I think it is interesting, that the decreased Ghrelin secretion after surgery, can induce depression. What will make the appetite go away, can also give us a depression?

A trick My Surgery is on the 30th November :-) One of my tricks is, to hold my nose when drinking it. When the smell is gone, it tastes better. Smell has a lot to do with the perception of taste. Good luck to us

I do not think there is anything wrong with me. I am having surgery th 30th of November and haven't been scared yet. I am so convinced, that everything will go well - and if anything is wrong, like a leak, they will fix it. Perhaps I am too positive and not realistic. On the other hand, it will make my operation experience better not being afraid. I just give myself to it. I am not looking forward to it either. Maybe fear will come to me:-) It's OK I KNOW there will be good food in the future, just in small amount. The Protein thing is just a short face in a long life. And those protins are my little friendly helpers. They are repairing my tissue, and building my muscles. Muscles that will be used as aq machinery using my fat-tissue. :cheer2:YAY! And Proteins will help my neurons ad amino-acids, so I will keep my brain in shape. Proteindrinks and Water will be my best new friends in recovery after surgery.:hug::sign46: Greetings from Copenhagen

FANTASTIC

LOL!!!!!

Thank you for your story! It makes me feel, that I have made the right decision!

Fantastic, Ladybee!

I have a "low" BMI as well. I will be operated in Arhens in 9 days. My surgeon told me, that http://www.ifso.com/ does not have the same retrictions on a VSG as a bypass operation. There fore many surgeons outside USA will operate at a BMI of 30 - Sweden and Greece in Europe, and a lot of other places. Cross m fingers for you.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations

WOW - what a post. And what a cool strong woman, you are. You are doing so great - congratulations on how far you have come already. And with that attitude, you will do soooooo great! I am sure, that next summer - you will have come a loooooong way. Proove the haters wrong. Love yourself the right way. What a great feeling it must be, next summer, when you BMI has climbed even further down, and you are standing proud - glowing of health and beauty!. HUGS from Denmark
