Controversial - The evaluation of before and after. Healthier by definition, but does everyone who is VSG'd really 'look' better?
Robyn Cabrera replied to Madam Reverie's topic in Rants & Raves
About 2 weeks before my surgery I started kind of freaking out thinking what happens if I'm ugly afterwards??? I don't think I'm ugly now and my friends and family assured me that I wouldn't be. Hope they weren't just being nice ???? -
Yep - cream of wheat and puréed soups. I did add some chocolate peanut butter protein powder to my cream of wheat this morning to change it up a bit. I'm on day 10 and REALLY need some variety

Actual Down time after Surgery?
Robyn Cabrera replied to ajayb19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on the 22nd and I feel like I could totally go back to work now - I have a mostly deal job. I took 3 weeks off though just in case -

Glad I'm not the only one. I'm 10 days post op and I haven't felt full either. I almost wanted to call my surgeon yesterday and ask how big he REALLY left my stomach. Lol. I think I'm being overly cautious with the food though - I'm scared I'll pop a staple! Sent from my iPhone using VST

He probably meant sorry about pushing the side on you.

The day before my surgery I woke up crying and couldn't stop all day because of thinking about the what ifs. I wrote letters to both of my kids and left them with my mom (along with a letter for her with some instructions). Made me feel a tiny bit better. But knowing the biggest risk was me continuing to be obese really helped me get through

week 1 post op weight
Robyn Cabrera replied to Sams-Queen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Awesome!!! I just weighed myself at home and if I can trust my scale (that's a big if) I'm about 10 lbs down and I'm 1 week PO today. -
VSG: status symbol?
Robyn Cabrera replied to gmanbat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMG I waited almost two years for my surgery and in that time, I think I told every person I talked to. Lol. People are going to see a drastic weight loss so why not be upfront about it! -
I'm now 3 days post op and very excited to start this new chapter of my life. I haven't had too much pain and I'm moving around really well. I find that I can't even eat a full 4 oz of Soup yet but I've been doing ok drinking Water in small amounts throughout the day. It's so great to be able to read about all of your successes as I really dig in to my own journey. Keep it coming! Robyn Sent from my iPhone using VST
