I started this on June 8 and we are November 23 and I've hit every single one of my nvs items! Wow

I started at 331 my heaviest- surgery aug 4 2014 was 302 today 255lbs

I'm excited to be writing this as I approach my two month anniversary from surgery. I'm doing wonderful! I feel fantastic and have dropped a ton of weight and am starting to see some of my early on goals met. I couldn't have imagined 2 months ago that I would have met some of these items but I did. Now to make some new items on the list..

How's the post op going?

I'm 4 weeks post op and had a number of items on my list. Sit on a plane without a seat belt extender - did that today Cross my legs when I sit - did that today Going for walks comfortably Those are a few I have already hit

I had my VSG done in Tijauna 3 weeks ago. My regular physician along with the company that I went through is doing after care. I have contact with the surgeon if needed, but haven't needed it. who did you go through. Oh and I'm in Canada.

I didn't die, my stomach is fine. I worry about leaks when the swelling goes, I worry that I did some damage. But I don't think I did. I start full liquids next week and can't bloody weight. this has been a long three weeks!! the next shall pass a little quicker as there is more variety in the diet then I'm on to 1 week of softs, and then regular food! Whew! THis has been a lot of work and a definite challenge.

I'm upset with my self I'm 2.5 weeks post op and I poured my son a bowl of chips and popped one in my mouth! I guess out of habit as I didn't realize it until it was too late.- I'm still on liquids until next week, at which time I move to full liquids. Hopefully all is okay and I don't do damage!

I'm down 28 lbs since surgery!!!

I had my surgery as well on aug 4. They have me on liquids for another week yet! I can't wait to start full liquids!!!!

Surgery was aug 4 still on clears off them next week! I'm craving real food something fierce!!!

Mine was August 4. Just 1.5 weeks and lost 14 lbs. I'm on clears for another 2 weeks. Feeling great except for lack if energy! Less or virtually no calorie intake = tire body! Good luck you will soon see those little victories

I was sleeved aug 4! All is well on a three week liquid so sick of broths!!!!

Had my surgery on August 4 and have hit some items on my list! yippee!!!

I also am 6 days out. However my surgeon put me on a clear liquid for 3 weeks. She told me that eating anything with protein will not be good to my new tummy. Perhaps it's the protein or dairy as I feel great! Good luck

I had the sleeve yesterday doing pretty good. Pain is manageable, lots of gas pain! But all is well. They are sending me for a leak test tomorrow and hopefully I get discharged.

Aug 4

I had to have my pre op diet and do it for 2 months. I was surprised at the ease it was done. for instance my diet the first month was a high protein diet under 1000 calories a day and less than 50 grams of carbs a day. then I moved onto a more strict diet which was a liquid diet / soft foods under 800 calories a day less than 35 grams of carbs meeting 80-100 grams of protein a day. this was hard, but i did it. then the final 2 weeks, and I'm off to surgery on monday, was a clear liquid diet. Jello, broth and protein shakes. that's it! total loss 30lbs and i'm okay. good luck!

Wishing you luck! I go August 4, 2014. Just finishing my pre op diet and down over 20 lbs.

So I haven't hit a lot of the items I posted but I have hit a few. I head for surgery in less than a week. I'm down 15 lbs in 5 weeks! I can now put my shoes on without discomfort and walk my dogs without pain!

Ok started liquids today! Missed the sensation of chewing at supper tonight! Hope it goes away- not hungry tho

I'm starting my liquids on Monday. Just finished a 4 week high protein diet. The first two weeks basically had me figuring out what I could and couldn't eat so I didn't seem to loose much. In the last week though I dropped 6 lbs. I was down another 1 lbs today. I guess that is mainly water weight? My bladder seems to be going every hour so I guess that would justify the weight loss? Like I said on Monday I start liquids I'm a little scared. I'm scared I'm going to miss chewing; I'm scared I'm going to be hungry, I'm just simply scared!

I go for surgery aug 4 - in Mexico with dr pompa! Anyone else with dr pompa? Also on a 6 week pre op! Week 1 was hard this week so far ok- down 1 lbs .

I'm scheduled for aug 4. Just started a 6 week per op! So far it's been hard but mainly because I'm on holidays right now for a wedding! I'm home next week so hopefully I can kick it into high gear!

Ohhh boy I forgot about a lot of those things. Today I bent over to pick something up and it was awful. I'm looking forward to easily doing so after the surgery!!
