Omg my hw was 312 and starting weight was 275 ???? I’m currently 257

You’re doing amazing I am 2 weeks out and 9.8 pounds down as of today. I started purée today! I made egg salad and I am making taco soup. They will both last me all week. I will be doing refried beans and cheese, ricotta bake, and chicken salad next week.

That is so awesome! My surgery was 12/30. I’m having a hard time meeting my goals ??

Congrats, that is so awesome!!! ???

Are you eating enough? I heard people talk about a stall 2-5 weeks out, I’m sure it will pass soon! Just keep it up!!

I am 11 days out from surgery I was cleared to start purée diet on Jan 13th ? I did a weight check in today and I am down 8.4 pounds from surgery day weight! This liquid diet has been quiet a struggle for me.

The hardest part is remembering to sip water. For me mainly the mental part of not being able to eat like a regular portioned plate. I was a very fast eater before and drank so much drink during meal time. Separating the two was a real struggle. The gas pain after surgery is probably the worst part in that aspect.

I have BCBS and I had to do the 6 months. They did say they have to give a decision within a 15 day period of receiving the paperwork from your doctor. In all honesty, I would not have been ready for this if i didn’t go through the 6 months of preparing myself. I am a week and half post op and it’s very hard even with the long preparation. I would suggest giving yourself a few months to prepare before going into surgery. However, do what’s best for you, you know your body and your mindset!

Pain is still a struggle, found out they tore a muscle under my diaphragm and that’s where all the pain is coming from. It makes it hard to breath and when I stand or walk my stomach pulls down on it and makes it cramp! ???? I need it to hurry up and heal!

Hi everyone I really appreciate they words of encouragement. Procedure was at 10 today. The pain meds they give don’t even touch the pain and I don’t know what to do I keep telling them. All they come back with is well they cut your insides and outside so your gonna have pain....

I am so nervous I feel like vomiting! ??

That is so so awesome congrats!! ? you did great. Yeah my BMI is 48 right now but was 53 when I start the 6 month diet.

I already have slight hair loss with PCOS so I take HSN vitamins but stopped for my two weeks diet. I would like to find some good ones to take. I feel like I am going to have some bad hair loss ??

Did anyone get Barimelts? For the schedule, how many times a day did you take the multivitamin?

Yeah, i will be so happy when I reach a healthy weight and can work out freely without pain. If it does helps in anyway with this I will be grateful so weeks are bad with migraines almost everyday. So a week without a migraine would be awesome!

Thank you so much for those encouraging words. I am hoping it helps it and so is the doctor. If not then I will need Shunt surgery. Hoping for the best. I have 9 days until surgery ???

I called them and they told me I could take Zicam, Airborne, or Emergen-c. I got Zicam and Airborne. I tried the Zicam first and glad I did. I feel so much better and able to breathe!

Will this cause a delay in surgery? Has anyone went into surgery with sinus congestion. It’s not severe, what can I take to clear this?

Anyone have VSG that has Pseudotumor Cerebri? Did this help it go away and with migraines?

Thank you for that, I struggle with a few health conditions and hope it doesn’t affect my weight loss after surgery. ?

How much did you lose in the first month?

How did you get so lucky to only do it one week? ?

I’m on day 3 of the pre-op diet. So far so good ?

I am feeling pretty good! Day 3 is off to a good start! Thank you! I am excited but so nervous, this is my first surgery ever! ??

Surgery is on 12/30, on day 2 of the pre-op diet!!
