Today is 1 month and 1 day since I had my VGS surgery. And I can’t tell you all how happy I am to have had this surgery. It has made all the difference in the world to my life. I have 10x the amount of energy I used to have, almost like I have a bounce in my step again.
My SW: 260
My CW: 217
GW: 175-180
It just seems like it’s really working.
What I wanted to share with some people that seem to be struggling with the weight loss is that I have made my diet mostly Keto. I understand carbs are just as important during the recovery time, but being more keto has helped the weight come off faster. Faster than even when I was not eating much after the surgery. I am really surprised by how fast it is dropping now... I think I’ll be at my goal weight before I even know it. Because of all this new found energy, I have been able to do so much more. I want everyone to be this happy 😃

I am happy WLS is working so well for you.

I would like to lose weight quicker. Even when I eat small amounts the scale doesnt move much. So trying more of a Keto approach of reducing my carbs. Replaced Breakfast with a Protein Shake and lunch with a tuna salad. Heres hoping...

I think you will find success this way, you might even want to throw in a quarter of an avocado in there. I’ve mostly been eating eggs, avocado and salad... tuna is a great idea. I am going to try that next week :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
