I Had Vsg _____ Ago, And I've Lost _____ Lbs.



Recommended Posts

Please complete these statements:

I had VSG _____ (days, weeks, months, years ) ago, and I've lost _____ lbs.

When I started, my goal was to lose ______ lbs, and I am ____ tall.

I know a thread like this has been done in the past, but it's sort of buried these days. Plus, I'd rather see how far away you are from surgery (rather than knowing the date of your surgery), so I don't have to calculate the duration myself. :)

I'd also like you to complete the second portion, as I think that will help put it all into perspective.

I'm not comparing myself to you, I know, I know, but there's got to be an average or something out there, right?

I'll start:

I had VSG -7 days ago (March 27th) , and I've lost 2 lbs (on pre-op diet).

When I started, my goal was to lose 40 lbs, and I am 5'6" tall.

Thanks everyone!

I had VSG 3 years (days, weeks, months, years ) ago, and I've lost 150 lbs.

When I started, my goal was to lose 190 lbs, and I am 6-0 tall.

Also, that 190 lbs was my own personal goal, (would have brought my weight to 170lbs) my doctors goal for me was to weigh 212 lbs, which i surpassed by 12 lbs. . now i am maintaining beautifully between 200 - 215lbs. . . very proud of myself

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
