No JP drain here either, Lynn. No staples, either, just glue. I was lucky!

Holy crap! $13,800 in Baton Rouge! I got taken for a ride, I'm thinking...

I had pain off and on for the first five days, but then it tapered off nicely. Abs still ache some but just because I am not being a couch potato any more, but actually doing some exercise! If I, a pain weenie, can do it, anyone can! Keep us posted on how youre doing.

Congrats! You've taken the first step to a new you!

Praying for both of you! You'll do fine.

That's terrific! Good for you!

Great! He or his assistant will answer any questions you have and are so nice. Glad I used them. Good luck and keep us posted!

As of yesterday, I am down 25 lbs and could get into some cute capris that were way too tight before surgery (3/27). Today I put on my pants for church and they are loose now too. Makes not having the Easter candy so worth it!

On March 27

You look terrific! Way to go!

Way to go on your progress so far, 3 sizes down is awesome!

Neck and collarbone. And I have the nose running thing now too. Weird!

So sorry, Ready! I will praying for you to feel better soon.

They added Seroquel. Plus, I think some of it was due to going into ketosis. Anybody else have that problem?

Anyone having panic attacks after VSG? I am on my 6th postoperative day. Also, has your depression got worse? It's the mental issues more than the liquid diet that's getting me down!

Way to go!!

Way to go!!

You are beautiful! Success stories like this are awesome to read for newbies like me!

It is so good to see someone who has come thru that first month so well. I hope I can do as well as that. Good job!!

Called my surgeon and he wouldn't do anything. Called my GP and have an appointment tomorrow but wouldn't call in anything. Way to be a horse's butt, docs!

Prilosec Solutabs are possibly fouler than the protein shots. Anyone have a suggestion for a substitute?

I dunno. How well would it absorb?

I don't know what to say. I am overwhelmed by the supportive posts on this board. I do believe God (or whatever your HP) led me here!

I feel so depressed. It is 4 days out from surgery. I can't stand 11 more days til soft foods. I feel like I'm mourning something. I can't even put on a good face for my child. She is 7 years old nd had a hard time with me going under the knife in the first place. I can't let her see me all sad. I can't go and visit friends when I'm still craving solid food and am so emotional all the time! Please help! How did you being your mood up during those first hard days?

I hope I can encourage others the way y'all have encouraged me. Glad I found this place!
