VSG Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy 5 Week Update

[MsAngel0816]

Mmm I love Progresso Light. I split it in to 2 portions. I haven't thrown up at all but I did kind of gag once. Zumba is fun exercise and water aerobics too!

Hehe, your son is adorable! Loved the "mom look" you gave him ;) I really like Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred video. Totally kicks my hind end.

Thanks for posting the videos, love the honesty and learning what to expect for my upcoming VSG. Keep up the good work!

@vsgmom Thank you! You aren't lying about the 30 Day Shred. It actually made me cry it hurt so bad!

your son is adorable, he wanted to be in mommy vid ha ha!! i can so relate to what u said at the end of ur vid as i had so many issues early on and i couldnt understand how so little was experiencing the same, thanks for ur honesty!! u r doing an awesome job and yes 2lbs is about right on target, i am averaging that myself on a weekly basis, best wishes to u n have a blessed week :))

@sunkiss718 Thank you! You always keep it so real on your videos. That has been a big help for me! I think it's important for us to know what to expect.

I notice that whenever I take a drink, I swallow air and have to burp. I'm 8 weeks out and it has gotten better, for me, the farther along I get. I dread exercise, too!!!!! I have knee problems so I got The Firm Wave to use. We'll see how I like it! Have a good week!

[virtuouswoman54]

@HeidiMomOf5 Ok, it's good to know I'm not alone! I am getting a Wii Fit for Christmas so I hope that helps! You have a good week too, can't wait to watch your update!

I am proud of you Lady....you are doing fantastic! I think I will give Zumba a try...

[virtuouswoman54]

@JamcogirlGA Thank you! You should try Zumba, it is so much fun!

You are doing fantastic! Zumba is SUPER fun. I also enjoy doing the weights...but that is just me. Leslie Sansone also has walking DVDs that you can do at home. I promise you its a WORKOUT and it's fun :) Try to avoid soups once you get farther out. We consider those "slider" foods while you should be eating solid food soon. You are doing FANTASTIC! Keep up the great work.

[virtuouswoman54]

@losingitwithrebecca Thank you! I will look into getting the walking DVD. That sounds like something I can do!

[maryposa1978]

I take several dance classes a week... usuals are burlesque and belly dance... also hula dancing, hoop dancing, now flamenco... dancing is super fun, great for the soul... it makes me happy... and statistically, does the same for most women

[virtuouswoman54]

@maryposa1978 Wow! great ideas. I will look into some classes in my area. Thanks!

[elliecat81]

We are very close in dates. I think I am 2 weeks behind you. I am also really eating alot of soups too. I am also starting to exercise. I am not having alot of trouble with gas or burping...are you swolling alot of air with your meals? But I am sure there will be some1 on here that can relate to that. Thanks for the updates and keeping us informed and I know what I can look forward to. Best of luck to you.

[KrisBanded]

My new tummy is complete with a bubble also.. It bugs me as welll.. Hope it goes away..Doing good!! Keep up the good work..

"I'm a self pay patient, I paid for this, so I gotta make this happen"!! I KNOW that's right! And you are making it happen!!

[virtuouswoman54]

@seelessofme22 Thank you! Can't afford to fail!!!

[rhomeaforever]

your face is already looking different, even after only a month. your son is too cute.

[bkschee2001]

Your son and your reaction is too funny! I love it! At the same time you look great and I am enjoying your updates as mine is right around the corner. Thank you!

[virtuouswoman54]

@bkschee2001 Thank you! I just knew one of the children would come in and try to co-star! Gotta love em!

[luvmenaturally]

LOL you said you were gonna keep going with the kids :). I saw them use thos Street Striders on Biggest Loser. I wanted one until you said how much they are :O

I have those same debates with myself. I know I don't need it, and I will fight myself about it, then I just eat the fry.

You are still losing so that is great. Keep it up and don't give up! Can't wait for my surgery. I like watching your vids. They have helped me so much.

[virtuouswoman54]

@luvmenaturally I hear ya! I did think they would cost so much, but it is a new concept! Maybe they will go on sale :).

Youtube, has gotten me this far! Feel free to ask me any questions, I will be glad to help.
