@@Vsglady Queens blog is addictive. Best wishes to you on your journey. As w/any surgery there will always be risk & some hard days but just focus on the end result & the reason you are doing it. It's all for the better good.

Whoops tried to to post before but it disappeared. Just wanted to thank you for your support and encouragement. It really means a lot . Besides my immediate family I have only told 2 friends. Although they are both support one lost 50 pounds on her own years ago and maintains the loss and the other has always been a size 6. So as wonderful as they are it it means a lot hearing from other vsg ers.

Hi everyone....wow, so many October peeps here!!!! I think it's a good omen for sure.....I can't believe I am coming up on my 3rd surgiversary.....and thank you to all of you for your sweet notes about my blog....for sure I will start writing it again, maybe do a once a month blog starting in October. You all have inspired ME! This week I joined a gym and I am loving it. (Keep in mind, I have never been athletic, never been a runner, never been good at exercise). But I have a lot of good music and podcasts on my iPhone and I am loving my time there each morning. It feels like 'me' time. I am at 65K (144 lbs) and I really want to get down to 133. I have a huge even to go to at the end of November (a masked ball in Berlin!) so I want to be able to get into something very slinky.

Anyway, congratulations to all those that are on the cusp of a new life.....I just realized I'm not sure I should be in this group because I will be 61 in October.....can I stay please? You are all so nice!

Yes please stay in this group, I loved reading your first year journey. I found it amazing that you had the courage to do all the traveling so soon after surgery. It made me realize that no mater where I go I can also find something to eat on the menu or at a party, I just remember if queen of the crop could do it all over the world I can do it in my limited traveling. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Is that acceptable No desire to try the chocolate or vanilla, feel like it would not be good. does anyone know of anywhere that you can a small container or samples of some of these >

I've been slowly getting the bottles of Premire Protien 30 grams Protien from SAMs club. I also have Ungery in chocolate and plain also the chicken one. Also bought a sample pack from them so I'm set with drinks. Oh for my liquid 2 weeks I have slimfast also. They haven't said anything about a 2 week liquid diet but I hear so many that I figured I'd stock up. Then what I don't like after surgery my fiancé will drink lol.

Have a great day ladies

      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.
