African American vsgers!

  • Popular Post

Hey guys I saw a thread from 2011 that I wanted to continue. I love all of my vsgers but as we know african american women tend to carry weight differently. I would love to follow you ladies on your journey and for us all to support each other.

I was sleeved on September 5th so I'm a week out. I'm doing good so far and feeling better everyday. I stayed at the hospital 3 days mostly because they discovered my allergy to morphine while I was on the pump with a fever and my entire body on fire. But I'm home now and much better. I was just moved to the full liquids stage so I'm pretty happy considering that the liquids stage made me nauseous. I've lost 24 lbs since my surgery so any pain I have is over shadowed by my joy.

Looking forward to hearing from you ladies and seeing some progress pics!

This was me today at the gym. Hurt my back yesterday helping some friends move so today's workout was cut really really short.

Do any of you have good purée recipes? Making a list of items to try during that phase.

I experimented with home made fruit smoothies at this stage and just added Protein powder... It was my favorite at that time.

I didn't really experiment in the soft phase. I lived off of Greek yogurt, babybel light cheese, mashed Beans, Protein Shakes and yogurt.

Quest makes protein powder. I hate the bars.

Hello everyone I was sleeved this past Friday, Nov 25th. I am glad I found this thread! Still a little hard getting all my fluids and protein in without feeling nauseous.

They give you medicine and it clears right up. At least that is what my nurse told me if I would test positive. She said it wasn't a big deal.
