Whew- finally the board is open!
I'm Feb 22 and I feel VERY unprepared and nervous! My doc has done many surgeries but this is only his 4th with this new clinic...and the clinic seems to have no earthly idea what they are doing. I know people who had to take info classes and learn all about the surgery and life after. I was given a little bound info book that left me with even more questions than it had answered. Eek...I just hope everything goes okay and I can figure out what all I'm supposed to be doing after the surgery!
Best of luck everyone!!!
Best of luck everyone!!!
VSG scheduled for February 8. Just found out yesterday and was wisked into the pre-op diet with no time for "last meal". Protein drink for breakfast and lunch. For dinner, 4 - 6 oz lean meat and all the non-starchy vegetable I want. Up to 3 snacks consisting of either 4 oz yogurt or 1 to 2 oz low fat cheese or 1 - 2 oz deli meat or a piece of fruit. Dr. wants to shrink the liver.
Hi Everyone ;)
Wanted to see how everyone was feeling. I am about to have my surgery on February 20th and getting so very nervous. I had a lot of problems with my insurance company, it was definitely an emotional roller coaster to get it approved. My prayers are with all of you ;) Please keep in touch!!

Hi Everyone ;)
Hoping all are feeling well ;) I can't believe it is a week now that I have had it done. I was so sore my first couple days, really sore, but feeling so much better now. I have gotten used to the eating in Stage 1, now getting worried about Stage 2 lol. There is so much to learn and I don't want to fail at what I am doing. I see my Surgeon on March 1st and most likely will let me advance to the next stage. I bought yummy protein shakes from About Time.com. They have so many flavors to chose from. Just worried how to incorporate them with the other new things we are able to have. I know it is pureed things to eat, not sure if I am going to like my tunafish in a blender lol... I am open to any suggestions to what everyone is doing. Thanks so much ;) and plz keep in touch
