Hello -- I am three weeks out and still in the mushy stage. I have to travel to Michigan and our hotel does not have cooking facilities, so I am kind of stressing trying to figure out what to eat. Most will be from restaurants, I am sure. I am trying to figure out what will be good. I've been told that the chili from Wendy's would be good and I've tried the pinto Beans from Taco Bell and did pretty good. Does anyone else have specific recommendations of restaurants and dishes on the menu that might be good. Or also tips what to order or any special requests I need to make with regard to preparation of the food? Thanks!

Good evening. I am currently scheduled to have my VSG done on July 26th (Next week!). I have jumped through the hoops and done everything to get insurance approved. I just learned that my husband who is military has a PCS move and so our whole family should be moved by 1 September. I am considering cancelling my surgery, but I am so upset and scared to cancel. It seems awfully close to my surgery date and I worry about feeling up to it with the move and everything. I also don't know if I will have a chance to do this after we move because I won't have the same insurance when we do. This is really bugging me and I need some HELP! Anyone affiliated with the military? Or anyone who has experience with moving shortly after the surgery, please chime in and help me figure this out! Thanks everyone!

Just wanted to come back with a quick update! Everyone's advice was just what I needed to hear! I did not cancel. Had the sleeve on July 26th and am home from the hospital. I am dealing with all the issues that I hear most people do, nasty protien shakes, wanting to eat and being tired. Stuff with our move is rolling ahead. We expect to be completely moved by September and yes there will be some challenges but we can do it. I have lost 20 lbs so far that includes the pre op diet. Thanks everyone -- I would have backed down if it weren't for YOU!

I had been hearing about how the first days were the worst and didn't want to be on vacation trying to learn how to eat and still recovering. So no worries? COOL!

Good afternoon everyone! Just had a quick question.....I appears that I will be able to schedule a date for VSG surgery at some point between June and July. I have already planned to take my family on vacation in mid August. I am concerned that trying to do it so soon before vacation might be an issue. Would it be best to wait until afterwards to schedule surgery? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for all responses!
