One Year Post-Opt VSG done 10/10/2011 Down 85LBS

Oct 30, 2012

Hello all,

I'm back with a brief update of my progress this year. I'm doing well and loving my VSG.

I got the VSG revision from the LAPBand on 10/10/2011 (STW 309) and so far I've lost over 85lbs. My immediate weight loss goal is too loose 100LBS by New Years day 2013. I give all my weight loss success credit to God and I appreciate His mercy and grace in my life regarding my emotional, spiritual, and physical health. I've struggled with my weight for majority of my life, my addictive overeating habits was the major contributing factor to my obesity. Now, I can still eat small portions, my restriction is great, I would do it all over again. However, I do have to stop every so often to re-evaluate my eating habits, like cutting out carbs and making healthy food choices to continue to be successful in this journey. I cannot drink at all while I eat, or my food will come up. Also, I've had time to focus on how food makes me feel, instead of being burdened down with fear of eating the wrong things which use to lead to several binging for days-weeks-or months, and ultimately weight regain. Now, I have the ability to eat a healthy diet without starvation pangs nipping at my heels. I workout and I have more energy to work fulltime and take care of my family fulltime. My relationship with my husband has improved because I am no longer exhausted when I get home from work. So, look forward to year two with my VSG.

Blessings to all:-)
