Yes! I’m scheduled for vsg surgery on 10/24/23. Super excited! Congratulations to you all!

Bookmarked, thank you so much! 😍

if comparing pre-wls me vs post-wls me, today, (5 yrs post) im not sure if im more or less "hungry", because looking back, im convinced i wasn't actually as hungry as i said i was back then, i think i just wanted to eat. lots. i think i enjoyed or chased that "stuffed" feeling? i dunno. now, i HATE that stuffed feeling. so yeah, i do get hungry still, but i tend to not overfeed that hunger cuz i dont want to feel the icks. i do remember feeling ravenously hungry before. i haven't felt that since. however, if we are comparing 1st year post op me vs todays 5-yrs post op me, im definitely hungrier now that those first few months cuz i had food aversion for a while.

Okay, so the weight loss looks great, but can I just say that your hair wins the day! I absolutely love the new style! And are those lavender highlights? It looks fabulous!

What a post. Joy joy joy. That's the whole point

It's nice to put a face to a poster ! Good luck with U Tube ! My only comment -it's not criticism, but my personal preference is to watch shorter videos. I'm subscribing to your channel to see all the insights you have into the weight loss journey !!! What a great announcement !

Sounds like you're doing just fine OP. I am almost 2 years post surgery. I have never set a timer to do anything (food or drink) but I know lots of us have benefited from that approach. I am a chugger and a gulper. I can see that this would not be good for lots of folks but it seems to have worked for me thus far. I eat what I think I'll be able to process (based on experience) and then stop. If I need more later then I will eat more. At 6 weeks I was desperately trying to meet my fluid and protein goals. Nothing else mattered. I didn't do it every day. I never timed bites - not sure that would have been in keeping with my long term goals.

10 months out, 15 more pounds to reach my goal (61#’s down)

Hi! I’m scheduled for October 3rd!
