I had my first education class in December of 2009. We go away for the month of January and did my next class on VSG in March. I had my doctor visit in April and had to loose 20 lbs before I had surgery in Oct. I did it very slowly but did it. I look forward to being in size 12's or so.. I am 4-11 and ready for health. Going up and down stairs has been a chore. It has gotten easier. ...

My beginning weight picture. I am 5
MN Mary commented on imblessed333's gallery image in Member Photo Gallery
If I could figure out how to put picutures up I would. This is the hazard of being 61.... I too am short. 4-11 Life is good. I am very excited about being thinner and more healthy. I have 6 grandchildren and would love to continue a strong relationship with them. Hope all is well with you. I love your picture. Do you have support at home? My husband has been a blessing. He makes my breakfast every a.m. and does our grocery shopping. Reallly pays attention to the protein, fat and sugar in foods. Talk soon Mary -
I'm blessed too!!! Had my surgery Oct 6 and from pre and post op I am down 34 lbs. I am very happy with the results and I am not missing eating large portions. A taste of food is what I get and I am happy with that. When do you have your surgery. Be safe.

Hello,
I made it with the grandkids. I am now 2 wks and 1 day after surgery and have not had any pain at all. I went scrapbooking today and hit a wall 4 hours after being at Archivers. Went home. I am eating most foods. I had a hernia repair, and gall bladder removed. I have been blessed... How are you doing? Any foods you cannot eat? Do you get your protein in and liquids?

5 Weeks Out - Everything Tastes Awful
MN Mary replied to susieq's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, I see you are on week 5. I hope this change in your taste is temporary. Your ticker tape: does it reflect the weight you lost pre op? In 5 weeks how much have you lost? Me well I am on week two and starting to eat real food. I lost almost 20 lbs pre op so it will be interesting to see how much weight I start melting off. I am tired of being unhealthy. I now have a belly button Seems so little. I look forward in our chatting. Blessings, MN Mary -
So how much weight have you lost... How did you introduce food? I had my surgery on Oct. 6 and went from clear liquids for 6 days now pureed and in a week mushies. Mary

You could call the office and ask to talk to Dr.? When they tell you he is no longer with the practice tell them you are a classmate going through town and wanted to have lunch with him. Then ask for his number where he can be reached. or his cell number..... I work for doctors and sometime you have to be creative. Mary

Severe itching at incision sites - any suggestions?
MN Mary replied to PamelaAM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
HELLO FROM MN Try an ice pack for a few mins. Doesn't heal it but will take the itchy feeling away for a while and it only does this for a few days. No more than 5 mins. at a time Blessings, Mary -

Does it get better that you can sip more in a time? Next week I start pureed foods. what would you suggest that is easiest. Will I ever be abel to eat a normal meal meat and salad?
