I am having surgery on 9/25. I'm just ready to go and get it over with. What do you guys have ready at home for post op?

How do you make that? Sounds good!

Theres a package of them on the bean aisles jus follow the directions on the back... I cook them overnite in a crockpot

3 week check up. Hopefully going to be able to start soft foods!! Sick of creamed soups

I am only down 15 lbs since surgery' date=' 9/25. I didn't lose anything last week, but I think it's because I'm struggling with my protein. [/quote']

Hello, sept. 25,2012 here too. Started at 229 down to 184, 45 pds down. Still working on eating and drinking. Just had another surgery unrelated to vsg. Having a hard time with everything. Hopefully in 6 weeks I will be able to get moving with the exercise. Hope everyone have a Happy Holiday!!

Looking good! Keep it up!

Another 25th sleever here. I'm down to 186 from 236. I'm not a fan of always being cold though I still have a few minor issues I'm working through, it's still a struggle to eat dense proteins or even eat more than 2oz at a time.

Happy 3 months and 1 day September 25th sleevers! Can you believe it's been 3 months already? Made my Christmas goal of 189 and total of 68 pounds down. Now onto 175 for my 40th birthday in mid February. Happy new year and you everyone!

Hi I'm a 9/11 sleever. I to have had my stalls but I am pretty pleased with my 70 LB weight loss. I still have a long way to go before I reach my long term goal of 165. I've gone from 330 to 260.

Hello everyone!! Haven't been on in a long time!! Hope everyone is doing great!! I have lost 53lbs since surgery, only like 2lbs to be in the 100's but I seem to be in a stall pattern. My 3 month blood work showed my Vitamin D was very low, iron was border line and potassium was low. So added a prescription of D, over the counter iron and eating a banana a day!! Still struggle with getting the 80 - 100 grams of protein a day but am trying to make every meal count!!! Had started a pretty good exercise routine but got sick the day after Christmas and have fallen off the exercise wagon!!! Going to get that started again today!! I have found that if I eat too much I get the hiccups and I have started losing hair, it's not noticable to any one but me at this point. Have a great day!!!

I also have begun to lose hair. The last couple weeks glad has been horrible. I researched a lot and I'm uping my vitamins and biotin intake. I too have a hard time getting all the proteins in..no matter how hard I try. Congratulations on the weight loss I know its a wonderful feeling.

80-100?!?! That's gotta be impossible! My surgeon suggests 60 grams of protein a day. I'd had to drink 3-4 protein shakes a day to get hat much!
