Hi! I ate ALOT of soup!! Homemade too-- I also liked malt o meal as opposed to oatmeal for a change--

I would freeze a banana or 2 or other fruit all cut up in lil pieces lol and then I'd put it in the lil food processor and it was like ice-cream! Best if the fruit is very ripe!

I think I did Protein shakes my favs were GNC lean and glucerna

Also the lil laughing cow cheeses and scrambled eggs

Also if u like hot teas- herbal and plain that can help w hunger as well as plain chicken broth

Dont worry about messing up- I did great until a couple of days before and then I messed up but it was still ok

Hello, 3 weeks post-op today and feeling good! I had my sleeve done in El Paso at Las Palmas with Dr. Michael Lara. I live in ABQ:). I hope you all are well. I find this site more difficult to navigate now.

Tomorrow is my final Nutritionis visit before they submit the insurance forms to approve my surgery. I was told I had to lose 23 lbs by then and this morning I reached it!!! yay!. The day after tomorrow I meet with the Dr.....not sure what that is about but it is a counsutation. I'm working with Dr. Vuong at Lovelace Westside.

Also, I found a protien shake that is actually good for you. No chemicals, artificial anything, no dairy or nuts. The brand is called RAW and it isn't the best tasting but I added PB2 to it and it was fine. Low in calories too, but plenty of protien.

I feel good....I definitely struggle right now with getting in my Protein and nutrients, but I assume it will get easier as time goes by. It still doesn't seem real.

Hi ladies!! Just came across this thread. Love that there's a New Mexico group here. I had my VSG at Forrest Park Medical in Dallas on May 7 2014. Almost a year now. I was born and raised here in big city of Carlsbad. Look forward to reading more awesome posts from you all.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
