Seven weeks ago today, I had my VSG Surgery. I have lost 46.8 pounds as of today, 19.8 Pre-Op and 27 Post-Op. I lost 2.7 pounds this past week. FitBit tells me I have lost 40% of my excess weight! I have more NSVs to add to my growing list:


-Increased my walk from 2 miles to 3 miles (including 2 hills), with no pain in my legs, impossible for me to do before surgery.

For those of you in the first 2 to 3 weeks, post-op when time goes so slowly and you think that you will never get to eat real food...I want to encourage you...it does happen.


I am so very thankful I had this Surgery.

Congratulations!  You're off to a wonderful start.  That Fitbit can be very motivating, both my husband and I have one and some of our friends do too, so we're friends on the Fitbit site.  Pretty fun so far.

Kay,

Good job! You're doing so great. Glad you hear you are walking so far too. I had RNY 12/15/14 and have lost 34 pounds. Walking 40 minutes per day. Makes a big difference. Thanks for the post.
