Four words: GO GET 'EM HONEY! You are gonna rock that surgery!!! Congrats

Thought of this one omw to work today, as I am mentally at the beach... Be able to go tanning at the tanning salon without the girls at the front looking at me like "why are you even here" Be able to wear a skirt without my knee rolls hanging out..

I agree with all of you, specially the cutting out air supply while bending over... This is one of my biggest challenges right now. I look forward to: - not have to wear darker makeup on my double chin to try and hide it - be comfortable in flats too!! My feet end up all marked up at the end of the day. - being able to pop out of my car, rather than wobble out - being able to put my hair in a ponytail without worrying about my neck rolls being exposed

You're looking incredible dear! Great job keeping Snacks out of the house. I need to do the same soon! The day before my liquid diet starts, I am throwing most of our pantry away. I apologized to my husband already lol! Looking beautiful, congrats!! VVV

You are amazing John. I am so happy to hear that you are coming along so well. I love it that you're finally able to sleep with your wife!!! You are going be to even more awesome when that new baby is born and you will once again realize how much this is all worth it. Your update is inspirational, and it reassures that what these doctors are doing for us is giving us a golden chance at what we could not have achieved otherwise. Congratulations John!!!! VVV

Hey guys, VVV here. So with my pre-op liquid diet coming I can't help but to ask... WHAT SHOULD I BE ORDERING ONLINE? what did you live off of? Xo

loving it!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations and thank you for creating this site. It's amazing!!!

Coca cola cannot kill you... I promise. Worked at PepsiCo Research & Development, have physically made cola in a lab, 95% Water... This post has so many views, thanks to Marijuana!!!!

Hi VSGJourney, Welcome to the site! I think to an extent we have all wondered whether we will be able to keep the weight loss or not. I think the answer is yes! One of the beautiful things abt the VSG is the elimination of most of the gastric hormones that cause hunger. Believe it or not, hunger can be very mental, and this surgery really helps you out with this. Of course one has to get into a psychological state of mind, that you will be fit for life. Surround yourself with people that are trying to achieve the same goal as you, a.k.a. your bariatric pal friends . Most surgeons will provide you information about post-op support groups, use them to your advantage. Overall, remember that even if you were not as successful with the VSG as you imagined, this is not the end of the magic of weight loss surgery for you. Options like gastric bypass and duodenal switch exist. You will do great dear! XO VVV

YOU LOOK SO FABULOUS IT'S INSANE!!!!!! I love it. The facial definition is incredible, you're beautiful!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AlwaysVegas, Thank you so much! this is great. Totally getting popsicles, I am even buying a box for work.

beautiful, looking great!

OMG thanks! Cheesecake sugar free pudding is definitely going on my "to buy" list. Love it!

Absolutely, I just found it to be so not out of the box. Yeah Protein powder, blah blah, but what are some insider tips. Like one of my friends gave me a great idea to purchase these salad drinks that are sold at a store in NY called Mrs. Greens. Anyone else have any cool ideas?

Took me about one month to get my surgery approved. And now I have one month until my surgery date I will definitely keep everyone posted!

Hello Beautiful Plumped Friends, So my sleeve, with all due approval, should be happening this month. I have created a blog, which is sooo outside my comfort zone.. well not blogging itself, but blogging abt my weight.. I am planning to be an open book, and I want you guys to follow my blog: vvvgastricsleeveafterlife.BlogSpot.com Please feel free to share any video blogs or BlogSpot in this thread! Thanksssss VVV

You guys!! My surgery was approved without the six month supervised diet period! So excited, I can't even describe! When the nurse told me I tried to be as civilized as possible, but I was exploding of happiness inside!!! YAYYYYYY! Can't wait to find out the next step from here.
