VSG on 05/06/14

Hi Laura!

I actually had my surgery on May 6, I started Opti on the 15th, so that is where I am starting my "loss count" from. I admit that I did not lose weight pre-Opti as the previous year before it was probably the hardest of my life, but I didn't gain more than a couple lbs either. I think since surgery I've lost 11 lbs (in two weeks). Some people lose a lot more, but I've had a VSG so maybe things are slower.

I'm so glad things have worked out for you! I am getting pretty bored of sitting at home. I should get my act together and start walking way more. As for the calcium, I don't think I could do liquid but I have some tasty sugar-free chews that are from Shoppers.

I cried in the waiting room, but not in the OR for some reason. I think once I was in there I was just like "let's do this". I also tend to crack jokes when I'm nervous, so I was making them laugh. lol
