That’s awesome, how are you handling the pre op stuff?



Today has been tough.. I’m on day 3 of 10 and I’m kind of hungry. I can’t have anything but liquids and popsicles. But I keep on focusing on the bigger picture. 8 more days til surgery!! How has it been treating you?

Y’all are going to do GREAT!! The anticipation is MUCH worse than the actual surgery!!! Let me put it in perspective: I’m a 41 year old high school teacher...BMI of about 33 (I had it done in Mexico)...I had surgery on a Friday evening and was back at work and totally fine on Tuesday!! Y’all are going to do great!! Be excited!!!!!!!!!!

You can do 8 days! I'm sorry you are only doing liquids, but I bet you will have an easier time post op when you MUST be on liquids only. Once I'm on liquids only, I'm sure I will struggle. I am allowed one lean meat meal a day, and I really look forward to it. I'm sure you can do these last few days!

I've started a secret May Facebook group if anyone is interested? In order to be secret I have to add "friends" or I can use an email address. I just don't want to create a "closed" group because my VSG is not something I want public. So, if you want to be part of this then I need an email address to add.

Actually, I am wrong the group has to be "closed" first then changed to secret otherwise you have to be "friends" first to be added to the "secret" group. The thing is I don't want my VSG public

Maybe give it a different name like “nutrition tips” or something. Then ask a question to new members like what’s the password? And then put the password in this thread

That's a great idea! Or I can add people using an email address.

Hopefully the week flies by! During working hours I’m good and don’t even think about food. 7 more days until surgery, I got this!

      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
