Water is sooo much easier to drink lately. I still can't drink too much at a time because I will end up with nausea but at least it doesn't hurt anymore.
I started fruit. I love strawberries. 2 and I'm full and oh so happy. Gawd they're so good.
Hubby made pork lettuce wraps for us last night for dinner. I only had 1 and I was stuffed. It was hard for me to stop and not finish the one I had because my mouth was so happy but afterwards, sleevie let me know that I'd had too much and I should have had 1/2 to 3/4 of it instead. Lesson learned.
My 1 month surgiversary is on Friday the 27th of May!
I need to remember to measure this week and post them here so I can keep track. I hope to see some impressive things in the inch loss department. It's funny how when you're sleeved, losses like 20 lbs seem "easy" and like you're a slow loser. Pre-VSG I would have been beside myself to lose 20 lbs in a month but now, its easy to feel like a bit of a failure when you compare to others in the same time frame/journey. Worst thing to do is compare but it happens whether you mean it to or not.
My journey through the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery, my challenges and all the thoughts that spill out...
About VSG
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a surgical weight loss tool in which the stomach is reduced to about 25% of its original size, by surgical removal of a large portion of the stomach, following the major curve. The open edges are then attached together (often with surgical staples, glue and possibly cauterization) to form a sleeve or tube with a banana shape. The procedure permanently reduces the size of the stomach and is performed laparoscopically and is not reversible.
