    In case, I don't remember before Monday, I hope your surgery goes well and the recovery is smooth. One has to believe that you are prepared as you have done plenty of research and have been very active in here for some time. And you seem to have a pretty good mental approach to it. Best wishes.

    Your getting close but there are no worries and little to no pain after you go home i felt like i had a slight muscle pull for about 4 days i only felt it when i stood up or set down but after 4 days it was gone. I cant believe how much energy i have now. On the weekends instead of mowing with my riding mower i use my push mower just to get more exercise. So good luck and happt weight loss to you.

    Thank you Ann!! You are sooo right!! It is like Night and day. I traded an unhealthy relationship with food and a food addiction, for a healthy lifestyle and a workout addiction. I cannot tell you how much better I feel now that I am healthy and can help my patients more!!! Thank you for the ADD, Have A blessed Day!!!

    Thank you Ann2 for your lovely comments on my before and after album of photos ... I find it astounding myself..my daughter is 29 and she said " Mum I don't remember you ever looking like this... My reply was I looked like this when I first met your Dad... That was 30 years ago... Hope you are doing well..?
    All the best Hev

Basic Information

About Ann2
Sleeved or not sleeved:
I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
I'm 68 (now 69) and have struggled with overweight since I was 6 years old. I've been heavy, normal, heavier, slim, even heavier, normal, heavier .... You all get it.

I'm married to a wonderful man who supports my VSG journey. My goal is to become as healthy as I can as I head into retirement. I've done so many other things well in my life and refuse to let this problem defeat me.

I invite all the support anyone would like to give and offer mine to others on their VSG journey.

5 Months Post-Op - Down 68 Pounds and New NSVs

by Ann2 on 01-18-2015 at 08:55 AM
After 5 months post-op, this morning I weighed 167.4 pounds. I'm down from 235.6 (which I weighed 2-1/2 months prior to surgery). I've lost 68.2 pounds total (which includes losses from my own pre-op diet and the doc's pre-op diet) and 48.6 pounds since surgery on August 18, 2014.

Weight loss this month slowed to 7 pounds from monthly losses that have averaged 10.5 pounds. Toward the end of Month Four my bariatric P.A. urged me to start raising my daily cals from 800 toward 1,000,

Today is exactly 4 months post-op for me. Since many people want to hear about others' experiences, here are my results so far (all in pounds):

At the first surgeon consultation I weighed 235.6
After my own two-month diet I was down 11.6
After my surgeon's two-week pre-op diet, down another 8.0
1 month post-op, down another 10.4
2 month post-op, down another 11.8
3 months post-op, down another 8.8
4 months post-op, down another 10.4

Two Months Post-Op -- Down 24 Lbs. Post-Op, Down 42 Lbs. Total

by Ann2 on 10-18-2014 at 07:23 AM
And that headline pretty much says it all.

Very, very happy with how it's going. Had a super good VSG surgery and an easy-peasy recovery.

Four weeks post-op, I got a bonus surgery -- gallbladder was removed.

Was hitting protein targets (60-80 grams) by Day Five. Haven't thrown up once. Am now able to drink water easily, almost like pre-op. Energy is coming back strong. Clothes sizes are down from 20 to 16. Looking much cuter.
