Introduction And My Journey



Recommended Posts

Hello, My name is Linda and I am 44 years old.

I am a Wife, Mother to one Child and Proudly owned by three Dogs and 5 Cats :)

In August 2010 was found to have Cancer cells on my Ovaries, which resulted in a total hysterectomy.

After then the depression started and I turned to food for comfort. I have Diabetes, Asthma and other medical problems.

I decided last year I was going to take back control of my life and after discussion with my Family will go ahead with the sleeve surgery.

My pre op is on the 14th August and the surgery on the 21st August.Thank you all for taking the time to read my Intro and I wish you all well on your Journeys.

Linda x

Hi Linda! I am also a 44 year old mother of 2 with 3 cats and 2 dogs. I had the sleeve on may 7. The recovery was tough and I worried I would be miserable forever, but that passed and I feel great! No regrets and a whole new (smaller) me. Good luck!

Hi Linda. Welcome to VST. You've made a good decision to take charge of your life and a great decision, in my opinion, to have VSG. Best of luck to you in your journey.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
