April 29th surgery. 3 month stats: 47 lbs down, A1C 5.5%, Cholesterol under 200 for the first time EVER, fasting glucose under 100. Size from 4-5X (28-30) now 2-3X (22-24). My double chin is now a rooster gaggle "beard". lol I can sit in a restaurant booth AND bend over the table.

I had my surgury on April 21st too. I'm down a 52 pounds as of this morning and feeling great. I have 65 pounds left to reach my goal. I have went from a size 24 to a size 16. The best part is I'm no longer considered a diabetic. I'm just waiting to be taken off my blood pressure medication and at this rate it shouldn't be long.

A lot of people don't list what surgery they have had when posting or blogging. Also A lot of people include their pre-op loss in with their post op loss and it confuses people like me *****ally want to know who has had a VSG and how much they have lost from day of surgery until now. I had the VSG April 29th of 2008 and today is my three months and I have only lost 40lbs. I am very worried I am behind the 8 ball. I am hungry every 3 hours faithfully, I still crave pizza. Although I have only tried it a few times since surgery. There are only so many times I can eat eggs for breakfast. What else does anyone eat for protein for breakfast? I am not a sausage person, so that's out. I am running out of Ideas. Lunch well that is easy and dinner is easy for protein although I eat to many carbs. I know this. I do work out 4-5 times per week. 30 minutes each time. (TREADMILL) I just feel like I am doing something wrong. I almost feel like I am eating to often and maybe to much. Can anyone else out there shed some light on my weightloss and please don't respond with the " when's the last time you lost 40 lbs speech" I am serious. I wouldn't give mot one of those pounds back, don't get me wrong. I feel great and have double the energy I used to but I see myself as a failure so far. Please give me your feedback. I am also consuming around 1000-1400 calories per day. Is that too much? i also have been having a flank pain in my right lower back. It is not a kidney stone. I have had those before and i have had this pain for about 3 weeks. i keep thinking I slept wrong or twisted. Should I be concerned?

Praise the Lord. I thought I had done something wrong. I have been in a stall also and was getting depressed. Thank you all for sharing that WOOT!

Congratulations! I had my surgery April 10, 2008 and have lost 42 pounds since and 55 before surgery. So a total of 97 pounds!!! We are about the same! I love shopping for clothes now! I had to buy new undies a couple days ago ! I started my journey last November 2007. Keep up the great work! Take care. -Dawn (Minnesota)
