acid reflux post surgery...common post gastro surgery...on a PPI? Grehlin didn't kick in for me until I was 10 months post op. Grehlin is powerful, significantly reduced w/ VSG... but alas not our only hunger hormone. Insulin, CCK, leptin, cortisol heavier hitters. ..n Losing "ONLY" 11 pounds in 11 days tho ..... is NOT VSGs/your surgeons issue...but YOUR HEADS...glass half empty deal anxiety hittin ya?

your attitude makes all the difference on this NEWJOURNY... expectations are pre-meditated disappointments....lower the bar a tad and be GRATEFUL for second chances to make this right by and "only" for YOU!

Fear panic worry anxiety comparing yourself-not measuring upmost feelings, negative thinking are transitory, not reliable as you enter the hormonal hell phase of VSG....don't depend on em entirely. Kick em to the curb ,-)

Walk, water, ^^protein for post surgical repair , vits n mins, sleep and control that stress (cortisol) Your gonna be ok...strike that...yer gonna be GREAT!!! go get them goals NJ work on them next 5 pounds. Oh crap...ya got the 3 week stall comin up huh..so heads up! Don't freak k  YOUR body just doin its thing making its adjustments! Some more info on stalls n plateaus  blog.

Keep postin and reading NJ...your head in the WLS game....this forum is open 24/7 we never close.  PLEASE PLEASE care to be accountable to YOU everyday. Do the best ya can, trust the process,  ultimately yourself...and never ever give up on your WL goals and dreams for a new and improved YOU no matter how frustratin it gets ,-)

Thank you! thats telling it to me straight..lol. and I very much appreciate everyones input. Ya whats wrong with me? I should be grateful. Thank you Lord I lost 11 lbs. Actually ahell of a lot more. i started this journey when my best friend died at 43 yrs old on August 1st. I was 347 pounds and couldnt walk very far without losing my breathe. i started to log my food and eat healthier,I did cheat sometimes im not gonna lie,but 7months later and my surgery date I weighed in at 301..all on my own! now down to 290 I am very thankful! I know its a head thing with me, thinking im hungary. I had no idea that the ghrehlin would kick in later..I sure hope mine does..lol.and Im gonna talk to the Dr. about ppi cause it maybe the gas..thank you again..This is what I needed to kick my ass!
