It's quite amazing what two years and VGS surgery can do for a person. I wish everyone the same success I've had

You look amazing! Congrats!
All the damn time. I actually witnessed someone in Costco tell a friend of mine whom has had gastric bypass to "eat a cheeseburger, you crack whore" We simply walked away - there is nothing you can...
I really had no pain. Did you have the Da Vinci surgery?
Yes and I actually did pass out. From that point I started forcing as much liquid as possible and it got better.
Thank you thank you for saying what many of us are thinking! Stalls are a guarantee with this procedure. We've read countless posts about it and our doctors told us, and told us and told us. It's not...
Hi all, been off for a long time. Feeling like crap and def not wanting to share my epic failures....
I'm 26 months post op and my goal was to lose 100 lbs and I did that and have maintained it....
I was just the opposite for a long time. I threw up almost nightly. After surgery the meds I take at night (still) two years later make me sick and I used to throw up every time but now I can't throw...
2381523816If someone had told me two years ago I could feel healthy, I would've laughed. I now have a job where I'm on my feet all 8 hours and you know what I can do it no problems and nothing hurts...
I can totally understand that... Everyone is so used to how I look now that they don't say anything... Lets be honest, when we are being told left and right how amazing we look and it starts...
I had the same problem! Your system is in shock! It'll pass... No pun intended :) Just keep up the liquids so you don't dehydrate.
WOW!!! Just wow!
Congrats! I know exactly how you feel :) I went from a size 22/24 to a size 8 WOOHOO!!! 3x on the top to a Large... Best decision I ever made for myself!
I froze my ass off last winter... Nothing has changed this year. I just wear more layers now LOL We have way less insulation to keep us warm :)
Hang in there, it will get better... It's not for the faint at heart but you will be happy with the end results. The first month or so sucks... No question about it but when you've hit your breaking...
Well said! I think I was a mean girl too at my biggest... I'm on the receiving end of it now too. It's all good, we can relate to their misery. We just chose to do something about it.
Just hang in there... Every day it will get a little better. Life sucks the first few weeks and then gradually it gets better...
IMHO You are entitled to tell them whatever you feel is enough... Having had this surgery, it's very personal. At first I was very selective of who I told because I would always get the "why don't...
Uh alcohol now hits me like a mack truck! I used to have a very high tolerance for alcohol but not any more! It's not one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. It's one tequila, run to the...
I absolutely love Dannon light and fit greek yogurt (toasted coconut) and I add honey roasted peanuts to it. It's amazing :)
After reading a post from Julayne "Best thing I've ever done... 4 months out" I replied about my breaking point. My surgeon warned me of it and I remember it well.
It was about a week after my...
Hang in there... You'll get there... We've ALL had that breaking point. my surgeon warned me of it. And you know what, he was right. It hit me like a freight train. One minute I was fine and the next...
You're still too swollen to stretch. Take in as much liquids as you possibly can. This time is paramount to a good recovery, and liquids are going to make it better.
I had a Divinci hysterectomy as well. It was amazing! I had no pain (at all) I asked if I could leave the moment I woke up... Of course they said no, I had to spend the night. My surgery was a couple...
