Hey VST peeps!!!

Here is just a update with my VSG journey. Started at 287 sleeved on 8/17. Had my 1 week follow 8/27 weighed 272. I DO NOT weigh myself at home. I don't want to stress over numbers. So rely on my clothing to let me know if I'm losing or not. My next weigh in will be at my 4 week visit on 9/20 I'll share those numbers at that time. *crossing grinders hope I went down some more*

Now with my sleeve. I am thankful to say I have had zero problems! I can drink Water, eat my food without any problems and take my Vitamins. My body let's me know I'm full by burping. But its scary. Bcos it seems like the sleeve isnt working. I mean it seems like those that were sick lost the most weight faster, Due to the fact they couldn't keep anything down.

Now I am on the puree stage and I pretty must just east Salmon, tuna, canned chicken, mashed potatoes Protein shakes, egg whites yougurt..jell-o pudding SF and SF eddy fruit bars. I measure everything and only consume 1/2-1/4 cups.

I can't lie days I don't feel hungry so I don't eat or one day I totally forgot to eat after the morning bcos I was out and about. SMH..But I still take my Vitamins.

I haven't had a BM in a few days and had to get stool softener. I sip throughout the day but it doesn't feel like I'm getting enough liquid in bcos I only pee like twice in a day. So odd! Before I had my VSG If I drank Water I was running back and forth tonthe bathroom.

Is anyone else having having bathroom issues?

My story is similar to yours. I was sleeved on Aug 27 weight that day was 247. Two weeks out I'm at 223. I've been at this weight now for three days. I struggle to get my Water in. I'm just moving into the purred stage and doing very well. I haven't been sick at all. Im disappointed that I seem to have stalled already. I meet with my nut tomorrow, looking forward to that. Mostly I'm scared that I want loose as much weight as I need to. I'm not sure where this fear comes from but I think it's from years of dieting and regaining. Good luck to you and me:)

Also I'm using Bodygold colon clenz, one capsule, everynight. It works greet and is very gentle. It goes down really well for me. I get it at Walmart.< /p>

I feel the same. The thing is I want to loose slow. At least that's what I say. Since I've been youtubing and on this sight I see how fast people drop and I'm like maybe I should go as fast as I can before the stalls. Idk maybe slower is better I know slower is better. Skin has time to tighten up. Things are so confusing.

      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.
