Thank you everyone for your kind words. It means so much to me. I was on clear liquids for only three days, then on pureed. My surgeon allowed me to go to the next stage when I wanted to. There were no set time limits. I do go to Orange Theory 4 - 5 times a week and have been going since six weeks out of surgery. I eat the usual Protein foods: chicken, tuna, fish, beef, eggs, cheese, greek yogurt and still have to have a Protein shake daily to meet my protein goals. I was really nervous too. Since the day I decided to have VSG to the actual surgery was about 4 weeks. I went with a private surgeon in Montreal so I didn't need to have any special requirements for the surgery - other than my high BMI. I was a diabetic on insulin and metformin and had sleep apnea. I no longer have diabetes, don't take any medicine, and my sleep apnea is gone. It was the best decision I have ever made for myself.

Hello all, today it has officially been four months and one week since I had VSG. I went from a size 24 to a size 14 pants and a 3-4X shirt to a 1x. I started out over 300 pounds and have lost 80 lbs. I was bigger than the Before picture I have posted but I didn't take any pictures after that one. The after pictures were taken today I still have about 70 pounds to reach goal but I am taking it one day at a time. I am a work in progress!!

Hi canadian_girl Which province are you from? wLS should be covered by your provincial healthcare. I know there is a wait time but might be something to look into. I recommend you speak to your family doctor. Good luck. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
