Tips and tricks, recipes, and my journey following Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery.

I am 44 and had a VSG in February 2010 - this blog is a space to share my experience, tips and tricks, and recipes as I progress.
You look fabulous! Wow, all in a year. Great job. Your recipes links look amazing too. I'm considering VSG over lapband. Can you please tell me what your "rules" for eating after surgery are? Like for the band, you cannot drink through a straw ever again, you have to stop drinking liquids for 30 min before/after a meal. Are there rules such as this with VSG?
ReplyDeleteI have no no problem with straws, although some surgeons do not recommend them. I drink up to a few minutes before meals, but do wait until 30 minutes after before drinking again.
ReplyDeleteSurgeons' instructions vary,but this has been very easy for me to adapt to.
Good luck!
Wow, what a difference. It's amazing how great you look...can't wait until I'm as thin as you. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! You look amazing, and I'm so impressed because you are not covering with clothing...like you could go and wear a bikini (if you wanted to IMO!) FANTASTIC JOB!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYay for you!!! Good work!! You not only look wonderfully beautiful, you're also an inspiration to all of us! I had my VSG 3 months ago and am looking forward to my anniversary to see how much progress I've made. You are proof that we can still eat well and lose weight! I look forward to more recipes and reading more about your experiences. - Nica
