Vsg vs rny

[SLEEVEDNBEAUTIFUL 42]

Thinking I should have had the rny now instead of vsg. 6 months out only 50lbs down since day of surgery.

GRATEFUL N THANKFUL

"Only" 50 lbs down?....You are doing amazing!!! Don't compare your results to ANYONE else!! You've lost 81 pounds!! Think about that for a minute....81 pounds!!! And the great thing is that you are going to keep it off!!!

Celebrate your accomplishment...don't diminish it!!!

Keep rockin' your sleeve and you will get there!! And remember, you didn't put it all on in 6 months. You WILL have stalls and plateaus and then you'll have periods where you are losing again.

SLOW AND STEADY wins the race!!!!

And BTW...your stats are very similar to mine. I'm almost 5'9" and I started at 339, had surgery at 312 and I was at about the 50 pound mark at 6 months...which I was THRILLED with!! I've lost about 90 since surgery and I'm almost 17 months out.

I haven't lost ANYTHING since the one year mark and it's not because my sleeve doesn't work....it's because I relaxed and I'm not working it!!! Am I frustrated?...Yes!!! But I am still absolutely, 100% happy with my decision to have the sleeve....even if I NEVER lose another pound I am happier with my life becasue I feel like the 115 pounds I've lost (and have kept off BTW) has enabled me to be the person I always knew I was on the inside!!

I have 45 pounds more to lose and it doesn't matter if it takes me another 2 years to get it off....it's coming off!! So be patient with yourself. LIVE in the process of this amazing journey!! It's a much better way to live than to feel frustrated about a number on a scale....which doesn't really tell you anything!!!!
