Has Anyone's Obesity Side Effects Stopped After Weight Loss?
VSGJean replied to Malisima69's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have a few hairs on my neck. I've started doing laser hair removal. I've also just started my WL journey.... -
BUTTER, it's made from natural ingredients, Cream and salt (if its salted). If you can't say what the ingredients are, you should eat it. Plus if you a tiny bit, the calories are minimal. If you are only get in 500 to 600 calories, what is 45 more....?

Husband Is Concerned With Me Going To Mexico
VSGJean replied to mbabercrombie's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I was going to go by myself, but my best friend insisted on going with me. I'm so GLAD she did go. What a helping hand she was. I can't imagine doing it again without her. -
Husband Is Concerned With Me Going To Mexico
VSGJean replied to mbabercrombie's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I have friends and family that are doctors and nurses and not to knock them, but I got better medical care in Mexico than I do here at home in Louisiana..... -
Husband Is Concerned With Me Going To Mexico
VSGJean replied to mbabercrombie's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I completely understand, I thought that too. But I read and read the reviews. Of course my husband was skeptical because he is a cop and is very concerned for my safety. I just got home on Tuesday. Everything was fine. You aren't going to travel off the normal route. You will be too tired, at least I was. I registered with the American Consulate. You don't got through the "bad areas" where you live, right? You won't go through any bad areas in Mexico. I went to Puerto Vallarta. -
I've heard that everyone "stalls". Some people start from basics. Protein shakes during the day and a meal in the evening. Good luck...

Yes, I have one incision there, I keep a band-aid on it to protect it from being rubbed, But if I don't have to wear a bra, I don't. Please understand that I'm a stay at home mom, so I only put a bra on when and if I have to leave the house. -
Louisiana Sleevers?
VSGJean replied to crazycravings's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sore and tired, I can sleep all day and night. Not eating much and having a hard time getting my water in, but I'm only 6 days out. I did have an egg yesterday and 20 minutes later, it came back!! Didn't have an egg today...LOL -

Here's my review, He is awesome. One of the best doctor's I've had. The nurses are incredible. The BEST care I have ever had in a hospital. I just got home last night from Puerto Vallarta. I'm still tired but I'm still healing. -
Looking At Getting 'sleeved'
VSGJean replied to cheryldirks's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hey Cheryl, I was sleeved on Friday!! I'm doing great. I'm still in Mexico. I only have a few minutes on the computer, (the hotel charges for it). Feel free to send me a private message and watch my videos. I will answer any and all questions that I can. I will post my Mexico video in the next couple of days. -
What Do You Mix Your Protein Powders With?
VSGJean replied to Strangefruit's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use Jillian Michaels protein powder, and I add one cup skim milk. To add flavor, I will add a teaspoon of natural peanut butter and 3 nilla wafers and it will take just like a NUTTER BUTTER cookie!! -

VSGJean replied to PiggyPantsPaige's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Plateau's are normal, try changing up you workout, do weight first than cardio. Sorry it's short, leaving for the airport...... Pray for me, tomorrow is my SURGERY!!!! -
I tried the sample and LOVED it. Just ordered 3 one pound bags. Truvia, Equal, Sweet and Low or whatever fake sweetener, they all taste horrible. Tastes like chemicals to me. My husband is diabetic, so this will be nice for him too.

Take those pain meds, not reason to be in pain. Praying for you.

I thought your surgery was on Thursday?!?!

Anyone Having Surgery On 9/21?
VSGJean replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Am I the only one that is absolutely miserable on the clear liquid diet? I'm getting bad headaches, I'm exhausted and shaky. I know it's because I'm having no caffeine and no carbs...... -
