I can only suggest that you keep on reading about the VSG and bariatric surgery in general. There are some good books out there even if they don't cover the VSG in detail.

totally me too!!!!!!! Just had all my testing done. Psych eval on Monday. Then they submit the stuff to insurance and I wait for the qualification. It sucks waiting but obssessing about the surgery and checking all the realted websites helps pass the time lol :) Obesity Help. com is a good one. Not as good as this one I'm finding but the people are super nice. Also I am compiling a list of shake recipes for the 2weeks before and after surgery and tasting the different brands. So I will post a blog to review my favs.

If you haven't already, you could check out,

http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

She is a RNY patients has lots of yummy recipes for different food stages, and some tips on WLS in general.

Also, Fatty Fights back is a great WLS blog. You would have to go way back through her archives because I think she's 2yrs out, and she had VSG.

I'm not a book reader, but I love word puzzles, and mindless internet games.

The closet clean up is a great time filler. You can come do mine if you wanna! ! ! Just kidding, and fingers crossed you don't have too long to wait.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
