Outlawa1 1 Posted February 20, 2016 How much are you eating and exercising? My VSG is next week and I'd love to follow in your footsteps! Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theladyslipper 120 Posted February 21, 2016 I started walking in the hospital the night of the surgery--2 slow laps. Once I got home, I started walking through the house (house is kind of long--I did figure 8's!) for 15 minutes & after 2 days, I'd walk 15 minutes twice a day. I was so afraid of the idea of a blood clot, so I was pumping my feet a lot & walking around. Now trying to walk 30 min a day outside or at the mall lol! I'm keeping track of food & weight on my fitness pal--it's so easy once you put the nutritional info in b/c we tend to eat or drink a lot of the same things & you just have to enter the info once. My stats: Pre-surgery 268 (2 wks Protein shakes) Day of surgery 253 A little weight gain w/ swelling & IV fluids 2 weeks 245 3 weeks 237 (stall) 4 weeks 235 (stall) 5 weeks 234 (stall) 6 weeks 228 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MzB 297 Posted February 21, 2016 Way to go. Looks like you hit the 3 week stall. but you seem to be taking it in stride. Also, congrats on the tracking! That has been a key to my success. The surgery is a fantastic tool, but the exercise and using MFP EVERYDAY, that is ALL YOU! Get into the good habits now and it will make succeeding in the long run so much easier.

bettyboop2088 19 Posted February 21, 2016 I am 10 weeks out and down 50 lbs it is so wonderful!!! I continue to stay between 850-900 cals because I want to lose 20-25 more. It really is life changing in different ways. I do not have the pain in my hips or knees as I did and I get to buy smaller clothes plus get compliments almost everyday. Best of all I am off my cholesterol medication and my GERD medication, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
