Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!! [emoji4] I’m scheduled for VSG surgery December 5th!!! I’m afraid and happy but I’m definitely looking forward to getting ready to start my new life. (There is a little person inside me that’s been waiting to come out for years and I’m excited to meet her) [emoji4]

Thinking of you today! Gentle hugs for a speedy recovery!

Every doctor has their own protocol for pre-surgery. My surgery is the 5th - tomorrow. I had my own anxiety a few days ago but I know God has this. I think we wonder if we will ever get there cause it's been such a long journey for most of us like a rollcoaster trying to lose weight. I'm so read to get off all these meds and go for a hike and maybe even go camping again!!
Go join the Buddies Group for December under buddies and mentors. I think there's about 8 of us in there and we can all support each other. The ONE main thing that I never got with lap band surgery, I'm determined to be successful.

Is that the norm for your doctor, or was there some kind of complication?

He found a hernia and because of past surgeries my stomach is swollen and not allowing very much liquids to go down. Lot of reflux.

I’m new here... 12/14 surgery date. Super nervous and all of these shakes are making me nauseous. Any suggestions? Is there a chicken flavored shake out there so I don’t feel like I’m drinking dessert all day?

There's unflavored Protein Powder out there. I recently purchased Syntrax medical unflavored variety to add to things like chicken broth. I haven't tried it yet, but I know you have to be careful adding Protein powder to warm foods. You can denature the protein of it gets too hot. I think the instructions said nothing higher than 130 F.

I actually bought some unflavored samples for after surgery because I know how I am lol. I guess I could try some now and just purchase a thing of it if I like it. Thanks for the advice! I hadn’t thought of that for pre op.

So I got curious and tried the Syntrax unflavored with beef broth. I couldn't make it as hot as I normally like, but it's actually quite good, there weren't any clumps at all. It's a nice break from the dessert flavor shakes.

Sweet thank you so much! I’m going to make that for lunch every day so I can get a break from the sweetness at work.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
