Hi! I'm a 32 year old mom of 3 from upper east Tennessee.. I Had my vsg on Feb 2 in Nashville, tn. So far I have lost 87 lbs! I feel so much better but I still have problems eating the amount of Protein that I should. Any suggestions? I also went to the dr today for an infection under my loose skin on my belly. I look forward to body contouring when I lose all the weight cause this hurts! I will post some pics from before and now. :-)

Wow, you look amazing! I am exactly one week post op. I hope to lose as much as you at six months. Keep up the great work! I hit my Protein goals by drinking GNC's lean shake. Each bottle is 25 grams of protein, so I shoot for 3 per day. Surprisingly, they are quite tasty! Good luck in all your weight loss endeavors!

      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.
