I am 4months out of my surgery (VSG) and I feel good! Way more confidence! But I was looking into getting a TT done but. .. I'm 24 yrs old single no children, I'm not sayin i'm gonna go get preggers right now but being that I've been big all my life I feel like my "dating life" is just going to start and I want to look my best so I want a TT done by like next year or so, my question is would I be able to have kids after that? Any advice is welcome. I like realistic answers but idk..... please help! !

Troll?

Also..you aren't eating great or exercising. Why would you think you should be losing weight?

To be honest I knew for a fact that the surgery WAS NOT the easy way out but I think deep down inside I kinda did, I wanted my surgery & body to do the work instead of me..... which I now know it's super wrong but the important part is that I've come to realize it's not, AT ALL, and now I wanna put in my part (hoping it's not to late)

chicken vegetable Soup - I can eat it for days

BBQ pulled pork in slow cooker

Spinach lasagna

chicken or tuna salad

That does sound good.... gonna have to look for the spinach lasagna recipe!

I feel like my weight loss journey is taking too long. I don't feel like I'm in a good place right now kinda like I've reached a stand still... is this normal? I'm going to start exercising more now and throw in weights but I need to eat healthier (I know) but I can't think of stuff to make... I bought a recipe book but it's like crazy stuff. I want simple healthy stuff I can make quickly and take too work... any suggestions as to certain exercises or recipe books? ? Please help!

I am 22 days post op and I wanna drink! I dnt mean to sound like a alki, but I have a work event going on. What's the earliest you have started drinking, and any regrets?

See I feel like I bug my doctor waaaay too much with little stupid questions. ... lol but I guess. I just wonder if anyone has gone on rides, and how long they waited

How soon until I can get on rides? My op date is 5/23

Thank you sooo much! Big help! And good motivation!

Short answer? YES! although I totally understand! Imagine your answer if i asked that?

I know I am supposed to be on strained food diet for 17 days, but my family is going to the lake this weekend to bbq and go boating. My 17 days ends the 12th and the lake is on the 9th. Would it be bad if I ate some chicken that weekend... or shrimp? Lol this is me being a fat girl but man! Help please! Did anyone else stop liquid stage early?

You guys are all very very helpful! !! I would have never thought of all this on my own. ... even tho it's all common stuff. Lol thanks so much!

Y'all have very good points I guess theirs no real way around it. .... I need protein! Lol, the only way I can calm myself is by reminding my self it will all be worth it soon enough! Thanks guys!

So I am on 11 days post op and I have just been a little grumpy girl. .... everything and everyone annoys me so much, and I feel weak. I am not drinking enough Protein and this I know for a fact, but I can't stand Isopure or Unjury. And I barely finish 1 Protein Shake a day (about 30grams) does anyone have a better way to get protein? Is their protein capsules I can take? ? Also something to calm me down. ... I'm pretty sure my family and friends are tired of my crabbyness. Lol

I'm on the same exact boat! So Im assuming I can't jump in a pool just yet either huh...

Did anyone get blood blisters by your incisions? ? I got a few and Idk what to do about them.

Cool. ... I start work tomorrow and I don't wanna feel too weak

I'm supposed to be taking my Vitamins but I haven't bought the Bariatric vitamins do you guys think that a regular Vitamin & the regular Calcium would be the same thing? Or would it be too hard on the stomach? they're chewable.< /p>

I ordered the chicken Soup flavored Protein from unjury and personally thought it was disgusting. I returned it and got my money back.

My Personal opinion is I thought it was disgusting too and so is Isopure I did not like it, any suggestions on what I can take other than that?

It helps with the surgical gas!! I had some issues with my heart rate/very low bp and so they didn't have me walking around in the hospital as much as other people usually do' date=' and those helped SO MUCH with the gas. Definitely pick some up if you can! Good luck!! [/quote']

Oh for sure I will! Thanks!

I took a little pillow and my favorite fleece throw- I kept getting cold after surgery - really comforting.

My mom told me to bring one but I was like Nah I got this. .. lol now ima freeze! Thanks tho

Lip balm' date=' your own toothbrush and toothpaste, biotene mouth spray, gas-x strips, deodorant and your favorite tea (if you like tea).

I brought a ton of other stuff and only used the things I mentioned above![/quote']

Ahhh! !!! I was going to bring gas x but I thought i'd be exaggerating! Darn, almost had everything. ... ill buy it when I arrive

I am on my way to the airport. .... and I hope I brought everything. Lol, my surgery is in the morning what should I take with me?

Yup I had about yeah I had about 5 strawberries to kill the temptations now I'm just back on the pre op diet see how that works for me. So you got your surgery already?
