Start of VSG Journey
WORTH IT$103,000
Hey Im interested in getting the gastric sleeve. I work out more than I eat but I still cant seem to loose any weight. SLOWED METABOLISM. Im 28 years old with my highest weight being 266 lbs and 5”7. My BMI was 41 at the start of my journey and I only suffer from PCOS. I currently weigh 244 with a BMI of 39 thanks to my doctors weight loss program. My insurance does cover the procedure and I have gone through the 3 month waiting period of doctor visits, psych evals, and medical clearances. My first Appt which they call Appt Zero was March 15, 2018. My last Appt was June 4th. My insurance took less than a week to approve me for surgery. Im scheduled for July 23 and I have to start my liquid diet July 9. In these pics I was at my highest weight???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Last Week of Solid Food
So its July 4th and Im trying to enjoy my last few days of regular food but Ive been working and I dnt eat while Im at work but I m off For the weekend so I will enjoy those last 4 days of regular food. Ive been trying different protein drinks from my surgeons approved list and so far Premier Protein Peaches and Cream is the best. Starting July 9 I will be on my liquid diet and have to drink 5 shakes a day. Talk about expensive???????????????????????????????????????????? but hopefully It will all be worth it. Im going on vacation a fews days before my surgery day and will be returning the Sunday before surgery LOL I know I probably should rest but Im the type of person who has to move and do something when Im scared or nervous LOL I cant stay still????????????????????????????????????????????? One of my coworkers did the liquid diet just to encouragement me and also to loose a little weight and she lost 6 lbs in one week with no exercise. Im looking to loose another 20 lbs on the liquid diet hopefully. We will see.

Oh you haven’t had the surgery yet. the pic with the jeans i thought was the after photo. Congrats on your upcoming surgery. My daughter had this sx in March. You’ll do just fine. The chocolate and strawberry cream premier shake is great too. also, try the Walmart bends, their actually really good and a little less expensive.

Thank You and I will look into the walmart brands. Have to ask my surgeon first because they only have a few brands they want us to consume.

oh okay...yes,do exactly what they tell you to do. My daughter dint try the other brands until 3 mos after her surgery. She’s 4mpo

Liquid Diet
So Ive been on my liquid diet now for one whole weeks and Im doing terrible. I ate fruit this weekend and i hope that didn’t [RS bleep] up anything lol. I understand now why they say dnt pay attention to the scale because Ive lost so many inches and not a-lot of pounds. My pre-op appt is tomorrow so hopefully all that goes well. Ill keep updating as I move along in this process.
