Well, I hit 11 months post-op on Saturday and still have 2 pounds remaining of the 6 pounds I acquired over Christmas - curse you delicious buttery cookies!
Ah well, I did enjoy myself and am now back on the straight and narrow - getting in my proteins, fluids and vitamins, avoiding white carbs etc ... so I am optimistic that I will soon be losing again! I was startled to gain so quickly,as I indulged - but by no means binged - over the holiday. I am wondering a bit if my new IUD, the Mirena, has anything to do with it all - but will just stick to my plan strictly and see how this month goes.
On a more positive note, despite gaining a bit of weight, I am down an entire size - fitting comfortably in size 12 jeans that I could only just barely button (and could not sit in or breathe in, or bend in...etc) a month ago. This doesn't exactly make sense to me, but I am happy to be losing inches (one each from butt and tummy this month). I can't really chalk it up to exercise either, so who knows?
I am still thrilled with my VSG - ALL of my health issues have resolved and I am pleased with my appearance also.

I am 44 and had a VSG in February 2010 - this blog is a space to share my experience, tips and tricks, and recipes as I progress.
