I stopped the clear broth probably the end of the 1st wk...but i'm still on full liquids...I drink mostly protein shakes made with Ocean Spray Cran-Energy and a little lt vanilla Soy Milk mixed with it...then for lunch I have my cream of chicken or cream or cream of  something soup (made with skim for more added protein), and if hungry another shake...but i snack on the usual sf jello, pudding, etc...and get my walking in....but I still could go for some shrimp fried rice or a half cheese steak! Its so crazy i tell you....I wish they could have came up with some form of pill for us to take after the surgery to fight against head hunger!!!!!
Paula Deen, I think just make up the nastiest recipes sometimes...that stuff she come up with will give anyone a freaking heart attack! I know she don't eat half the stuff she makes on tv...
As far as the negative comments, just ignore them...you are whats important and being healthy...putting yourself first once and for all...to hell with everyone else you know!

Take care, continue doing going....oh and try that cream of chicken soup for variety if you want...4-6oz though...its yummy!

I had VSG 4/15/09 and I too feel that my clothes fit the same.  According to the scale I've lost 27 lbs and I'm hungry all the time.  I don't think my surgery is working very well.  I'm constipated and I'm very scared that I will have a sluggish weight loss.  I can eat about as much as I could before surgery.....Please give me your feedback.

Hi Everyone!

I seem to be slightly challenged on my OH page, and replying to posts is different than other sites that I have been on.

I am glad to see that you are on a treadmill, right before surgery mine broke, and my DH is "working" on it.  It seems like it either raining or 90 degrees here, but I do stuff at home and up and down the steps quite frequently.

I am still on the clear liquid diet.  I cannot tolerate anymore broth. At All. Period. Friday I progress to the mush diet.

My scale is also broken so I only have the amount of weight I lost when I went to get my drain out, which was 11 lbs. in 6 days.  Kinda scary.   I know, alot of water loss..

Is anyone having issues with dizziness, or really dry mouth?  Last night I could not even wear my Cpap.  I also seem to be having issues with remembering things, words, spelling, what I was doing, etc.

It's funny sxycop but I have been watching cooking shows, and trying to find heathier ideas.  I thought I was a good cook, but that was before, and now I need to relearn some stuff. And as much as I like her, not any Paula Deen recipes..

BTW, I am still getting those negative comments.  Really irritates me.

Hope everyone is doing great and getting lots of support from those that love you!

I'll really be glad to get this over now. Ive been on this pre op diet for several weeks and I'm sick of it! I want to be on the losers bench for good!!

Hi Jessikaw,

My surgery was 4/15/09 and I've lost 23 lbs and my clothes still fit.  I don't get it.    I'm getting a little sad.
