Great results Kathy! Can't wait to see you at goal. =)

Hey Jeannette Just checking in to see how things are going.

Hello Luck, I'm glad I found a 3yr plus sleever on here. I am only 2 1/2 mo. out and my main concern is losing to much weight. Please tell me I will not continue to lose after reaching goal. Do you feel you are to thin?

Heart filled prayers to you and your mom in this time of sadness.

WTG!!! 54lbs =)

Hey Jeannette! How are u? Hows everthing going with getting your vsg? I'm doing 100% better than a few weeks ago. I haven't been drinking the protein shakes. They would make me sick. I need to try them again bc it seems like things that made me sick then dont bother me now. I'm down almost 40lbs! I do get a good amount of protein in from reg. food.

Welcome to the VSG boards!!!!

I see your Bday is Feb. 9th, mine is the 8th.

Hi Ericka, Hope your feeling good. I see you've already lost 35lbs!!!! You go girl. I want to see pics soon. Keep me posted. XOXO

Hi Tammy, I'm doing good down 32lbs. I hate this new site. Can't nav to good on it. So your on liquids I see. I didn't do very good on the pre-op. Thank god I only had to do it for 3 days. It's much better after surgery. No hunger! After two weeks you feel a little hunger, then it goes away again. I have to remind myself to eat. =)

Best wishes for tomorrow! XOXO

I swear I have -120% metabolism. I think its going to be slow losing from here on out! So you don't have any idea when you will have yours done? =( At first I was think about getting the band and then I read all the problems with it and I was like no way. When I found the info on the VSG and a reasonable price I swear I booked within a week and had it 4wks later. I just didn't want anything to change my mind. My husband thought I was joking until he got the credit card bill. I paid as soon as I set the appt with Melissa.

Hi Carolina, I hope all is well with you. Have you learned how to make a sweater yet...lol

Hello Jeannette, I went to GNC today and got the shake. I will try it in the morning. I kind of like the Muscle Milk. I can only drink about 1//4 of a bottle at a time. How is everything with you?

Hey Nikki, How is everything going. I hope all is well.

Good luck tomorrow! You will be sleeping alot so she will not have time teach you how to sew. =)

Hi Steph, Its been three weeks and I have lost 22lbs. I didn't spend much time with Dr. Almanza but he was very nice when I meet him. You spend most of the time at the recovery house. The day shift does not speak english very well. The night guy is Severo and is great!!! And speaks good english. He also had the sleeve done. Lepita is the nurse at the clinic and is very sweet but no english. No worries they take good care of you. I was a total baby and they still were nice! Do you have a PT coordinator? Because if you feel like they dont understand you just call your coordinator and she will help you. My coordinator is Melissa 866-310-4625. She has also had work done by the team there. Best wishes and keep me posted.

Sternum is much better! Im going to try the shakes you told me about. Everyday gets better, you can count on that! The warm liquids feel good on the tummy so bring some broth cubes with you. I wouldnt eat the broth they have because they leave it on the stove for days. Its just different in MX. BTW I like your pic.

Umm that sounds good. Im two weeks out, can I eat that?

Hi, Ok today is my two week mark. I feel much better and not as weak. The first week was hell. Every time I drank water or ate jello it hurt in my sternum area. warm stuff feels much better. I have head hunger =( I really want pizza. Thanks for the Doc info. Im going to check into him. Even though Im not have any problems. I still want a check up. Are you going alone? Keep me posted.

Carrie, I hope you are in better sprits today. Its really tuff the first two weeks. All I want is pizza...lol

Just checking on you. How are you doing? Im 13 days out and much better. Just a little head hunger. =(

Lol...Good idea.

As long as you add things like cream of wheat ( very thin) to your diet you should be ok for work. By last friday I was so weak just from having liquids. I was faint. But now that I stopped just liquids I havent lost anymore weight. The plane was a little cramped so try to book you seat on an exit row.

Hi Carrie, Thank you for all the nice comments on my Pics. My son just finished having a temper tantrum in that pic. He didn't get the toy he wanted...lol
