7 Months Out From VSG



Recommended Posts

Hey there! I had VSG done on 3/21/2017. I have lost just over 100 lbs since surgery which is 80% of my total weight loss goal. Just curious if that seems normal or high for how far out I am.. My surgeon commented that I have lost a lot more than most in that short period of time. Now I am concerned that I am going to lose more than I want to (my goal weight is 160).

HW: 296

SW: 286

CW: 185

GW: 160

Ok, you can compare to me.

So, yeah.. you are 14lbs ahead of me. I eat about 1100 calories a day and haven't started exercising quite yet.

Maybe the gym is what's made the difference. I have been going since 2 weeks after surgery.. I try to go as regular as I can but sometimes life gets in the way and I skip a few weeks. The perspective helps though thank you!!

I went from 296 to 225 so far, its not all about the weight, but the body fat %. You can be adding muscle and losing fat. I had a goal weight of 205 ish in mind, but feel comfortable at 225. Your body will settle into its natural weight after the reset.

      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.
