Hi Everyone!!!

I know I have been a bit MIA for awhile but a lot has happened in the last 2 months since I've been on VST. So for those of you who do not know me, I am the group creator, Sarah. I had my sleeve done on 8/26 and as exactly 3 months later I am down a total of 56lbs. In September I started working, then 2 weeks later we got orders saying we were leaving in Nov so I quit lol. Well most of you know how fickle the Army likes to be, my hubby went for training the whole month of October and while he was out there his orders got cancelled and pushed back till January. So Lord only knows when we will actually be moving, but I do know that we are going to Fort Bliss. I know we have been a bit inactive in the group for awhile but I would really like to get some more activity in here. Also I am looking for someone else to co-own the group, so if you are interested send me a PM and we can get you on board! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and you all remembered to nibble nibble, rather than gobble gobble!!! Onward to Christmas (or Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or whatever fantastic winter holiday you prefer ;) I hope everyone is having a safe time, and didn't get trampled too hard on Black Friday :)

Happy Holidays!!

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

I am also at Fort Lewis. Thanks for the post it has been a little quiet here but I just joined two weeks ago. I'm still waiting for my surgery date, the process is so long but well worth the wait. Take care and happy packing to Fort Bliss, TX.

Thanks! I know the pathways program can be a little frustrating, but if you're anything like me, it will seem like it's d....rrraaaaagggginnnnngggg by lol. But once you're actually in that hospital bed, you're like OMG it's finally happening!!! Lol! Best of luck to you!!! Do you have a surgeon yet, or have you just been to the seminar?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
