Hello my name is Jessica I am 37 years old with two kids (14-11). I had my vsg on August 5. So I'm 5 months post-op. And I have encounter another stale. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't see my doctors until February. Was wondering what are people eating at this stage or who ever has pass this stage and has went through a stale. I also would love a buddy cause my family and friends don't always understand what im going through and what I see in the mirror. Thank you.

Hello everyone it's been awhile. We'll I started at 246 the day of surgery I was 236. Now at 9 weeks out I'm 208 but haven't lost anything for two weeks. Anyone having the same problem. Please help.

Thank you for replying. That makes me feel better. I just have to be patient I guess. I think I'm in a rush with loosing weight. I know the saying it quicker to gain it then loose it.

Going on to 4 weeks on Tuesday. But lately I've been getting dizzy. Is that normal? If any one can answer this ? It would be helpful.

Yea I do feel that I don't get enough water I try. But it's very hard. So sunflower what stage of eating are you on. Some suggestions cause I'm kind of bored what I'm eating.

I need help. I need ideas with puréed foods. Right now what I'm eating is Greek yogurt, broth soups, jello, and I just added soft eggs. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. Does anyone one also have website I can ideas or a book I can buy or download.

I do.

We can make a group on fb that no one will read just us if someone will like to set up that group aNd we can all convo and share things we our going through. Just a suggestion.

That's a good idea. I would like to join.

Yes. When did u have surgery.

I just started following you. My Instagram is jessicavtec. I had my surgery aug 5. I would like a buddy to go through this new journey we have begun.

ON my way to the hospital. So excited. A little nervous but can't wait to see where this journey takes me. We'll prayers to everyone that has surgery today. And has a speedy recovery.

Finally today I'm feeling better. Wow did not except on how much pain I was going to be in. And also the nausea was horribly. This was worse then my three c-sections I've had. The doctor also said I had a hernia on my diaphragm that she also removed. But taking my liquids in every 20 min when I'm up. Can't wait for my stomach to go back to regular it's still swollen I swear I still have air. Well hopefully everyone one that had surgery the same day as me is doing good. And good luck to all further sleeves.

after 6 months of waiting for the day. It's finally here. Have to be in the hospital at 11:35 am tomorrow. Can't wait I'm so excited a little scared hopefully everything goes ok. I hope I reduced my liver. I know when I last weighed myself at the doctors I was 246lbs. So today I weighed myself I weigh 240lbs hopefully that's good enough because reading on a lot of post people have lost a lot of weight. So I'm so ready for this journey. Who else is getting surgery tomorrow. Good luck to the ones that are going in tomorrow. Prayers go out to you. So let me know who is getting sleeved tomorrow maybe we can keep in touch and help each other. Pm me.

Thank you everyone.

Fezik23. Thank u.

You take one a day. I started at 5000mg.

I am also getting surgery on Aug 5. I got my registration date and blood work for surgery on July 30. Doing my pre-op diet doing two shakes and healthy dinner. First day went great. But then yesterday I cheated with Burger King for dinner sucks I felt like crap. Today I had a shake in the morning and then for lunch not so good had pernil and rice. I will love to join this group great motivation to go through this journey together and give ideas and pep talks like I need right now. Just let me know where to join the chat room

So I had my appt. today. And my surgery is scheduled for Aug 5,14. Am so excited so now I have to start my pre-op diet lets see how this goes for two weeks. I hope I don't catch a attitude with no one. Cause when I don't eat I get kind of cranky. Anyone scheduled around my date? Let's become friends and do this journey together. I can't believe the 6 months went so quick and the day came already. Ok guys let me know who's around my date.

Yes I start tomorrow too. Have to get a few things from the store but also a little scared but I can't wait. So what protein shake are you doing. I don't even know which one to get. Any suggestions.

So after 6 months going to appointments every four weeks to see what I ate during the day that my insurance required and going to a physic consult,endoscopy and nutritionist also blood work. I finally got approval for surgery. Now I have a Appointment on July 22, 2024 for pre-op. My question is what to expect for that day?????

Hello everyone. My names is Jessica and I started this journey on January 15, 2014. My insurance requires me to do 6 months plus a physic appt and endoscopy procedure plus blood work and to speak to a nutritionist. We'll I have done everything they have required. Me to do. We'll finally on June 18, 2014 was my 6 months now my doc said we will summit everything to the insurance company. Now it's a waiting game. But my question is if anyone has went threw my same situation and if anyone knows how long does it take to get approved. Thanks. And I'm really liking this site it's very interesting and a lot of information is given.
