One month (yesterday)

Still grinning!!!! Widely!!! Down to 184 lbs from SW of 208... Help me with the math, I think that is 24 lbs in a month? Still feeling amazing, no trouble at all with water or protein or exercising (lightly) or vites and calcium. Sleeping well, no BM issues, living life and dropping pounds. Food, usually I keep to 6-800 cals, under 40 carbs and 60-80 gr protein (closer to 65 most days). No intolerances apart from this one chicken breast meal I had but I am not going to blame the chicken breast until I make one myself and try it. My incisions look like a cat took a walk on my belly and used it as a scratch pole! Very fine, faint lines. Almost completely invisible now. Why oh why didn't I do this sooner???? I have had not a single buyer's remorse moment and am just happy this whole month. Every day! Feeling like a slave freed. I have gone out to restaurants and enjoyed appropriate meals out with no issues, I am wearing clothes which were previously tight...and have my inner and outer smile on all the time! I am even enjoying food much more than when I just used to shovel it in. Now i really taste everything and just make no compromises on quality - it has to be five star coz I am SOOOO worth it!!!

Life is just simply great now!!!

That's Wonderful!!!!!!!!  I think most have of us have said "why didn't I do this sooner" a few times. 

So happy for you!!

Definately worth it. so glad we didn't let you chicken out,lol!

Good job!

What a great post!  So happy for you and love hearing that you don't have buyers remorse.  My VSG date is set for Dec 26, 2012 and I am a self pay as my bmi is around 35.  Wish I could have the surgery today but have to wait until Winter Break (I work at a university).....I'll have 12 days to recover.  Hope that's enough but I do have a desk job so I don't exert alot of energy at my job.

Keep us posted on your progress!
