I'm 4 weeks out from VSG and have lost 25 pounds. 

I am about 5 pounds under the lowest weight I have been in 10 years.  This was right before I got pregnant in 2012 and at that time, I had two pairs of pants I loved loved loved.  Once I had my

Today is the first day I have started writing down calories.  By dinner time I will be a little shy of 400 calories.  Protein is 36 grams prior to dinner.

What was typical for you at this stage?

OMG, you guys, I am so desperate for something to chew and I'm not getting enough calories in.   My surgeon requires 3 weeks of full liquids. I won't be able to eat purses until December 31 st and real food 2 weeks later.

I will be off with my husband the day of surgery and the following day, which is when I assume he will come home. After that I have to go back to work as I am also having VSG 12/07/15 and need to conserve my time off as much as possible.

So he

He is November 2nd, I am December 7th. I just can't get excited until the insurance officially approves it.

My husband starts his pre-op diet October 19th and has to lose 6 pounds by 10/26. I have to lose 4 pounds by 12/2. I think

Had my EGD yesterday (OMG, the drugs are sooooo good!) and surgeon found a hernia, gastritis and a gastric polyp.  She was gone by the time I woke up, this was a nurse who told me this.  I know polyps usually aren't a big deal and have read that they c

Just something I've been wondering about, as I see people posting about so many different post-op regimens.  Some people are eating solid food a week out and others are on liquids for a heck of a long time.  My surgeon's protocol is something like (can

My husband had his EGD today (I go next week) and they found a hiatal hernia, which I know is not unusual.  He also has gastritis and the doctor took some biopsies to look for H. Pylori.

Did the hernia repair add additional recovery time for yo

I wrote out this whole post yesterday and the website tanked, so I'm gonna try again.  :)

I have some questions--mainly looking for others' experiences.

1. I have my EGD next week.  I have gathered that you're pretty much out of it for

Anyone?  Endos are in the morning and he can be in daycare up to 6pm.  Think we should be capable of taking care of him?  I'm wondering how long it takes for the sedation to wear off.

Hi, this is my first post to this forum.  I've been lurking for a week or 2.

I have had orientation for the Sleeve and have my initial consult with the surgeon tomorrow.  Psych and nutrition not until Sept 28th.  Hopefully surgery in November.<
