VSG? Here's why

[Toomanytacos 251]

For those of you who've secretly wondered why I got the VSG as opposed to just "doing it without help"

This first picture is the amount of food I could eat at one sitting X 4.. Yes, 4 of these plates before I was "full"
The second picture, this is my food for the day (besides broth and sugar free popcicles) and I'm "stuffed"

Thanks for posting the pics!! Have my surgery in 4 days and of course been having doubts. But it’s great to get reminders how this is what I absolutely need to become healthier and lose the weight!!

That's crazy! Nice to get a visual like that. I made something today and in the past would have eater it all in a sitting and then had something else, but now ate 10% of it and was painfully full. I also noticed that my 17 lb dog can eat more than me!

As I have said before, I could eat 8 McDoubles in one sitting.
Now I can only eat one (which isn’t very often).

What were your stats. How much did you weight on surgery, how much are you now? .. I could have eatn 7 or 8 too.. Isn't it crazy how we eat for comfort? How much have you lost since surgery. And .. did you hit a stall? and if so how long did it last?

Hi We share the same surgery date

Lol

How much have you lost since surgery? Have you hit a stall?

I have and it's pissing me off.. Since Dec 26 (my two week) I've got up and down but have only lost about a 1lb, which means that 16 pounds I did lose since surgery was pretty much in the first two weeks post op

Grrr

How many calories are you eating in a day?

When did you weigh 308? On surgery date?

Nice to meet you. What's your name? I'm Joanna

Sent you a PM with lots of details. For folks who also share the date I'm down about 25 lbs from surgery and close to 35 since the pre-op diet started and eating 600 - 1100 calories a day (usually around 800).
