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.

A new chapter...
Sometimes in life you have to do what you're most scared of doing. Step out of your comfort zone...remember what you deserve and don't settle for anything less. It's time to re-create myself and learn who I want to be/I am ... again. Employee/peer/manager.... another cog/different cog in the wheel.

ReplyDeleteThanks Holly! I'm feeling great!!! Maintaining for the last few months between 132-135 lbs and ... really... easily. My goals are around making sure I eat protein first of all.... after that, whatever I can get in, I'm happy. I get around 1100 cal a day now (on average) with most of my cals coming from protein sources.
ReplyDeleteThe is definitely a source of stress for me but I'm dealing as I can. It's all new to me and I'm definitely not confident but I'll learn to be!
