Here in Lakewood we have had steady drenching rain but no flooding. Fiancé works up in clear creek so no work Monday since its been declared a disaster area.

No snow until after 10/12 thank you.

Also my goal for the wedding was 170. I have my final fitting 9/21 and as of today I'm down to 169.

That is awesome! Congrats on hitting your goal (with a good couple of week to go still!) YAY!

Welcome yjt45...

If you look below your profile on your post, and click on where it says "My Surgeon: Dr. Frank Chae" and then look to the left where there is a column of words, one of them will say "patients" meaning who here has listed Dr. Chae as their surgeon and you will see he has 14 patients listed here at VST. Some of them are from this year. You could PM them for personal questions or maybe some of them will find this thread.

P.S. - 10-22 is an awesome date...(it was my surgery date 3 years ago also!) :D Best of luck to you on your journey!

Getting sleeved 10/22 by Dr. Chae in Colorado' date=' has anyone else been sleeved by him?[/quote'] LOVED Dr. Chae from the minute I met him; he was the reason I chose to move forward...so patient, respectful, experienced. Had surgery 06-18-13 at St. Joseph's...it was such a positive experience...fabulous care, patient, cheerful staff; I could go on and on...he gave me such hope! Down nearly 60...still can't believe I did it! Message me anytime for details! (Had a drain, no catheter, steristrips, no staples, etc.)

I have good days and bad days. I developed a stricture and finally had it dilated Monday! They found it at two weeks post op but couldn't fix it because it would have put pressure on the stitches. It's been a hard two months lol. How are you doing? I'd love a workout buddy around here!

Wow, sorry about your stricture! I thought they were much more common with the bypass but I have heard of it happening with the VSG. I hope things are better now!

I personally don't like massages but I know a lot of people love Massage Envy. They are everywhere and easy to make an appt. etc.

      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.
