Im feeling good. Getting more fluids in, but not protein drinks I have to find something that is not the nasty shakes.

Well Im drinking about 2 bottles of 16oz water and 1 8oz gator aide a day. No protein drinks The shakes are nasty. I feel better but I still take naps. Are you excited? Just a few more weeks.

Hi Carrie, Thank you for all the nice comments on my Pics. My son just finished having a temper tantrum in that pic. He didn't get the toy he wanted...lol

Hey Nikki, How is everything going. I hope all is well.

As long as you add things like cream of wheat ( very thin) to your diet you should be ok for work. By last friday I was so weak just from having liquids. I was faint. But now that I stopped just liquids I havent lost anymore weight. The plane was a little cramped so try to book you seat on an exit row.

Lol...Good idea.

Well I made it home. My gas pain is gone and Im doing a little better with sipping water. I was having out burst of crying for no reason at all. I did understand why I was feeling so depressed. Then the doc. told me some people react like this, it is called Post Surgery Depression. It is a side effect from the Anesthesia. My incisions look good. OMG, the worst part is the leak test!!! I did alot of crying and vomiting! Has everything been good with you? Do you have any problems with the protein?

read a string started by RADGEN. It gets a litte crazy but if you look past all the BS you see people who went to Dr Almanza in the past few weeks. Its like 9 pages long.

I am so silly I sent this to myself. Im not to good at this computer chat stuff.

I live in Miami. I understand how you feel when I started reading about him I was so unsure. Then I started noticing that the bad stuff wasn't being said by people who went to him. When are you think of having your VSG done? FYI he will be on vac sept 5 - 13. Here is my number 561-714-9946

Just checking on you. How are you doing? Im 13 days out and much better. Just a little head hunger. =(

Hi Ericka, Hope your feeling good. I see you've already lost 35lbs!!!! You go girl. I want to see pics soon. Keep me posted. XOXO

Welcome to the VSG boards!!!!

Hi Tammy, I'm doing good down 32lbs. I hate this new site. Can't nav to good on it. So your on liquids I see. I didn't do very good on the pre-op. Thank god I only had to do it for 3 days. It's much better after surgery. No hunger! After two weeks you feel a little hunger, then it goes away again. I have to remind myself to eat. =)

Carrie, I hope you are in better sprits today. Its really tuff the first two weeks. All I want is pizza...lol

Hi, Ok today is my two week mark. I feel much better and not as weak. The first week was hell. Every time I drank water or ate jello it hurt in my sternum area. warm stuff feels much better. I have head hunger =( I really want pizza. Thanks for the Doc info. Im going to check into him. Even though Im not have any problems. I still want a check up. Are you going alone? Keep me posted.

Umm that sounds good. Im two weeks out, can I eat that?

Sternum is much better! Im going to try the shakes you told me about. Everyday gets better, you can count on that! The warm liquids feel good on the tummy so bring some broth cubes with you. I wouldnt eat the broth they have because they leave it on the stove for days. Its just different in MX. BTW I like your pic.

Heart filled prayers to you and your mom in this time of sadness.

Hey Jeannette! How are u? Hows everthing going with getting your vsg? I'm doing 100% better than a few weeks ago. I haven't been drinking the protein shakes. They would make me sick. I need to try them again bc it seems like things that made me sick then dont bother me now. I'm down almost 40lbs! I do get a good amount of protein in from reg. food.

WTG!!! 54lbs =)

Hello Jeannette, I went to GNC today and got the shake. I will try it in the morning. I kind of like the Muscle Milk. I can only drink about 1//4 of a bottle at a time. How is everything with you?

Hi Carolina, I hope all is well with you. Have you learned how to make a sweater yet...lol

I swear I have -120% metabolism. I think its going to be slow losing from here on out! So you don't have any idea when you will have yours done? =( At first I was think about getting the band and then I read all the problems with it and I was like no way. When I found the info on the VSG and a reasonable price I swear I booked within a week and had it 4wks later. I just didn't want anything to change my mind. My husband thought I was joking until he got the credit card bill. I paid as soon as I set the appt with Melissa.

Hello Carlos, Yay another person who lives by me. You will have to join me and Carolina when we get together at the Hardrock! It is not as easy choice to make to have the VSG done. Just this weekend my sister sent me a msg saying why am I cheating and getting surgery. I don't see it as cheating, we still will strugle with food but in a differant way. I couldn't even do my first day of the pre-op diet with out cheating. Your doing the right thing!

Hello LovinLife, OMG just 1 day! Join us on the August sleevers post. Where are you having your VSG done?
