I'm so excited because I got my VSG about 9 months ago and my life has completely changed and for the best, I never thought that I would finally learned to love myself, to respect my body and treated the way it deserves to be treated.

I always had dreams, ideas but never had the confidence to do them just because I was fat and I was ashamed and terrified about others talking about my appearance (We've all been there I guess) and It took me a long time to see that all it matters is how you feel and just stop being afraid 'cause let's face it we miss so much when we have that attitude... Now I feel so proud of myself and this is the first time I say something like that and I'm proud of every single person that's going through this journey 'cause it's not easy but it's so worth it and remember that extraordinary people have the strength to keep walking through this path

One of the things that I enjoy so much is just cooking but not only for me but others and my beautiful friends convinced me to start blogging so I upload videos with recipes on youtube if you would like the links just let me know and please tell me about your stories

wish you all the best :)

      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.
