My name is Roslyn. VSG-06/01/2015
Height: 5'4"
HW: 294
SW: 285.5
CW: 255
Goal: 145
I'm feeling good. I workout 3-4x per week. Have been doing that well before surgery. Struggle with an insane appetite. Even after surgery, still need to control my urges to eat. I burn through food quickly and get hungry fast. VSG has helped but the pangs have not completely gone away. I try to stay under 1100 calories per day but get a caloric "break" with the additional exercise (+300 to 500 calories).
Everyday is a struggle. Any advice?!?!0 -

I developed hypoglycemia after surgery so the balance of carbs or no carbs is my daily struggle0 -
I'm Heather 43 and I had my gastric bypass done 3/24/15.
Highest weight 325lbs + didn't care to step on the scales.
Weight day of bypass 299lbs
Clothing size 28
As of this morning 225lbs not shy with the scales now.
Clothing 18- 20. 18 is just a tad snug but still wearable.
No regrets in anyway, I dont miss eating sweets or huge meals. I have more energy, I'm doing yard work, going to the park with my kids and just loving and living life. TODAY IS ALWAY THE BEST DAY.

I'm a newbie but I'm doing great! I have already lost weight and I'm just trying to balance my food intake. I am excited about this journey and I see a change in me already. My clothes are already starting to be loose. My goal weight is 150lbs I will be more than happy at that weight. I haven't seen that weight since I was in my 20's.0 -
Amazing success stories! Hi! My name is Barbara. My shoe size was 71/2.
Height: 5'
Weight: 321 lbs
Pants: I didn't wear them
Dresses: 32-34, 36-38, (at that time, it was very hard to find clothes big enough for me)
Tops: 36-38 (4x) I can't remember if they had that back in 03'.
Current Weight: 106-110
Pants: 0
Tops: XS
Shoes: 6 or 6 1/2
I was so heavy/morbidly obese I could barely care for myself with personal hygiene. I got deeply depressed and I went into a cycle of binge eating for about 6 years. Before that, I was always about 15 lbs over weight. I was about to give up my career as a Hospice Social Worker when a friend of a friend that was heavy all her life had this surgery. Before I knew it I had the surgery.
The first 6 months was hell. Back then, they didn't require counseling, diet counseling,etc. The worst part was the feeling of a raw stomach. I also ate too much and experienced wasting. I found out soon that I could shrink my stomach and follow the doctor/nutritionist after some consultation.
I thought I was going to die. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, edema, and could barely walk. I didn't lose my weight over night. It took me about 2 years to get it all off. I did lose some hair but it grew back with no problems.
My life changed significantly after the weight came off. I finally felt a sense of self. I never became "oh I'm so great." For me, I was happy to be alive and humbled to be given a second chance. I swore I would help others that asked for it that I would support people suffering in silence the prison of obesity.
I'm just an average woman, who loves to laugh, make friends, and stay out of trouble! Feel free to ask me anything about my experience. I'm an open book and I do have a before picture.
Sincerely,
Barbara
