Awesome!! So glad your surgery went well. I do have a print out for stage 3, I'll see if I can figure out a way to send it to you.

Happy you did well on surgery!! I'm 6 mo post op and doing great....100# Down. Dr. Cronk was my Dr as well. I had problems with refried Beans or any Beans during that phase so I would recommend trying a little slowly and see how your stomach and digestive system handles them. They can be a bit much at first.

How much time off work did your surgeons recommend? Mine says two to five weeks which I find a bit vague.

I needed the full five but Im a slow healer. I had a lot of muscle pain around my stomach area and had a hard time learning initially how to keep foods down. Glad I stayed home as long as I did.

I only took 1 1/2 weeks off of work, I have a desk job. I wish I would have taken just a couple more days and made it a full 2 weeks. I'm a little tired, but really having no issues being back at work.

I tried a spoonful of cottage cheese this morning and it sat really well, no issues. Think I'll try scrambled eggs for dinner.

Had my first follow up today, a few days shy of 3 weeks. Dr. Cronk was happy with my progress and said I'm right on target. Saw the Nutritionist as well. I was shocked to see that Phase 3 foods lasts for FOUR WEEKS :-( I was totally expecting 2 weeks like the full liquid diet. Oh well, gotta suck it up buttercup.

I must say I really like Dr. Cronk and his office, but I am just not a fan of either of his nutritionists..

I took one week off. I sit at a desk all day, so there wasn't really any need for me to take additional time off.

I'm right there with you. I love Dr. Cronk, but the nutritionists were brusk, dismissive, and didn't listen to any of my concerns. I just had my 3 month follow up this morning and am FINALLY restriction free. So, don't expect to go back to normal eating until 3 months after surgery.

I have only met with one of his nutritionist and I was not a fan of her either. Glad to hear you guys are doing good! My surgery is Friday with Dr. Cronk.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
