I was diagnosed this year with a rare form of MG called Lambert Eaton Myasthenic syndrome. I can definitely relate. If you are still active here I would love to share tips and tricks with you.

Sleeved 2 1/2 years ago. No regrets....I love the restriction but have definitely learned how to "graze" to eat more. Just need to work on being more disciplined. I still have no physical hunger after 2 years:)

33 and loving it! Even with being 32 lbs above goal, I wouldn't go back to my 20s.

While that is your opinion, please try to be open minded. I personally had VSG and it SAVED MY LIFE! There are numerous medical reasons why someone would make the decision to have surgical weight loss ie...metabolic syndrome, PCOS, etc I respect anyone's decision to get healthy, regardless of the method they chose. We are…

I've never done one of these challenges but need some Motivation so here goes. I did 1 mile today and my goal is 75 miles this month!

For those of us who suffer from PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome), low carb eating needs to be a way of life. It doesn't mean eliminate ALL carbs, just choose wisely and if you do eat them....pair them with an equal amount of protien.

Hi there! I had my VSG 12/21/2010. So roughly 11 months ago. I am down 90 pounds with very little effort. I feel better physically and emotionally.

I'm not a single mom, but I work full time, attend school and raise 2 gorgeous girls! I don't know how I do it, but I do!

Hi there. I had VSG as well. Since surgery I have never been physically hungry. This leads to me to a question...Are you on an acid reducer? If not, what you could be feeling is acid not hunger. Drinking hot water helps calm the tummy, and gives you a content feeling too. Hope this helps.

I too had the VSG. My surgery was 12/21/10 so I am a newbie. Mind if I ask what your starting weight was? Any helpful hints? I started at 252 and two weeks out I am at 226.

Surgery went well. It was little rough day 1 and 2 post op. Today is day 7, and I feel good. Just have to take it slow. I HAVE LOST 13 LBS in the first week, effortlessly. I love this! I just need to work on drinking more fluids and getting 60-80 grams protien daily.

Some good sites (besides education your doctor will give) are: 1) www.verticalsleevetalk.com 2) www.thinnertimes.com 3) www.obesityhelp.com I did tons of research before deciding to go through with surgery. Sure, you can lose weight on your own. But keeping it off is a different story. Most diets are fads and are not…

I am schedule for Laparascopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on 12/21/20. Currently on day 2 of my protien diet. It sucks royally. The whole head hunger thing is kicking my butt! I just have to take it one day at a time. I know that in the grand scheme of things, this will be the best decision I have ever made.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.. Two days down..
