I lost slowly too. The upsides to this is that you skin loves you for it. You will lose weight, just listen to your doctors!

Hey Everyone, I am 7 months post surgery and my current weight is at 138lbs, my goal is to get to around 121 / 127lbs. So I went out looking for some sort of exercise I’d enjoy so that it would be sustainable. I did a free CrossFit trial and I’m really enjoying it so I’ve signed up and have been doing it for a few weeks now. I really struggle to get to 60 grams of protein some days so extra protein shakes etc won’t be an easy task. Has anyone else found an intense sport post VSG that they really enjoy and have carried on with? How do you manage physically? Have you lost muscle (protein / calorie intake) ? Gained muscle? Felt better? Worse? Some guidance would be really helpful! Thank You in Advance.

I have PCOS. It was the reason I had my surgery. I take my vitamins as my doctor has advised, in addition I take the Neocell Beauty Infusion for my hair loss. 6000mg of collagen and 3000mg Biotin. It’s helped a lot. My weight loss is slow but after seven months I’m 63kgs. 138lbs. Just don’t give up!!!

6 months apart

Hey everyone, I’m 8 weeks down and I’ve only lost 11kgs! Am I being too hasty? What am I doing wrong? I’m doing over 10000 steps a day, i have a protein shake for breakfast (even though I can’t bare the taste of the whey shakes and the flavourless one is even worse) I have Caesar salad for lunch ( mostly lettuce, egg and bacon) other days it’s chicken, or tuna, or whole grain brown rice and chicken and dinner isn’t too different. What’s going on? Anyone have any ideas?

I gave my surgeon a call and she said that that is also the area where I have a muscle stitch so it will take longer to heal. Im probably starting to notice it more because im easing off the pain meds. It makes sense that that's the incision the stomach comes out of, with a muscle stitch.

I am 2 weeks post op and my right hand side incision is really sore. I woke up on my right hand side two days ago and its been sore since, by the evening I have to hold it to walk. Does anyone know what this could be?

No, its not red or warm.
