Yesterday was 5 months since my VSG and as of this morning I've lost exactly 90 pounds! Only 90 more to reach my goal weight of 140. I'm so happy and so grateful for this tool. I'm starting to think I may actually make it to goal. :)

Thanks, everyone. My husband hasn't lost quite as much as me, but he didn't have as much to lose anyway. He's lost 85 pounds and is 4 pounds away from goal. We are so blessed to have found a way to have this surgery. Dr. Jayaseelan is forever my hero!

Awesome! Dr. Jay is the best. I'm 102 pounds down now and my husband is down 97 pounds and below his goal, working on reaching his stretch goal. Dr. Jay has such a light touch, the surgery was incredibly easy to recover from. Love him and his staff!

I just had my consult with him last week, a good friend was sleeved 2 years ago and reached her goal of 100 lbs lost in 7 months...needless to say she HIGHLY recommended him! I think he is so nice! I am self pay and that is my only complaint, that his office hasn't been totally upfront about costs, they kinda like to bait-and-switch. But that's not him, that's his office manager. He is wonderful and seems to think that because my BMI is fairly low that I will do well...I'm a School Nurse and waiting until summer break so the wait is tough...June 18 is the date! Can't wait!!

      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.
