Hi All! :}

I'm in the Ithaca area & going through Cayuga Med with Dr. Bollo. Just curious if there's any others out there!

Hi! sorry...I got away from VST for a bit once I went back to work! I'm 6wks 5 days out & down 46#! I had to go back on full liquids at 4.5 wks due to a vomiting issue' date=' but sloooooowly reintroducing mushies. How are you???

Good thanks finished my last nut appointment the other day! Talked to coordinator and now just have to wait and see:/ they said they will call me when everything is finally submitted so I will know when the clock starts. Glad to hear you are doing good! What kind of vomit issues were you having?

Hi! I was having trouble keeping anything non-liquid down. I am actually still on about an 80% liquid/mushy diet. They aren't sure why this is happening. I don't have a stricture or blockage or leak (although that was the initial concern). I just have a really picky sleeve. I can only eat about 1-2 ounces at a time, depending on the day/meal. I'll be 15 weeks on Wednesday.

How are you doing?

From weeks 5 til 13 I dry heaved every single day over and over. It was awful. I am 6mths out now and feel great! I go for my 6mth chk up Friday.

Wow! Sounds about like me lol it was awful

im glad you're doing well! i cant believe its been 6 months ready! feels like just a month or so since we all met on this thread hows the progress been?

after I gave in & started back on liquids it all started feeling better. I transitioned back to mushies about 2 weeks later & have tried solids but they just hurt. I can't tolerate animal Proteins at all. I'm now lactose intolerant. And Im not cleared to have raw veggies, yet. It's been a slowwwww process. But the weight loss has been decent, so I can't really complain. They keep encouraging me to re-try more solids, but I haven't had much luck. My NUT is afraid I'll get (or already am) mentally stuck, so they want me to start seeing an eating disorder specialist at an outpatient clinic. :/

Ive lost 85lbs since surgery. Its slowed down some but i am still happy with my progress. I can't wait til im in oneder land. I started in May 2012 at 353lbs, surgery was 329lbs, and now i am 244lbs. Still a ways to go but im getting there

WTG! That's an awesome loss so far!

Mine has slowed to a crawl recently. I used to lose 4-6#/wk & now I've only lost 4# in 3 wks. It's very frustrating.
