I'm getting ready to run a couple of errands close to the house and depending on the roads will determine if I would make it tomorrow or not :). But I could use the break from the house and kids lol

KC SLEEVERS....please let me know if you would rather keep tomorrow or reschedule for a week from tomorrow.

My street has not been cleared well due or stupid people leaving their cars on both sides of the street:( I would rather go next week, that's just my vote. of course I am a wimp when it comes to driving in snow. So I may not be able to come tomorrow but I hope I can make the next one. How often to you all meet up?

I wish I could come but it is my son's birthday party tomorrow. I am a Mexico sleever so it would be fantastic to meet up with other vsg-ers in my neck of the woods. I had surgery 10 months ago and have lost 186 lbs and am just a about 6 lbs to goal. It would be great to talk to people who understand and who have been through the same thing. How far out is everyone? Anyone in maintenance? Cant wait for the next meet up!

Holli,

You are an amazing success story!! An inspiration. Husband and I are a year out. He lost 100 and me 65. Then....hernia surgery and total shoulder replacement for him, and losing stopped. I quit going to the gym due to chronic reinjury.I have 25 more to go, he has 40-50. Now we are back in the swing. But I struggle mentally. My hunger never left, his did. This surgery is awesome and you have kicked butt! Bikerchick comes to meetings and she is in maintenance and looks/feels great. Please come to the next one. I will post date. Lisa

Lisa, Thanks so much for your reply. You and your husband are quite a success as well! How cool, a husband and wife team. I bet your grocery bill is next to nothing! It would be great to meet everyone.. and for me, especially those out a little further.

      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.
