Hi friends, I’ve spoken to a few people who’ve gotten VSG and like everyone they just regret they didn’t do it sooner. I’m just curious bom everyone experience. How long until I can eat a piece of grilled chicken? I’m a big BBQ guy so this is my season. I know I’m going to go through the surgery but just curious, how long did you guys wait for a piece of protein Like fish, steak, or chicken. Hoping these negative thoughts go away. I’m on day 6 of my liquid diet and I’m having cravings. Thanks Mark

I’m having VSG this coming Wednesday. I work in retail so I’m hoping to be back to work on Monday. That may not be doable but I’ll try my best. I’m glad to hear I won’t have to make my wife do anything that will stress her out. How long were you guys in the hospital? My doctor hopes to have me out after a day. I wonder how much pain I’ll be in.

Hello friends. My name is Mark, 35 years old and am two weeks out from surgery. I’m really at peace with my decision to get WLS. I know it’s going to suck for a while but it will hopefully all be worth it. I’m not nervous about the procedure or what’s going to happen after I’m truly nervous because I’ve never been “skinny” or even remotely close. I was always the chubby kid ever since I can remember. I was the fat friend. Now, I’m two weeks out and know that if all goes well, I’ll be healthy. Anyone else have this same fear/anxiety? If so how do you cope with that and everyone now complementing you for your weight. Thanks all! Mark
