Congrats, you'll be in two hundreds any day now. We get so used to not losing weight that when we do we can't believe it. I thought it wouldn't work either, but.... it's slowly coming off so i'll just roll with it. It's funny because to me I don't look any different(but am wearing smaller size clothes!), so I guess things are right on track. Good luck can't wait to hear when you hit the 200's and then lower. Consider me a cheerleader for you!

I had my first feel two weeks ago, believe me it has been an adjustment so to speak lol but your portions will go to about 3 ozs thats it , sometimes i wish i enjoyed it before my adjustment she actually didn't want to add anything because i lost 22lbs before my fill but i insisted because I was feeling anxious like yourself and didn't lose week 5, its a rollercoaster I just wish i didn't feel so frustrated about getting things down.....good luck

The hardest part of all of this is temptation. Once you can overcome temptation it gets significantly easier. We are all big for some reason or another, and we didnt get here by making great food choices. You have to learn to reset your mind. And it doesnt happen overnight. For some people surgery put their mind straight and they haven't deviated. Good for them , but that doesnt happen to all of us. Don't get discouraged. I way I am learning to think of food is 1) why am I eating this? (hunger, boredom,ect) 2) what is the food giving my body? (Protien, vitamins, ect) 3) could I make a better choice 4) Will I feel guilty afterwards and is it worth it? (some times the answer is yes. For example I ate a cupcake, it was delicious, I am under my calorie count, and I only ate 1. Do I feel guilty. NOPE) Your body is still healing dont focus on weight. You should focus on getting your mind right and letting your body heal. Weight loss will come

Possibly the best entry title EVER. Ok, of the summer for sure! Twoderville can't wait to welcome its newest resident. Just dont' become tooooo comfortable there, because one-derland awaits. I'm preop and I think my feelings will likely be very similar to yours. I keep thinking that I must willingly suspend my disbelief and know that IT IS WORKING! Chances are, I can see myself becoming seriously bruised from pinching myself. Congrats again!

Oh it's real all right! And that's because you are pimpin' your sleeve!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...love your story...keep writing. My hubby and I enjoyed imagining what I may be going through this time in two weeks. I'm getting excited. Thanks for your perspective.... luck, love and prayers...

Thanks so much for this post! I'm having surgery on Aug. 22 and, like you, reading everything I can so that I'm prepared. Your post was very helpful! Best of luck on your journey!

I took my dog for a walk around the block and felt like I'd ran a marathon. I had to take a nap. I would have thought by now I would walk a mile effortlessly. Recovery from VSG is not for sissies....

i went in at surgery the 17th of july .at 308 came home from surgery at 330 !..said i was dehydrated when i came in ??

WOO HOOO!!!! Everyone seems to celebrate ONEderland, but seriously, where's the love for Twoderville? When I started at 360, Twoderville seemed almost impossible, let alone the elusive Onderland. BUT OMG, here I am at 280 and it's AWESOME!!! Accept the reality, it's REAL and YOU are making it happen!
