I am currently TRYING to transition. I won't say that I am totally shooting for VEGAN, because if things are made with eggs/milk (i.e. breads/crackers but not cheesy milky sauces), I'm ok with that. I was inspired by a few documentaries I watched recently. One is "Forks over Knives". It was very eye opening and really convicted me about changing my diet. Of course, the protein challenge is my biggest hurdle. I am trying to tackle it daily and PRAYING that I don't set myself back in the process. I will say that I feel GREAT! I am 8 months post-op and have already experienced a "prolonged" plateau due to emotional eating of the "wrong" comfort foods. But, I am back on track now and doing what I have ALWAYS felt was best for me. Now just taking it one day at a time.

Sorry, I am just seeing your question tonight. I kinda took a break from the site. It was hard seeing everyone having their surgeries done and I was still on hold. I got referred to the hematologist and got my anemia issue resolved. Next I was cleared for surgery the first week in Sept and got SLEEVED on 9/22/2011!!!!!!So I am one week out as of today and 33lbs down from my highest wt! How r u?

Just wondering if you ever got your surgery. I know it was on the fence for a bit there. Any news?

Good Luck to all the July Firecrackers!!! My surgeon called me @ abt 230 yesterday (hours before my surgery date of TODAY) and cancelled my surgery. I'm DEVASTATED!!!!! I have been anemic for years, but I just had surgery @ the end of May to resolve that issue. Evidently my pre-op labs show that I'm still anemic so he wants me to see a Hematologist to ensure that there isn't another source. I understand his concern, but after 2wks of a liquid diet & my family traveling from out of town just arriving immediately prior to his call............, HIS TIMING SUCKS!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the well wishes MLD, but my surgeon called me @ abt 230 today and cancelled my surgery. I'm DEVASTATED!!!!! I have been anemic for years due to heavy menses, but I just had a hyst @ the end of May to resolve that issue. Evidently my pre-op labs show that I'm still anemic so he wants me to see a Hematologist to "look into" my anemia JIC there's another source. Understand his concern, but

Congrats on taking the VSG leap!!! I'm looking forward to mine on July 14th. So how has your recovery been? That's one of my biggest worries since I'm only off one week to recover. I hope things are going GREAT!! Wishing you the BEST success.

@sweetdreams, Yes, I am in the Dallas area. Having mine in Decatur. You are sooooo lucky!!!! My doctor required 2 weeks of liquid diet pre-op, so July 4th was TORTUROUS!!!! You are doing GREAT though with 14 pounds lost already without even starting it. I have lost 9 pounds since starting my liquid diet last Thursday...
