Wow great job!!!! May I ask how many calories you have been taking in every day? 51 year old woman VSG DATE: 10/28/17 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 239 GOAL: Healthy and hard! 140-ish???

I am exactly the same way! I can drink 12 oz easily within 20 min. I feel FINE, great even! I went back on my Premiere Protein shakes Saturday night. Again no problem at all. I have also been eating soft foods. Hummus (seriously like heaven), canned chicken breast with dill pickle juice and a tiny bit of mayo, soups..., again Im feeling great. I did experience my first "dumping syndrome" yesterday. OMG I FELT HORRID for about 20-30 min. Turns out it was due to me putting my hummus in broth. BAD IDEA! A friend gave me a tip that I should have no more than 1/2-3/4 of a jello cup at each meal. No liquids 20 min before or after and none during eating. My friend had a great saying *The difference between feeling full and "Oh ****" is just one bite. 51 year old woman VSG DATE: 10/28/17 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 239 GOAL: Healthy and hard! 140-ish???

All is going well, I feel fantastic! Slight hunger, decent amount of energy. Im having NO PROBLEMS getting my fluids in or protein. Actually Im concerned that my sleeve is too big.... anyone have this issue??? I haven't weighed myself since surgery, but I will when I get home to Texas today or tomorrow. 51 year old woman VSG DATE: 10/28/17 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: SW: 245 GOAL: Healthy and hard

Dont bring expensive things, you wont need them. I went to BariatricPal MX and they have a small safe in each hospital room and everyone speaks English there. You are all good [emoji4] 51 year old woman VSG DATE: 10/28/17 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: SW: 245 GOAL: Healthy and hard

I just read a LOT of incorrect information in the comments above. You are correct, watch the documentary called "The Science of Fasting". It is not on youtube, I saw it on amazon Prime video. Or google Dr Valter Longo he is a world renowned biochemist who studies gerontology at USC. His work and the work at a Fasting Treatment Center in Russia is amazing!!!! Here is a link to an article in Science Magazine http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/02/five-day-fasting-diet-could-fight-disease-slow-aging 51 year old woman VSG DATE: 10/28/17 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 249 SW: --- GOAL: 135

On Day 5 of Pre Op diet I had lost 10 lbs. I have 5 more days to go. Surgery is on 10/28 51 year old woman VSG DATE: 10/28/17 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 249 SW: --- GOAL: 135

That was a great point and sound advice. I haven't even thought about Thanksgiving or Christmas &NYE. I plan to use the VSG tool to its fullest benefit. Im going to somewhat "skip" the holidays this year. 51 year old woman VSG DATE: 10/28/17 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 249 SW: --- GOAL: 135

October 28, 2017 in Mexico. Getting nervous!!! I wish I wouldn't have decided to go alone. However my mind changes every 30 minutes! Lol 51 year old woman VSG DATE: 10/28/17 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 249 SW: --- GOAL: 135

@killian I just got the stretchy "sippy cup lids" from amazon today. My surgery is Saturday and I pick up my passport Friday! Just in time. Sh*t just got real! On the bright side I have dropped 13 lbs in 5 days from my pre op diet[emoji4] I was SHOCKED. The only reason I weighed myself was to put it on here. Im not a big believer in scales. I also quit smoking [emoji41]. Basically I now look like an anxiety ridden chubby lady whose pants are now too big[emoji23] Hope you are well shipmate. Catch me up on your journey. Have a fine, fine Navy day! 51 year old woman VSG DATE: 10/28/17 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 249 SW: --- GOAL: 135
