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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
