Hello! I really don't know how this works as this is a first for me. I don't expect anyone to care about reading this so I'm gonna think of this as a diary. I have been very lax about journaling my weight loss journey so far. I'm a little ashamed of that!

 

Today marks me at 8 weeks post-op VSG. I'm not one to weigh myself (hardly EVER) but upon scheduling my surgery date, I weighed in at 215. I then did a 10 day Pre-Op Diet and lost 7 lbs! My surgery day weight was officially 208 lbs. I now weigh 183!! That's 25 lbs in 8 weeks! Sometimes upon reading other people's posts of HUGE amounts of weightloss in only a month's time, I feel depressed. BUT, I've averaged 3 lbs. a week and if I continue at that rate, that's 150 lbs in a year!

 

I do want to share about my decision on having weight loss surgery. My BFF and I have struggled with our weight for years, trying every kind of diet out there. A woman we work for mentioned that her neighbor(an RN) had went to Mexico & had the LapBand done because it was soooo much cheaper than in the States. This started my intensive research. I quickly found out through the internet & an awesome book that the States are WAY behind in medical procedures. I have no insurance and would have to Self-pay so Mexico was the ONLY option for me if I truly wanted to change my life.

 

I have no doubt that every step of this journey has been a God-thing. I found a Patient Coordinator who took care of everything and had my BFF & I booked for surgery quickly. Before we knew it, our 10 day liquid diet was over (BEWARE: day 2 was a KILLER!) and we were flying to San Diego.

Welcome to the world of blogging! I have been a weight loss blogger for going on 10 years. Needless to say it was time for REAL, lasting weight loss.... thank you VSG!!

For the weight at which you started, your loss is going at a very good weight!! It is slower when you weigh less. I've done 60 lbs in 11 weeks but I started at 310 lbs so that's why!

I liked your post very much and I hope you keep blogging! If you are interested my VSG blog is here: Health and Happiness
