New to bariatric pal, I'm in St.Charles Co. Would love some local support. I had my surgery on 8/18/14 down 63lbs so far but .... The scale is stuck!!! Any suggestions?????

I had a fellow "dance mom" ask me "oh did you start another diet? Of course she couldn't of said wow you look good or anything kind! It's just easier for people to be mean!

The one thing that worked for me to relieve the gas was to walk, walk & then walk some more! I didn't take any meds just walked. Good luck it does go away about day 3. I had my VSG on 8/18/14! Doing great:)

I feel for you. I had my VSG the same day as you! I agree the sticking sweet stuff I awful & crushing your medicines yuck! Having no energy is hard too. But..... It only gets better from here. Try some cream of whatever soups with unflavored protein powder it's better (I think) stop being so hard on yourself! Do what you can do just stay hydrated & take a nap!

Hi jezika! I am a newbie too! I had my 1st Dr's appt on March 31,2014 & after all the NUT, Psych,PT & Dr's visits I was approved by July & I had my VSG on August 18 th 1 week out! It seems like it takes forever to get your surgery but.... Just keeping thinking positively! And you will get there. Good luck to you and just take it day by day. The weight didn't come on overnight. ( although it feels like it sometimes) glad to add you to "my friends"

The pre-op diet is hard at first, I was on full liquids for 2 weeks and my liver enzymes & levels were normal. But, after surgery the Dr told me my liver was really fatty! So my suggestions to you are stick with it & try & think of what you CAN do after the surgery! You wouldn't want to come this far and have to cancel the surgery because of your liver being to large & you have to be on full liquids after surgery also. Good luck you. Can do it!
