Just made another account on Instagram. It is a private account to track my VGS journey. I'm not quite comfortable making it open to the public yet😉 IG name is ShrinkingMom.

I'll follow you.

I don't have any friends of family on my account since I've always used it for weight loss. Before I switched it over to my surgery info I went through and kicked anyone out that was remotely familiar with me in the real world. lol

So I’m waiting for my ride home from the hospital. I completed my last round of pre-op testing. Blood work, health evaluation, chest x-ray, and I pre-registered for my surgery. Still super excited! Can’t believe my new life is almost here! On day 3 of liquids, still not hungry but I do miss the ability to chew and I’ve had to have a little Soup to get rid of the sweet taste of the shakes and yogurt. I am doing fine though. Down another 2lbs, 5 more days of full liquids then 2 of clear. I’m hanging in there!

Glad to hear you're doing well! My pre-op diet is Protein Shakes only. Pretty much dreading that!

Question for the group:

Now that we are chugging through Summer and members are beginning to have their surgeries, what do you think about having a separate thread dedicated to post-op discussions?

I don't want to lose the momentum of this thread, but it is getting somewhat bulky with the number of introductions of people checking in. I think it would be nice to have a clean thread for the post-op support we'll want.

Thoughts? Love it? Hate it?

I think that would be awesome.

I'm all done! Anesthesia makes me super sick so I was a whiny baby for a few hours after surgery but now I just feel sore and a little gas pain in my shoulder. Morphine pump is probably helping on that front 🤣🤣
