Well, it's been one month since I had my sleeve done(VSG). I've lost 31 lbs and 18 inches so far. The amount that I can eat is about 75% less than before the surgery. I drink my water, at least I try to drink above my lower limit. And had been slacking taking my vitamins, but that changed today. I haven't really had any carbs unless its been in the fruits, veggies and proteins that I have.
I really have thoughts about gaining the weight back...what if it happens to me, what if the surgery really doesn't help me as a tool to lose my weight, what if it wasn't done correctly? I have to stop iffing all over myself and take this day by day.
I feel blessed to have had the WLS and I will try everything and listen to my dr's and nutritionist advice to continue working my sleeve. I get moments of panic but talk myself through it and usually feel better after I have voiced my concerns on a the great support forum I found www.obesityhelp.com
There are a lot of people who have gone through this wls as well as other surgeries. We are all there to support each other and share our experiences. Not sure I would have made it up to this point had I not find that forum.
Will take a new picture soon to show my progress. I have a before picture and it scares me a little looking back a month ago.
