Well it has been a little over 5 months since I have had my VSG done. When I went into surgery I weighed 255 pounds. As of this morning I weigh 176.6. Woo-Hoo!!! I have been sick for about a week though and the weight has been coming off super fast because of my illness. For the first two months I lost about 20 pounds a month, then it slowed down to where I was losing about 10 pounds a month, which is fine by me. I have been doing much better with my eating...well not necessarily what I am eating but the amounts I am eating. I was eating too fast or too much and I was getting sick and vomitting a lot. Now I care recognize when I am getting to that too full point. My mind still tells me that I am fat and when I look in the mirror i still see all my flaws. I am trying to get over that though. I fit into size 12 pants and xl tops, sometimes larges. My hair is falling out. I am hoping that this will only last a few more months. I have long thick hair so I don't notice it too much, only when I am brushing it. I have been super bad about taking my vitamins. I have my 6 month check up in a few weeks, so I hope that my labs are okay. I know that I need to take my vitamins I just keep forgetting and I feel good so I think that I don't need them, which I know that I do. I argue with myself all of the time. One day the vitamin taking side will win! Overall I love my sleeve. I will begin working out soon. Once I get over this cold. I am hoping the begining of June. I am going to run in a half-marathon in October. One of my goals!
