    Its Offical Im In A Stall

    I'm 2 weeks out and lost a rapid 20lbs and I'm at a stall!!! So I'm ok for now... It's been 3 days and no drop but I know their is no way this eating 500 calories a day will not equal weightloss. It just can't be mathematically correct... So I'm being patient.
  2. Officially 14 days postoperative wow time does move after surgery!!!

    Over Eating

    You never regret eating healthy, you always regret eating unhealthy. I actually ate better before surgery to get my mind right. Salads and more salads. The weight will still take effort to come off and you will think back had I been this weight the day of surgery I would be this weight post op had I not went od.

    2 Weeks Post And Scale Going Up Slightly!

    Our bodies adjust to what we are now eating and it will continue to drop if you continue the proper food stages from your surgeon.
  9. It does get better each day. :)

  10. 77 pounds to go till goal geez! Keeping my eyez on the prize

  11. My sleep is so off after the surgery... Sleeplesssleever

  12. My preop appt consisted of weight 269, height 5-6.5", urine sample, blood work, EKG, and a chest X-ray. Anesthesia woman came in and asked a bunch of questions from what medications do i currentlytake, when was the last time i took them. She asked if i took any drugs or marijuana. They ask because smoking cigarettes effects healing and so can marijuana use. She asked if i bruised easily or have been sick recently. Everything took maybe a couple hours. I was told the estimated amount of this vsg surgery is $65k and the insurance allowable portion is 10% so out of pocket I have paid to the hospital $2,142.00 (not including meds and prep foods) not bad considering the surgery is so expensive. I just hope no other bills are sent to me... Now on to patiently waiting for surgery day.
  13. Getting these staples removed today! Their annoying!!!! Thanks for keeping up w me everyone!!! Xoxo

  14. I wasn't offered a payment plan at the hospital, I sure wish I was offered that because the $2k+ was a chunky amount I didn't have just lying around but it's done and hope I don't get more bills...

    Am I Eating Too Much?

    I had surgery July 5th and if I see food it comes to mind I wish I could have it but I know I can't. Plus honestly I'm not even hungry. Chicken broth is so soothing to eat and goes down so nice and warm I am shocked you have the want to eat/hunger. We need to pay attention to our stomach not our brains we can get thru this
  20. Time flies after surgery!!!

  23. IM on day 5 post OP and finding it hard to get my liquids in! I also barely have the desire for anything! This is tough. I know many of us wish we weren't hungry but not being hungry and not eating is not healthy that's for sure but IM trying hard to push down some liquids.
