I had my 2nd nutritional counseling today and went over everything pre-op and post-op. Then came the weigh-in at the end. Now, my scale at home says I'm weighing in 24lbs less than my initial weigh in,  and their scale says I'm only 15 lbs down since m

Sooooooo Let's try this again. Surgery re-scheduled to 9/27. Started my pre-op diet this morning. I feel great about everything now since I got my clearances all in order. I go for my 2nd nutritionist/dietician consult and pre-op with the surgeon on Tu

After a big setback, disappointment and postponement of my 8/2/2016 surgery due to an H. Pylori stomach infection, I am happy to report that after my second endoscopy last week, the results are in and the infection is gone! I am now clear to proceed wi

Going in for my repeat endoscopy tomorrow to make sure the stomach infection is completely gone. And...  I optimistically re-scheduled my surgery for 9/27 now. So, finger crossed,  the results come back clear and I can be on my way to the losers bench.

Maybe it was because i was sooooo focused and only 12 DAYS away from this life-changing surgery. Maybe it was because I had been running around like a crazy person for 3 months from pre-op clearance to pre-op clearance appointments and testings and it

So, i haven't written in a few weeks. I was 12 days pre-op when i got hit with a huge whammy curveball... "Sorry, we have to postpone your surgery, you have an H. Pylori infection and we can't clear you for surgery". Greatttt...  I have no issues with

So, as of yesterday, I was 12 days from surgery. I completed all of my pre-op testing, i've been on my pre-op diet since Sunday. All good to go. I went for my follow-up yesterday to get my endoscopy results, which was also to be followed by my surgeon'

I started my pre-op diet yesterday. I've done pretty good so far, its just ALOT of food to consume in one day. (It's not a liquid diet- 1000 calories, 125 carbs, . Trying to just map it out and get it all in. I have my pre-op visit with my surgeon on T

I presently take a multivitamin (Centrum Women), Biotin, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B12 sublingual. Has anyone found a decent liquid or chewable vitamin D3 or Biotin? Brand name and/or where you bought it would be helpful. I've already got the chewable mul

I bought a small 8 count clear plastic ice pop tray. Poured in my Premier Protein Shakes in a few and my favorite greek yogurt with fresh fruit in a few others. OMGOSH! Heavenly!!! And this will be great for after surgery in case I have a hankering for

So after several days of panicking, the endoscopy was super smooth sailing yesterday. (I was nervous because I had never been under anesthesia before)... It was Easy as pie. I just felt a little "off" the rest of the day. Just kind of wanted to law dow

29 days until surgery. I am nervous and excited. I have lost 20lbs since my surgical consult. That came up so fast! I know I am making the right decision, but gotta be honest, I am scared. Thinking about all the "what-ifs" and "god-forbids". Weird, I n

Hey everyone! So, what's the deal on the protein bars? Of course, most of us are drinking the protein shakes, but I haven't seen anyone mention protein bars at any phase of this journey. I drink Premier protein drinks now and I know they have their own

Hello friends!!! As my surgery nears, I feel the need to ask... 

Post-op, did you weigh yourself every day, once a week, or once a month? Or what is your best recommendation? 

I was leaning towards putting the scale away and w

Through all of these posts I've read, I have always read the dreaded "pre-op liquid diet" posts. Of course, that is very nerve wracking and can give you a panic attack... So fast forward to my marching orders from my nutritionist and doctors... 2 week

Hi!!! I have a question. I have read hundreds of posts and I hope someone can possibly clarify this for me and I hope I phrase it correctly.

I am like a camel when it comes to water right now. I drink it all day long and have no issues putting

Had my cardiology pre-op consult today with a very very nice doctor. He was very supportive and encouraging that I was having the VSG and so were his assistants. So that was nice, since you can never tell how people are going to act or react when you t

Hi all! I am scheduled to be sleeved on August 2nd. I am taking 2 weeks off thereafter. I work in a law firm, in my own office by myself, primarily sedentary work. I always drink water, so I don't think that part will be a problem. I have a strategy to

Hi! I am new to the site. I am due to be sleeved on 8/2/16. I am seeing all of these success stories,  but seems I haven't seen many like me at all. I have seen many people around my weight, but much shorter in height than me. I know it is different fo
