Just wanted to say hello to the room and I hope that I will be spending a small part of each day here with you as I continue on my journey to health.  I am to have VSG on Aug 2nd at GBMC - Dr Liao is my surgeon, so anyone who has had the sleeve, or is a patient at GBMC,  I would love to hear from you!

Hi Susan,

Welcome to the forum I  wish you much success with your surgery.

Susan,
My Dr. is also Dr. Liao at GBMC.  He was great.  I just had my surgery on July 9th.  The staff at GBMC was wonderful too.  Best of luck to you.

good luck on your journey. we are all here to help

Thanks to all who welcomed me aboard.  From what I gather, taste buds change after surgery, so I am just trying to be sure that I have the basics on hand for the clear  & full liquid phase and will go from there.  I have the strainer, blender, food scale, whey protein in chocolate, vanilla & unflavored, chicken broth, sf popsicles and jello, greek yogurt, cottage cheese & sf pudding cups. Can anyone think of anything else I will need for the first week or two?  Thanks fo your insight & suggestions!

Good Luck Susan!!!! I'm having surgery one week before you. I'll let you know how things go! Keep in touch! :)

Thanks Melissa!  Please let me know how things go. Where are you having your procedure done and which procedure are you having?
