Glad everyone's doing well.@renekiser no drain. I've been on Protein shakes since 5/15. Start soft foods on 5/29. Losing 1-2 lb per day so far. Wishing everyone continued healing. [emoji3] HW 357 lbs (11/21/17) SW 316.3 lbs (5/10/18)

Yes. Much better now that I'm home. A warm shower really helped. The CO2 pain is gone, praise GOD!!! HW 357 lbs (11/21/17) CW 314.2 lbs SW pending

Congrats everyone. I finished my liquid requirement (20oz in 4.5 hours) and am waiting for my papers. I will say, this was much more painful than I expected! Wishing you all a speedy recovery and a successful journey [emoji8] HW 357 lbs (11/21/17) CW 314.2 lbs SW pending

Maybe so. Fingers crossed! HW 357 lbs (11/21/17) CW 314.2 lbs SW pending

Best wishes ladies! My surgery is tomorrow as well. I'm actually more nervous/concerned about having a catheter than having VSG, lol. HW 357 lbs (11/21/17) CW 314.2 lbs SW pending

Isopure is really good. Zero/very low carbs, lactose free. I tried Premier Clear, but its too sweet for my tastes. Good luck!

Hi everyone. I'm set for VSG surgery on 5/10/18. If anyone is willing to share, I'd like to hear from those who were sleeved 5+ years ago. What do you do to maintain your weight loss? Conversely, if you gained some/all of it back, what words of wisdom would you like to share? Thanks in advance.

Hi surgery buddies! I'm in Baltimore. Less than a week until the big day. [emoji4]

I live in MD too. My moms a nurse. I told her about it, asked if she'd be supportive. She said no and I've moved on. I respect and value her, but I can't let her negativity regarding this surgery hinder me [emoji57]

80% of my family is like this. A lot of it stems from misinformation and ignorance. At the end of the day, you HAVE to do what's best for you! My surgeon has a family/friends day if people want to be educated on the process. It can be helpful.

Started this journey in Nov 2017, but broke my ankle in Jan. Much better now! Surgery May 10. Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgery is May 10 as well. I'm excited! I dont have to do a liquid diet tho. Just lean protein and veggies before surgery. Liquids for 2 weeks after Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app
