Happy Labor Day! Thank you! I can't wait to chew lol. I go for my 2-week post op appointment tomorrow. I'm excited about this new journey! Was your family supportive when you decided to do this?

Wow 30 pounds in 2 months is great!!! Keep up the great work! Thanks, I'll check out unjury.com today because I really want to make sure I get in my Protein. Well after Wednesday I can start pureed foods so did you mix protein with your pureed food? Yes, I was so happy when I found out about sugar free popsicles. They've been my saving grace - Lol. Have you been to any support group meetings in Durham? If so, when & where are they held? I had my surgery done in Cary but I don't really want to drive there for meetings.

Thanks! I hve lost about 30 lbs so far! The Protein that worlds best for me is Unjury, it was recommended by my nutritionist, it's a little on the expensive side but it works the best for me. I only know for it to be sold on the Unjury.com website and they ship pretty fast also. They hve large containers or packets that I can buy to try. The unflavored protein I normally drink with OJ, and like a V-8 juice. And u can almost not taste anything! I love it. That's the only thing I've used for protein. They also hve a strawberry sorbet that is pretty good also. I also have some chocolate Splenda that I haven't tried that u mix with milk, but I do the unflavored every day sometimes twice a day. Oh btw sugar free Popsicles are the best when just gettin started. Makes u feel a little normal. Congrats!! Ask me anything at anytime!! :-)

I responded to this earlier under Yahoo but I just see where it didn't deliver -
Congratulations! I'm happy for you. How much have you lost so far? I had it
on last Wednesday 8/21/2013 when I had my gall bladder removed. Can you
give me some suggestions for some good liquid Protein? Or maybe a shake
that you can't smell the Protein? I did pretty good with the Protein shakes before surgery, but they are not good now.

I set June 22,2013 in Tijuana. Same day surgery, because I did not want to sit around and get scared about it. I'm excited, two months will fly by.

So sorry for your lost, you will have an angel over your surgeon's shoulder.

Take care of yourself.
That egg drop soup sounds like a good idea.
My mom was from New Orleans and cooked with sachets. She would fill little squares of cheesecloth with the seasonings of her choice and toss them in whatever she was cooking. This way she got the flavor she wanted without having to worry about fishing out or straining seasoning flakes out of food items she didn't want people to see this flakes.

Yes that was big challenge for me . And I tried to eat everything up before those two weeks

My biggest challenge is getting myself prepared for my surgery... I am so excited knowing that I am so close to getting my surgery date, yet I am so nervous about it as well. Another challenge I have is wanting to eat everything up before I start my 2 week Optifast. Can anyone help?

Have some discomfort. Nurses have been great. I dislike the catheter but am glad I don't have to struggle to get up and pee right now. Overall doing well and blessed that no nausea as of yet.

The shakes are good but if you can ready your Protein that will help keep you full longer and shower digesting. Your body can only absorb so much protein at a time. Which may be why you aren't losing right now. It is frustrating but listen to your NUT, you'll get there.

Hello everyone

Hello there, I had my vsg January 24, 2012. I paid cash for my surgery which makes this even worse for me. I find I am getting back into old habits. I am eating so much junk it's not funny. I started at 219 and got down to 173. I went from a size 18 almost 20 to a size 12-14. By some miricle, I am still able to fit into this size. I may have gained about 7 or 8 pounds though. I don't exercise like I should. I have started walking more recently.
I am so disgusted with myself. I would have probably gained everything back if it weren't for I don't have room to put it. On a regular day, I was eating a box of chocolates, a bag of nuts, or some sort of sweet and also maybe a bag of Cheetos. I made up my mind last week to lay off the sweets. I bought fruit yesterday and a bag of Cheetos. I have been eating the fruit and the Cheetos lasted 2 days.
I paid good money for this surgery and can't believe I'm throwing it away like this. I travel a great deal for my job and right now I am in a hotel room with a small refrigerator and a microwave. So I can't do alot of healthy food shopping if I have to refrigerate it. I will be here for a few months so it's hard to grocery shop. I need some sort of encouragement and a kick in the butt. I would still like to lose about 25-30 pounds. Somehow I need to start this thing over. Any suggestions?
