Hello everyone I'm new here!! I'm currently in the pre-op stage for undergoing VSG Surgery. My highest weight was 428lbs. At my last Dr appointment I weighed 421lbs. My surgeon Dr told me that I'm cleared for everything but when I come back on September 28th if I weigh under 400lbs I can have a Surgery Date. I weighed myself Saturday and was 394 !!! So I should receive my date on the 28th!![emoji16][emoji16][emoji847][emoji847] So my message here is keep going and pushing and don't give up!! I'm happy to be here!!

You're off to a good start! I wish you best on your journey!

Hello, I just make the BEST possible choice of what is there. Eat small portions and even smaller if there is no healthier options. Seems to work for me so far. As far as the Holidays, I don't know. This will be my first round of Holidays since surgery. I plan to handle it just like I mentioned above though.

Woohoo! Be proud, that weight loss is something to be proud of! Keep it up.

Good luck losing those 20 pounds! You must be excited

Thank you all so much for the replies!! 🙂

Pretty amazing progress so far, Congratulations!

I bought toddler silverware when I was first post op. It made meals seem easier and I was able to spend more time enjoying it over just a couple of bigger bites. And I agree it’s likely a stall. Just keep going and it’ll get easier as time goes on.

Do you still have your gallbladder? I know that the GB can be an issue for a lot of people after bariatric surgery.

I didn't even think that would happen! Are you having this issue?
