Never, This surgery did help me to lose all this weight and i'm grateful. But in return it cost me my stomach and a few scars. I don't really care about those scars but the stomach i really care about. I'm trying to bulk and its very hard with my small stomach. I'm 10 months post up and I can't eat enough amount of Protein. I jog 5k everyday in under 30 mins. I really didn't knew I had it in me. If i only pushed myself before doing the surgery. I would've done it alone Its not that i'm not grateful but I could've done it naturally.

I started going to college 2 weeks after my surgery, never really had any problem. just getting late for class because my friends finally noticed that I've changed and lost weight

What's your favorite exercise, Why and did you think you could do it before your weight loss journey?

You should slow down, but your fine If you have a leak you will notice believe me. you will feel strong pain and a high heart beat and probably pass out. I never heard that someone got a leak from drinking too much liquid.

It depends, how long did u do your surgery. I wouldn't recommend drinking a lot of water you may get a leak. just drink small sips of water, and make sure you are eating, maybe you're just hungry

Its very normal for your weight loss to stop at some point. At one month I only lost around 3 lbs and the next months I lost 15 lbs. Just make sure you're not starving yourself and keep drinking Water. walk 20 mins if the doctor allowed it. Good luck!!

I eat boiled egg too, Its not that hard to disgust and contains protein and healthy fats.

There is a lot of protein types, you can make at home by blinding fruits and milk. Or you can get protein powder, like whey protein which is taken from milk. It's personal preference, I recommend natural protein smoothies you can find recipes in the Internet.

I used to be 310 lbs and currently I'm 209, I want to reach 180 just 30 pounds to go. We will make it its just a matter of time.

I believe VSG is much better, i'm 10 months post op, and I can't understand why people even think about RNY. I lost 100lbs and almost no muscle lost. so losing muscles should not be your concern. And believe me once you lose weight you will never wanna go back. you just have to stay motivated.

Its great to do your research before the surgery, try and gather as much information as you can. better be safe than sorry.

I know this topic is gross but i wanted to know if anyone got this problem too .It seems like everytime i have a big meal or take my HUGE vitamin pills, my stomach starts to hurt and I feel like vomiting but instead I just drool like a dog. can't understand why i can't just vomit like i used to before surgery, when my stomach hurts alot i self vomit. is anyone having the same problem?

Thanks for the information, It happens to me about twice a week. especially at lunch. Im glad its nothing serious. That damn slime

Started my journey on July 2012. Starting weight was 310 and now 209lbs. 100lbs gone 30 more then I will start my second stage (bulking) to get rid of the excess skin and achieve the body I always dreamed about. I no longer wear 5x shirt or 47 pants, I don't look like a hip hop rapper with shirts hanging to my knees. I wear xl shirts and pants that i borrowed from my brother I usually run away when a picture is taken, but after losing weight I got more self confidence here is a picture my friend somehow was able to take it Last year, I loved Burger king Today And im also down 4 lbs this week reaching 205lbs XD

Thanks buddy, I'm glad to find someone around my stats. We will do this Thanks guys

Hello everyone, I've been viewing this forum before my surgery and a lot of the information helped me. I did my vsg on july 2012 and i've lost more than 100lbs in 10 months which i'm really happy about. But soon I will be going to the military camp for 3 months which explains the topic title. I can handle the drills but the food!! we have three meals per day and I'm only allowed 1-2 min to eat. and i can't eat that much in 2min. there is no way they are gonna give me more time. I'm concerned that if i didn't eat the proper amount required I will be tired all the time and I will lose my muscles and not fat. I already delayed the camp due to my weight in the past, but this could be my last chance. please help

I can't bring food, even if i did it won't last me 40days. I will try to get a description to bring my Vitamins with me, they give me a little boost.

definitely walk and do some bodyweight exercises too like push up, sit up and squats

If you find walking boring, try listening to an audiobook or music. mix it with speed walking and jogging if you can, its so much fun. Good luck!!

I jog/sprint 3 miles every day, twice If i was motivated. I wish I can hit the gym, but not yet due to my back injury

breaking a 2 year relationship is not something to judge so fast. I believe you should take time and think about it, doesn't matter how many people says you should dump him, if u made the wrong choice you will regret it not them. some problems are solved alone and I really hope you guys get along well.

The best feeling is to try some old clothes. But at some point it starts to get annoying when they get too big

I'm also 10 months out and I've lost 102 lbs!!!!.I thought my loss is slow,but I'm glad to find that we are on the same range. Best of luck

I tried a new stunt today. I timed myself 2mins and ate as fast as i could. The trick was to eat quickly before my brain notice my stomach is full. It took me 2mins to eat what i usually eat in 20-30 mins. I did feel some pain but not that strong. I know this is dangerous but what do u guys think?

After 10 months of the surgery I can hardly see the scars. It will look better along the way. Good luck!!
