Topic: RE: Surgery Date 6/29/2010
I had sleeve surgery June 15, 2010.  On MY pre-op diet I was eating so many suger-free popsicles that i thought my tongue was going to get frost-bite. I couldnt stand the broths! I did have some Activia drinks, small sugar-free pudding & the night before surgery had dinner at The Cheesecake factory with friends...had a bowl of soup but only sipped the broth portion from the spoon..It was sooo yummy!  I've always been one to drink plenty of water.  I has absolutely NO problems with surgery. ...When you get home, the more you walk the better you feel.  I feel Great! <3

Topic: RE: June 14th!
Hi. I would love to be buddys. I have already been on protein shakes and milk but other than that only clear liquids. I should graduate to pureed foods on Thursday, as well as get my drain out.

I swear today I could smell cooking hamburgers. I never thought in a million years I would have such an issue with food. I saw the food in the fridge for my husband and I just wanted it soo bad.

This is why I never succeeded at any diet or food plan. Id get hungry and cheat. Believe me if I didn't think I would hurt mysefl I might have just grabbed a piece of lunch meat. I guess that's why we have suport groups and forums like this.

Anyway, hope your doing well. Keep the faith that it will be worth it and in time it will be.

As for protein shakes I've been doing. Eas advant edge carb control. Hope that helps.

Hi All,

I had VSG on 6/14. Hope all of you are feeling better. It does get better by the day. I had buyers remorse for about 36 hours. I can see my face changing already. LMK how you all are doing. I would love to hear from you all. This site is so much better than any support group I've been to in person.

Best of luck
Renee

Congratulations! By now you have had your surgery. We have the same Surgiversary. I had VSG on 6/14. Hope you're feeling better. I am, day by day getting stronger. I must say I am quite sick of clears and am looking forward to protein shakes. Have you researched any brands? Would love to have a buddy with the same day. LMK if you would like one too.

Best of luck,
Renee

I know what your going through i just had my revision from LB to RNY on 03/16/2010 and the post surgical liquid diet is a detox, you will get through it!  You will need to in order to get the desire to eat so much outta your brain not your tummy!  I used to chew things to take the flavor out and spit it out inthe garbage and it really help ALOT......Hope this helps!
