Hi Everyone... I'm Back.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for not posting for so long. My mom passed away 7 weeks ago and my sister was living with me for 2 months and my life was turned upside down.

I am writing to tell you that on Nov. 12 I am having VSG. I am currently on day 11 of my 14 day liquid fast. My diet has consisted of 5 Diabetic Boost shakes per day, 2 tbsp. of skim milk, decaf tea and coffee and 0 calorie liquids like flavored water and Power Aid Zero.

The worst thing about the first few days was the caffeine withdrawal headaches. Even though I had gradually weened off of caffeine over a month, my body did not like it when it wasn't getting any. The headaches stopped after about four days.

I can't say I've been very hungry but my stomach sure does grumble a lot. lol.

I will check in when I am home and up to sitting at the computer for a bit.

Wish me luck. Thanks

Hi there, its good to see you. Congrats on getting through surgery. I havent been posting much either. I've kinda run out of things to say, really.

Hi
My surgery went very well. It was on Nov. 12, 2 weeks ago yesterday. I'm starting to feel quite a bit better since my larger incision is healing up now. I still get tired and a little sore at night, especially when laying on my left side.
I'm on the pureed stage of foods. Lots of Cream of Wheat, Oatmeal, Mashed Potatoes and Cream Soups. I've also had apple sauce, jello, broth etc. Tried tuna & light Mayo with some instant mashed potatoes last night. Everything has been going well no food has disagreed with me yet. Looking forward to being able to eat more solid food.
Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great evening.

Thats so good to hear! Its funny you mention sleep on your side. I almost always sleep on one side or the other and have been trying to fall asleep on my back (My thinking was that, at least for the first little while, I would HAVE to sleep that way). I havent been too successful with it yet thoughé
