Whoops tried to to post before but it disappeared. Just wanted to thank you for your support and encouragement. It really means a lot . Besides my immediate family I have only told 2 friends. Although they are both support one lost 50 pounds on her own years ago and maintains the loss and the other has always been a size 6. So as wonderful as they are it it means a lot hearing from other vsg ers.

Hi everyone....wow, so many October peeps here!!!! I think it's a good omen for sure.....I can't believe I am coming up on my 3rd surgiversary.....and thank you to all of you for your sweet notes about my blog....for sure I will start writing it again, maybe do a once a month blog starting in October. You all have inspired ME! This week I joined a gym and I am loving it. (Keep in mind, I have never been athletic, never been a runner, never been good at exercise). But I have a lot of good music and podcasts on my iPhone and I am loving my time there each morning. It feels like 'me' time. I am at 65K (144 lbs) and I really want to get down to 133. I have a huge even to go to at the end of November (a masked ball in Berlin!) so I want to be able to get into something very slinky.

Anyway, congratulations to all those that are on the cusp of a new life.....I just realized I'm not sure I should be in this group because I will be 61 in October.....can I stay please? You are all so nice!

Yes please stay in this group, I loved reading your first year journey. I found it amazing that you had the courage to do all the traveling so soon after surgery. It made me realize that no mater where I go I can also find something to eat on the menu or at a party, I just remember if queen of the crop could do it all over the world I can do it in my limited traveling. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Grammy, are you planning on drinking the canned or bottled Protein Drinks or a powder. I want to use unsweetened frozen fruit with milk and unflavored powder. Is that acceptable No desire to try the chocolate or vanilla, feel like it would not be good. does anyone know of anywhere that you can a small container or samples of some of these >

Thanks !!

I've been slowly getting the bottles of Premire Protien 30 grams Protien from SAMs club. I also have Ungery in chocolate and plain also the chicken one. Also bought a sample pack from them so I'm set with drinks. Oh for my liquid 2 weeks I have slimfast also. They haven't said anything about a 2 week liquid diet but I hear so many that I figured I'd stock up. Then what I don't like after surgery my fiancé will drink lol.

Have a great day ladies

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
