Whittle down

One of my co-workers stopped by my office and was going on about how much weight I lost. (now, I don't tell everyone at my office but some people I do trust. Eventually I will be more forth coming). Anyway, I trust Cindy. I told her I had weight loss surgey but not the lap band or bypass. Something "new". She guessed right away that it was vsg! She had it done 3 years ago! I knew she had lost a bunch of weight 3 years ago but she claimed it was just exercising. To this day she has not told a lot of people how she lost the weight. She is short, like under 5ft she weighed 186 before surgery She lost down to a size 0. She couldn't find any clothes to fit her so she upped her calories and is a comfortable size 4. She says that I will never gain the weight back as long as I don't graze all day long. She says that her pouch feels as small as it did 3 years ago. She watches what she eats but doesn't exercise. I am very inspired to see her maintain as well as she has. I know I chose the right surgery.

Awesome. Haven't seen anything in my closet that didn't have the letters xl in it for 20 years. Can't wait to see the letter M in the future!

Thanks for sharing. I asked to be friends on Facebook my name is Dawna Bledsoe

Very difficult the first 3 weeks and I questioned my decisions but now I am over 2 months out and this sleeve really works! It has given me hope, control over my hunger and the ability to make good choices. Whittled down 37 lbs so far. In my opinion, the removal of the actual stomach and the hormones is why it is superior to the other surgeries. I feel that these are the tools that will make the difference in maintenance. Maintenance is my biggest concern and goal.
