How many ounces are you eating? Calories per day? how long between meals do you get hungry? How much have you lost? Ive lost 95 lbs, lost 110 and gained a little back during pregnancy. I drink sodas, alcohol, pasta and bread but im cutting all that out as of today. Maybe not soda lol but cutting way back! also what type of alcohol drink do you drink thats sleeve friendly. Thanks!
So i just had a spaghetti lean cuisine and on the box it said 91/2 oz so im assuming i ate 91/2 oz. After I was stuffed uncomfortable for about 15 min then it went away. im full now. is that too much for being 2 years post op? I feel like i eat too much :(
I made my initial goal. 179 pounds (sitting at 178 now). I'm 5'10" and thought that would be a good goal. Doc would have been happy at 190. I'm going to test out another 14 pounds and see how I like 165. I just got back from a vacation in the Dominican and was never happier to not feel like the whale on the beach. Extra skin? Yep, but not as bad as I'd envisioned....I'll post pics when I figure out how. Hope everyone is close to theirs as well....Let's hear from you.
Hello,
I for one have done great. Always was a problem eating too much and this has definitely helped. Even my appetite is a lot less. At a weight that honestly I could stay at so now just a matter of getting muscle back. Hope everyone else in our group is doing as well.

Hello!
I'm personally loving the VSG! It's changed my life!
Ive updated my profile with new photos if you'reinterested.
How are you all coping?

I have the test Jan,15 He wants to make sure that he didn't make the sleeve to narrow or there's no stricture.
As for the Holidays I did fine but we celebrate quite different than most so there wasn't a lot of temptation to begin with. I don't know if I lost anything or not haven't weighed yet. Going to tonight or Tuesday so well see.
Well it was nice hearing from you and thank you for the concern. I'll let you know the results when I hear back.

Jenn:
How are you doing? Did you get the tests done that the doc ordered? Does he think you have a hernia? Let us know. Hope you're feeling better....
How's everyone else? Did y'all fair well during the holidays? I certainly wasn't as diligent and didn't lose a thing over the last two weeks. I'm OK with that since I've never really hit a plateau.
Let's hear from everyone!!!

I'm happy to hear y'all are doing well.
I'm not there yet, been having the hardest time complication after complication.
Still not where I need to be with Protein, water and vitamins. Then found out I have really low iron and vitamin D levels.
It's been crazy for me I currently have to take daily 2-multi-vitamins, 1 b-12, 1-vitamin c, 3- calcium 3 iron and 1- high unit vitamin d three times a week. Plus 1-ppi, 1- lasix and pain killer and Zofrane as needed.
I still have trouble with food. My surgeon is worried and set up a test, but had to cancel due to blizzard.
I know it sounds like I'm complaining, but that's not what I'm intending. Just telling it like it is for me right now.
I'm happy that I did this plus I've lost 75lbs so far. I'm just going to have a harder journey than some and maybe easier than others. I believe it's going to be all worth it once I get to goal.
I'm happy to see some activity on our group. Jenn D.

that's awesome. A 10 day vacation would sound really good for me right now LOL. Good you're doing well
Greetings all....I went on vacation for 10 days and managed to lose about 5 pounds. Need to update the old ticker!!! Love my sleeve, but sometimes miss not being able to eat more....like Caribbean lobster....it was so yummy (and expensive) and I could only eat less than a quarter of it....Doc said I could have a drinky or two, so I did....but wowser, it hit me like a rock....did a lot of snorkeling and hiking....things I never would have done pre-sleeve.....
Hope everyone is doing well!!!
