Reached 140 today :)
I'm actually starting to get excited now about seeing the 130's on the scale. I'm still occasionally nervous that I won't be able to stop the weight loss but I'm just trying to focus on eating right and hopefully I can maintain in the 130's.
I've been reading alot of accounts lately of other sleevers and how much they can eat. It used to baffle me that post-op someone could eat 2 eggs. Now I see that it appears to be more the norm than the exception. I truly believe that my sleeve is small. My surgeon uses a 32f bougie to do the surgery but I think perhaps my anatomy is such that my stomach itself is just short. I can barely get a single egg down in a serving even still at 9 months out. When we go out for breakfast I will order 1 egg over medium and a side of bacon. I eat 1 slice of bacon and hubby gets the rest. I can usually get about 1/2-3/4 of the egg down. Any more than that and I'm feeling nausea and very burpy.
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.
