Hi guys I'm at 5 1/2 months post op now, I look on this fantastic website every day and about 3 months prior to my surgery I have learnt tons and still learn the occasion thing on here, I try to help others  when I can. Infact I dont feel I would of been this sucessful so far if it wasn't from oh and you guys, you keep me on track, keep me motivated and most importantly keep me responsible for my choices, by taking ownership, I realize I was emotionally eating so that is something I really have been trying to turn around. I realize that the vsg is a awesome tool but not the answer if you dont change your lifesyle, and mentality.

 

A very close friend of mine recently had vsg done 4-5 weeks ago, and is in denile that is working for her as she has stalled, not measuring food, always has the foamies, even with me at 5 1/2 months out couldnt eat the amount that she eats and she is  not drinking enough, she doesnt want to hear that she alone can do it but its up to her. so I feel abit powerless as I want to help and be supportive but shes self sabbotagging.I feel that she thinks that since she had the surgery if should be easy from here on out. NOT! I've told her about OH and pleaded with her to have a look, but she hasn't. At the end of the day it's her journey.

 I agree OH has been a wonderful tool.  I am two weeks post op and have made my mistakes but have realized that I had to change the way I eat. I'm still on puréed food and I foolishly tried to purée ir by chewing very well. I was very uncomfortable and have realized I need to measure and purée. I also have a VERY supportive husband and children. Too bad your friend won't check this site out. makes me wonder why she had the surgery. Good luck to you both!
