5 months Post Op VSG Body Shrinkage

I will not be able to make the meet and greet today, I am working on the rear end of my son's car in the garage!!  I should be working on my REAR END!!  This is my problem area!

Today is my 5 month post -op anniversary. 
Wow things have changed!  Some for the better and some for the worse(skin stuff).  I am so thankful to my GP(Dr. Coodin) for refering me to the Bariatric Program, my surgeon(Dr. Andrew)for doing the VSG on me!  Most of all I am thankful to my family and friends for all the supportive comments (Negative ones too).

I can eat almost everything I want to, only much smaller portions.( I like to take pictures just to prove it) My head still thinks that I should be able to eat more. Thank GOD for VSG!

It is incredible to see pictures of the body that my mind was stuck in!  I have always been told that I hide my weight well, well I am sooo sick of hearing that.  Or that I have such a pretty face, I  do have more weight to loose yet.  But holly crap I have lost my 8 yr old!! (weight wise).

Here are the Stats...... you will need to look on my profile if you are interested!!

Your doing so well, I can't wait to follow in your footsteps. I don't like all those comments, such a pretty face, yuck. I think that will be the one thing through this I will struggle with, peoples comments. That's why I still haven't told to many people, plus I don't have a date yet so it doesn't seem real yet.
Thanks for sharing, I enjoy reading about the success of VSG, and so glad your one of them

Your rockin that sleeve girl! Good for you. I'm always so glad to see these posts where folks are pleased with their surgery and success. I'm glad to read that you are managing most foods. That too is so good to hear. Michelle does the food restriction get easier with time? I just know how this past 2 weeks has been for me mentally. My gosh I could eat the paint of the walls some days!  would you say your body and mind are one then for the first time? Sorry for the questions.......
                                 You just have to love these people that see old pictures of when you were thin and they say "You were so pretty" What are they saying that I'm ugly now because I'm heavier? Or wait here's one your going to start hearing. Ohhhh Michelle your looking really thin you don't need to lose anymore weight. What their really doing is wishing the weight back on you.....Ya met those types too! At any rate Michelle your doing great! What a great achievement! You go girl! Your a true inspiration to all of us. Thanks for sharing ~Cheryl

Congrats on doing so well. My problem area is my stomach. Everything sags on my butt but my tummy has a ways to go.

Hi Michelle;

We missed you yesterday!
I am so glad that you are progressing so well. You are a month ahead of me, so I am always happy to hear about your success, so I can imagine what the next leg of the journey will be for me. 
What a remarkable experience this is!

Keep up the good work!
