Recommended Posts

I'm new to Vst in the beginning process ' date=' how long does it take after first evaluation? I know its different per insurance company, mines doesn't have a wait period though. Receiving some adverse reactions some people are thinking its the easy way out . Any advice?[/quote']

Stay away from negative critical folks during your journey!

My surgeon required clearance from various specialist and every appt resulted in another appt. it took me 6 1/2 months, my insurance was the least of the problem, they approved my surgery instantly. Best of luck on your journey!

Sorry to hear that! What are you struggling with?

I am loving the Protein shakes in the morning. My favorite so far has been almond milk, 1 T. natural Peanut Butter, 1 T. sugar free instant choc pudding mix, and 3 stevia packets. Mixing it with crushed ice it ends up a smoothie. Oh, and a scoop of whey Protein (unflavored).

Eating tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and Cavender's Greek seasoning as my "fruit" and a Protein Bar for lunch. Not thrilled with dinner this week. Had 1/2 a hamburger patty with squash Tues, and Wed. Last night had a few shrimp on a very bad salad from Panera bread. I have some sugar free popsicles to chomp on when I get the munchies in the evening. Can't believe it's Friday already, though. This week has flown by and I expect next week to fly as well. T-11 days :)

Hang in there, Dee!

8/21 here! This pre op diet is kicking my butt. My friend/coworker said you're cranky today...here have this, and brings me the other half of her donut. I wanted to high five her in the face! It was a nice gesture tho, she loves donuts. If I can get through this, I can get through anything!

Was sleeved on 6th so day 4. Home and very comfortable with no pain but light headed and a bit shaky - probably from not eating? Just feel excited and saw scales already down 7kg. Seems fast and I guess it will go up and down a bit. Trying to keep moving, will walk fast, move arms around etc. Maybe swing some food cans ?? LOL They say weights are good. :rolleyes: I just wish the smell of food or thought of it was not so very enticing. :wacko:

I am Aug 21st too! I think I would want to smack her for bringing that donut by me. My husband said I was cranky yesterday. I am on my 3rd day pre-op diet. The first went ok, I was hungry throughout the day and went to bed hungry. Yesterday my stomach wasn't begging as much for some "regular" food and today was better than yesterday. I hope it continues to get better. You can get through this...a lot of people have gone before us and have been successful. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
