Ooh, that's a good idea; I'll ask my NP if I can take half in the morning and half later in the day. Thanks! And may I say congrats on your weight loss! You're almost there!

Hi,
I'm new here, too. My surgery was June 1st and to be honest, it was a bit of struggle to lose the required 10 pounds and it has been a struggle to stay satiated since. My program requires a post-op liquid diet for 2-3 weeks. I feel rather ashamed to say this, but I'm hungry! I guess more than anything, I'm afraid that even with this surgery, I'm still going to be hungry. I'm hoping, hoping, hoping that once I go on more solid foods I won't be so obsessed with feeling hungry for food. I'm sure this didn't help you, but your post made me want to write. Good luck to you.

Spiffi, Welcome to VST! There is a ton of information available here, for certain! Good luck on your journey!

I'm 3 years post-op today. Have absolutely zero regrets, and I'm a band to vsg revisioner as well. I live a very normal life in maintenance, and currently into my 2nd pregnancy post-VSG. The sleeve is the complete opposite of the band. It's pretty awesome to be honest. I enjoy a varied diet in maintenance, but I ate low carb, high Protein through my entire losing phase (6.5 months). I started at 263lbs at 5'2", and got to goal of 150lbs in 6.5 months, lost an additional 23-25lbs over another 4.5 months getting me into maintenance.
I delivered my daughter Tatum 30 October 2011, and I'm due with Nugget (a boy, we can't decide on a name) on 17 October 2012.
