VSGers from December 2013

Anyone else out there who was sleeved in December.

  • I was sleeved on December 3 and I have lost 30 pounds since surgery, closer to 37 since I first met with the doctor. The weight loss is a little slower than I'd thought it would be, but it keeps coming off!

    I was sleeved on 12/30/13. I have lost 28 pounds so far. It is a great tool but not easy. So many mind/food issues to conquer.

    Hi I was sleeved December 3rd, I have lost 35 lbs since my 2 week pre op diet. I have slowed way down but I only had a BMI of 36.5 when I started. I really wanted it to help with my sleep apnea, which it has. Best decision could have made.

    December 5th here, lost 40lbs / 20 from pre-op. It's coming off realllly slow, it's a journey not a sprint , right?! I've had to relearn how to eat and how much and that's been the most difficult part. I'm thrilled to have had the surgery though.

  • Hello,

    I was sleeved Dec 6th and have lost 24 pounds since surgery and 54 pounds since seeing my Doctor back in mid-September. The weight loss is really slowing down now. I am feeling a lot more energy but need to start walking more and start exercising more to get my activity level up. I know I am consuming way to few calories. Need meal idea's for being 6 weeks post op? I am new to MFP but I think my meal history is open to view.

    Thanks,

    Michael

    I was sleeved Dec. 18, 2013 and I am down 34lbs since surgery. I was so scared before surgery weight was going to come off too fast, and now I'm worried it's too slow. But logically I know I am doing the right things and everything is happening as it should for my body. I do need recipe ideas and to get moving more. I know getting regular exercise is going to be key.
