Hey VST peeps!!!

Here is just a update with my VSG journey. Started at 287 sleeved on 8/17. Had my 1 week follow 8/27 weighed 272. I DO NOT weigh myself at home. I don't want to stress over numbers. So rely on my clothing to let me know if I'm losing or not. My next weigh in will be at my 4 week visit on 9/20 I'll share those numbers at that time. *crossing grinders hope I went down some more*

Now with my sleeve. I am thankful to say I have had zero problems! I can drink Water, eat my food without any problems and take my Vitamins. My body let's me know I'm full by burping. But its scary. Bcos it seems like the sleeve isnt working. I mean it seems like those that were sick lost the most weight faster, Due to the fact they couldn't keep anything down.

Now I am on the puree stage and I pretty must just east Salmon, tuna, canned chicken, mashed potatoes Protein shakes, egg whites yougurt..jell-o pudding SF and SF eddy fruit bars. I measure everything and only consume 1/2-1/4 cups.

I can't lie days I don't feel hungry so I don't eat or one day I totally forgot to eat after the morning bcos I was out and about. SMH..But I still take my Vitamins.

I haven't had a BM in a few days and had to get stool softener. I sip throughout the day but it doesn't feel like I'm getting enough liquid in bcos I only pee like twice in a day. So odd! Before I had my VSG If I drank Water I was running back and forth tonthe bathroom.

Is anyone else having having bathroom issues?

My story is similar to yours. I was sleeved on Aug 27 weight that day was 247. Two weeks out I'm at 223. I've been at this weight now for three days. I struggle to get my Water in. I'm just moving into the purred stage and doing very well. I haven't been sick at all. Im disappointed that I seem to have stalled already. I meet with my nut tomorrow, looking forward to that. Mostly I'm scared that I want loose as much weight as I need to. I'm not sure where this fear comes from but I think it's from years of dieting and regaining. Good luck to you and me:)

Also I'm using Bodygold colon clenz, one capsule, everynight. It works greet and is very gentle. It goes down really well for me. I get it at Walmart.< /p>

I feel the same. The thing is I want to loose slow. At least that's what I say. Since I've been youtubing and on this sight I see how fast people drop and I'm like maybe I should go as fast as I can before the stalls. Idk maybe slower is better I know slower is better. Skin has time to tighten up. Things are so confusing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
