July VSGers... How's it going?



Recommended Posts

How is everyone doing from the July group? I had VSG on July 10, started at 346.6. Now I'm at 293.2... Down about 53 pounds. I'm feeling good. I still can't SEE a difference in my physical appearance. Others make positive comments, but I'm not able to see it yet.

How's everyone else doing?

Hey there! Doing well here too. Surgery was July 5th and down 56 lbs total. Finally settling into some sense of normalcy with eating. Have hit the gym a few times in the past three weeks with no issues. I'm down 2-3 sizes depending on the brand and am feeling really good. I think it's probably easier for others to see it before we do. But that's just my opinion. Keep up the good work sounds like you're doing great!

My sleeve was 7-8-13. Heaviest was 340. Today I am 271. So give or take 70 lbs down. Very happy :) Hasn't been a walk in the park for sure but I feel like a different person. 130lbs to go!

I was sleeved on July 8 th. down 56 lbs, SW 255, hit onderland this week! Still have a lot restriction and get my 60g Protein. Exercise 4x week. Skin sagging and losing tons of hair. I'm like the OP, can't see the difference but everyone notices the change. I think it's bc in my head I always looked like this but thought all my photos were bad angles or bad days.

Congrats on onederland!!! I had hoped to get there by Christmas but at 230 today I don't think I can pull off 30 lbs in 2 months. I am down 69.4lbs, 50.8 since my 7/17 surgery.

Hi everyone. I was sleeved July 9, 2013 and have lost 70 pounds. I am trying not to compare myself to others in here because it only makes me feel down. I am happy with my results so far and look forward to feeling better every day. This surgery has been a blessing to me. My weight has been a life long struggle and I have finally got control of it. I will keep following my food plan and I am sure I will continue to get healthier with every passing day. I am so very happy and hopeful.

Hi July Sleevers!

I was sleeved on July 26th and have lost 70 lbs since surgery. Total of 91 lbs since my pre-op diet. I am very happy with my loss but I have noticed in the last month, it has started to slow down. I'm sure the last 28 pounds will take me just as long if not longer to lose than the first 70. That's perfectly ok with me though! :)

      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.
