I had my six week post-op visit with my doctor and everything went well. He was pleased with my progress. I have lost 39 pounds since my surgery. I am pleased and ready to start shopping for new clothes. Pre-op I was wearing a size 22W and the last time I bought some clothes they were a 14/16. So I am starting to see some progress. I will keep everyone posted. I will add pictures soon.!!

Thanks everyone for your support, it feels good to know that I always have someone to talk to. Keithville,LA is right outside of Shreveport, LA. It's good to see some another Southern Girl on here. Will keep everyone posted..

Can you ever drink Coke or Diet Coke after having a sleeve? I am dying for a Soda!!

I had my Sleeve done on Feb. 24, I had to spend the night in the hospital since I lived so far away. I felt ok afterwards, but still kinda sore. I have been burping a great deal and that is the only uncomfortable feeling that I really have. I don't really have a appetite, but I know that will probably change. I'm still kinda tired but I know that it should get better as time goes by. My doctor told me to not worry about protein the first week. I just wonder if I will ever get rid of this burping!!

I finally have a date for my VSG. It is scheduled for March 3, 2010. I am so excited, but also very nervous. I have received a lot of information about diet and exercise, so I am a little overwelmed. I start my diet Feb. 17th, and I am very nervous about that. I want to follow every rule so that I get the full effect of my surgery. I will keep everyone posted.
