YIKES! It came fast! who knew time would speed up during the last week???? Getting the butterflies!!

Speedy recovery wishes heading your way....To you who have surgery this am. Well wishes and patiently awaiting my turn on may 23.

Before we leave for the hospital, I had the hubs take body shots for the "before" pictures. Front, Side and back. YUCK! Ok....THAT's incentive enough to get this party started!

@@wannaBthinsoon, I'm glad you slept! I haven't been able to, come on 11am. I'm ready to switch to the "post-op" forums lol

Successful surgeries and speedy recoveries to you all!

I just had my VSG on Thursday 4//23 at noon! So I am glad to find someone at the same exact stage as myself:) My surgery was at noon, and my night nurse was very young & busy. But that was the only bumps in the recovery at the hospital - by the time I left I was walking up and down the hall.

How are you doing at home? Have you started your pureed foods?

Yesterday, I started with yogurt and scrambled eggs. And going to work for a few hours, but expecting to be tired this afternoon. Smart that you are taking this time to take care of you and your body.

Sounds like you are doing great! Have a wonderful day!

@@jjflamingoVSG I am just starting purees, so I've been on Clear liquids this whole time. Applesauce is wonderful. I don't have my follow up visit till Thursday, so I can't be released to go back to work before then. He and I already discussed the amount of time I intend to take, and he was fine with it. Taking the extra time is time for me to get adjusted to this new lifestyle, know what to pack for a lunch, get out and buy a new tiny lunch bag, and get some clothes that fit. I can't believe how much I have lost already! But my staples have to come out, and I need some time for me. I've been on the treadmill daily, trying to remain active.

Congrats to the both of you! Praying for a safe surgery and a speedy recovery for you both!

I had VSG on Thursday at 10 am. I really can't complain about anything - I haven't taken any pain medicine since I left the hospital, no problems with gas. I am still on clear liquid diet but have not had a problem with protein shakes and almost enough liquid. I am exhausted though and feel like I should be walking for real instead of just padding around. Should I wait until my doctor's appointment on Friday or just make myself go? I am excited to find so many of us that are on exactly the same schedule!

Can I just say how jealous I am of you guys on purees. My surgery ended up starting about 1 on the 23rd and I'm a full week clear liquid, 2 weeks full liquid, then purees!

Did you ever think you would be jealous of someone eating purees? I am on clear liquid too!

Good luck!!!

Wow, I'm so excited for you! Your doing wonderful!
