What do you do... - What do the rest of you VSGers do when your eating schedule gets WAY off for the day? My day was going pretty well despite having to spend most of my lunch going to pay a bill. ...

Back at the old grind stone... - I started back to work last week. It's been a bit of an adjustment - having a month off sure did make me lazy! I still have one more week of lift restriction, then I SHOULD be b...

First soft solid food...rejected - I will officially be 4 weeks out on Friday. At my appointment on Monday, my NUT told me that I could try some solids today. My sleeve did not agree. Mostly I ate egg whites, whi...

I am the grumpy dwarf - My mom sat down with me this evening and told me that I have been exceptionally prone to overreaction/losing my temper/etc. these last few weeks since my surgery. She thinks it'...

Woohoo! - So I was very disappointed this last week. I lost ounces, maybe, and some days I would bounce up even. It was epically frustrating, because this is supposed to be the rapid weig...

Woohoo? - Today my NUT said I needed to increase my calories, so I added some in. I'm feeling way more full than I have so far, which I'm not sure I like. But I got in about 580 cals, whi...

I'm consuming way too many carbs! - I'm trying to consume from my list of approved foods, but I plugged today's food into MFP and even though my sugars are pretty low, my total carbs are very high. I think it's th...

Gross, but... - So I'm 9 days out, and I thought I was doing really well with not throwing up. I've had a couple close calls, but the Zofran always saves me. Today, I was a little too late, and...

1 week out - Last Friday, I had my surgery. First couple days, most of my pain was kind of heartburn like, but way more intense. While I was in the hospital, I was taking Zofran round the cl...
