Topic: I had my VSG on this past Tue.
Oh wow! Today has been rough! I have gotten my protein in & 75% of my water, but I feel like total crap! My 81 yr old limited mother is staying w/ us & my husband has been working all weekend and I like a fool have been getting up trying to help out w/ my 4 kids (10,8,7&5). I feel like I might be getting a UTI. I didn't do so well w/ my water intake on Fri & Sat. I just wish i could be comatose until this shotty phase passes.Anyway sorry for whining...carry on!

Thats great Tami sounds like you are doing better than me. lol. I started at 421 then did the phase 1 diet which is basically like atkins . I weighed at 380 on my last dr visit and now I am doing all liquid diet 4 protein shakes a day, fiber and milk/yogurt and have gained back 5 lbs...it makes no sense to me! I eat less than 600 cal a day and I am gaining. My dr wants me at 354 before surgery but I dont think I will make it to that . I have lost about 35-40 lbs so I am sure he will still do the surgery! I never knew how much I would miss food til you cant have it so nooo I do not think thats weird!. I have been swimming in my pool and it helps but with my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome its been hard to get to go every day!

Hi there, I started at 273 and now I am at 254. The Dr. set my goal at 250 but he's scheduled me anyway since I was close. It's been soo hard to change my eating habits. I've been flucuating up and down 2 to 3 lbs.. When I blow it, I just have a little talk with myself...LOL! Then I get back on track rather give up like I use too. I have cut out sugar and try to keep everything lowfat, low carb and small portions. If I am craving sweets, I'll have 1 small scoop of sugar free ice cream, but not every day. I will wait 3 to 4 days before I allow my self to have another.
What did the dr tell you? Do you have to meet a certain weight by your sugery date? I am planning to only drink mostly protien drinks for the next two weeks..
I am having a lot of mixed emotions..almost mourning my relationship with food. Is that weird? LOL!

p.s. oh and I go to water aerobics twice a week.. This has help me alot! I could barely move before because of the pain in my joints and back. I am moving much better now.

Day 3 of my liquid diet was tough. Mentally more than anything. Realizing how much our world and lives revolve around food! Every commercial, sign, street corner. FOOD!
