  1. I am 4 months out, down about 56 lbs and have noticed the past couple of weeks that my hips have been achy as well. Mostly when I first get up of a morning and then when I sit for long periods of time, which is a lot, since I have a desk job. I try to be as active as I can while at work, but sometimes it's just not possible..

    Im Not Special.....

    I was so sure that I would be my surgeon's "poster child" for VSG, no such luck... But after my 3.5 month follow up with him yesterday, he was happy with my progress. I am down 54 lbs and a couple of sizes. I've had stalls and now the dreaded hair loss. I make sure I take my supplements and my Biotin daily. We are all special... we took the necessary steps to better ourselves! Good luck everyone!
  3. Congratulations! You look great!

    Thanksgiving Challenge

    Count me in! I'm 3 1/2 months post op. HW 288 CW 236 Thanksgiving Goal - 225 Had my 3 month follow up with the nutritionist this week. She was not happy that I had only lost 12 lbs in the past 5 weeks. it's my fault, I splurged on my birthday and have not been exercising as much. So I know what I have got to do!!

    Sleep Apnea Questions

    I was told I had sleep apnea during the insurance approval process. I am 3 1/2 months post op now and down 52 lbs. I was told that I didn't have to go back to the sleep apnea doctor until which ever come first; at goal weight, one year post op, or lose 100 lbs. I don't use my CPAP every night, but when I feel a little more tired than usual, I will use it.

  9. I splurged on a pumpkin donut a couple of weeks ago. It tasted so amazingly delicious!
  10. I am taking the Bariatric Advantage vitamins twice a day, a 500mg calcium chew and a sublingual B12 tablet. I will have my three month post op appt with my surgeon in early Nov. He will do blood work to check all my levels and then make adjustments if necessary.

    8 week photos

    You look great! I'm about 10 weeks out, down 48 lbs. I need to upload new pics. I love buying clothes two sizes smaller than what I was wearing! Keep up the great work!
  12. I've not had any issues either. I feel bad for those who've had issues. I was the same way when I had my hysterectomy. I had no pain or issues with it either.
