I’m so excited to start my chapter

COUNT DOWN 64 DAYS

Hello everyone! I'm here and surviving but trying to deal with those dang fast food commercials. My family has planned a beach vacation and I'll be hopefuly starting soft foods by then but I don't want to say until I know more at my weekly follow up visit on Wednesday. I'm trying to drink water and diluted fruit juice to keep mt bloodsugar upm but i'm sick of diluted juices. I have no patience on this whatsoever and I know I need it. I just keep going to get to my sister's point. She's a year out so I have a long way to go to get to her level.

Oh that’s awesome! You’re making such strides already! I’m scared to go on the scale after a disappointing week 1 lol. So I’ll wait til my next doctor’s appointment.

Yeah that's what I'm going to do from here on out is stay off of the scale I know it is a process it's going to take up to a year to even get to my goal weight but close to that but I know I don't have that much to lose but it's still hard but I don't want to be on the scale thinking oh I only lost a pound today or yesterday so yeah it's best to stay off I was just happy when I went to the doctor and he was like oh you lost 12 lbs

@Turch u can do it, it will be so worth it. I drink apple juice try that. I’m struggling with drinking water or fluids in general. But I’ve always struggled with that. Hold in there.

Thanks, I just walked 10 laps around the floor and it was okay.

Chest pain didn’t subside, so they gave me some pain meds. Hopeful to get out of here no later than Sunday.

My surgeon used staples, is that common? I was expecting dissolving stitches and glue, lol.

Mine used staples inside for my stomach and glue outside.

For the first time in my life, I'm having issues in drinking 56 ounces of water it took me until 1130 at night to get that much its so hard and I'm a water drinker

My surgeon stopped by the hospital today and I’m getting discharged at noon.

I asked when he’d remove the staples and he said in about a week. Sounds good to me.

@Carla Ogwin I’ve always struggled with water but I’m trying lol

All drinks I'm having issues with I think because it's sugar free, they just have a weird taste to me.

Good for you and good luck.

I agree but I had a stroke five years ago and I think my taste buds changed from that so some things taste better like a choc vanilla swirl pudding and some no sugar popsicles by outshine are amazing!

Oh those do taste good.

Thank you ?

Hi. Just recent post op from the VSG. Still trying to get the hang of some things. Would love to chat about what’s been working and how others have been meeting their daily goals

I am seven days post. Just had two teaspoons of mashed potato today. I think the surgery has changed my tastebuds.
I am at the point I want to chew and have something small. I have made a few jellies which are very easy on the gut. Also anything beats soup.
