Well, today is my 1 month surgiversary. I weigh at 183lbs. I have lost 15lbs since surgery day. I am experiencing my first stall. I haven't seen the scale move in a little over a week. And although the weight loss appears to have slowed down, my NSVs are numerous. My size 12/13 jeans are loose. My large tops are all looser. In terms of measurements, I can my tummy is flatter.

I know the stall is inevitable and that my weight loss would be slower. I also haven't resumed exercise, which is really crucial to getting those lbs off. I think this week I can start to incorporate some cardio. I will wait another 2/3 weeks before incorporating weight training. Once I can get things moving along, I will be right on track. As for my diet, I do need to increase my water intake. I have added a tracker on my phone. I am still unable to eat very much, but when I do eat, I focus on my protein. The other day I had a realization after taking a few bits of salmon. It just hit me that I would never be able to eat normally. LOL. I laughed at it because that is what I needed. So, I definitely have great restriction. And it's different from the lap-band restriction that always felt like it was in your chest. With the VSG, it's really my stomach that is just too full. I still need to learn my cues. Because they're very different then with the band. So, it's relearning. I have had a few times I have gotten uncomfortably full, but it was too late. Guess that is just part of the journey.

Overall, my recovery has been pretty good. Do I have any regrets? None, whatsoever. I really should have gotten a revision sooner.
