Today it has been exactly 1 year ago I embarked on a life-changing journey. I had my VSG surgery.

I remember being scared to death in the morning. My surgery was at 7:30 and I had to be there at 6:30 for prep work. The door was not even open ye

Hi everyone, I have been absent from the forum for quite a while. I started my own business in a natural health product and that soaked up so much of my time that I have not been diligent in staying up to date here. I am 10 and a half months out. SW 31

Today, exactly 6 months ago, I embarked on a life changing journey. It has not been an easy journey by any means, but it is worth all of it. The struggle to lose weight is becoming harder, lots of stalls and frustration but I keep plugging away, hoping

I haven't posted for a while, simply because I had nothing to post but frustration. My weight loss stalled for an entire month. The scale did not move at all, yet the weight seemed to redistribute itself a bit. I am 77 lbs down but as fast as it went i

Milestone! 65 lbs gone that is never coming back! I'll be 4 months out on Saturday 

Before surgery, I could not do 5 steps without severe

I was sleeved 12/3/15. At almost 4 months out I have lost over 60 lbs and was doing well up until about 2 weeks ago. I had a major episode of cramps after not having chewed my food well enough and it was so horrible that I can honestly state I rather h

I have been stalling at 258 for 2 weeks now. My dietician tells me at 3 and a half months out I should be eating 1000 calories, but having taken advice from here I eat between 600-800 like I have from the start of eating solid foods. Nevertheless I am

Hit a major milestone today! I now weigh 267 lbs which means I am exactly 50 lbs down from my day of surgery 10 weeks ago! For the first time I walked 1.6 miles in the park today (had not pushed further then 1 mile with my back problems) and I feel gre

Two months out, 44 lbs down, being able to walk straight up with confidence, learned how to genuinely smile, feeling the best I have in years and loving life! If you are about to have the surgery and have any doubts, know that this is the BEST thing yo

I am struggling with the emotional roller coaster ride that can come with VSG. 

I am really struggling with the fact that I am not able to see the changes in me. I lost 42 lbs and I am 8 weeks post op. I know I look different, I know I have cha

My hope was to lose 40 lbs within 2 months after surgery. I thought that was fairly impossible but today I hit that goal when I stepped on the scale and saw 277 lbs! 40 lbs in 7 weeks and 4 days! I am as happy as a clown, this surgery was the best thin
