6 days Post surgery....not nearly as bad as I thought, experiences and some advise to pre ops.
Hello all, Thank you to all of you with whom I've conversed with on what to expect via surgery. Considering I had my abdomen cut open and my stomach removed, the pain wasn't that bad for that long, I was completely off codeine two days after surgery. I do get twinges if I'm not careful getting up and down, or cough. I was…

Gagh! Stall.
Oh boy, it's happened to me too! HA. Trying not to let it freak me out, I'm enjoying the process. Keeping to my calories, very low sodium, and I'm working out again. Though it is hard to see the scale not budge after it's free fall of late. I think it's because I just started biking and running again, but it should start…

Gathering and building your support system
Hello all, Loving hearing about the struggles with food, but I'm going to step away from focusing on the eating/food and talk about some of the mental changes that are and will happen... I'm getting closer and closer to my pre op goal weight. As I've modified my diet, I've also had to come to terms with some emotional…

Greetings, and my hunger games.
Well hello there VSGers.....I've been lurking for a bit. I'd decided to come and talk to you all because I'm having a bit of a struggle. I am on my pre op diet of about 1200 calories a day to get down only a few more pounds until I am cleared for surgery. the first three weeks were fine, no problems, no cheating, no…
