Thanks! I have been in the program here since 2005, but didn't qualify for the RNY because of anemia. Once I found out the cause of my anemia (and that it won't get better), I contacted the program again this summer and was booked for December 13th. The doctor had just come back from learning the VSG in Quebec and was waiting for the right candidate to start doing them, and I was the right candidate!

Hi there! I had a VSG in Regina on December 13 , 2010, so I'm one week post and so far, so good. I am the first VSG patient in Saskatchewan, so I'm looking for people in Canada that have had the it, are waiting for it, and anyone else. The surgery went well, and the doctor was very pleased with the results. I'm covered in huge purple bruises - but otherwise feel pretty good. I lost 20 pounds in the 2 weeks pre-surgery and am no sure how much since. My scale has decided not to work! Anyway, the long story is that I'm really having a tough time with the 2 week post-surgery liquid diet. I'm hungry and bored of drinking Protein shakes. Everything tastes the same. Help!!! I was told I can try mashed potatoes & gravy at Christmas and then start adding yogurt, cottage cheese etc. afer that, but I need some help to make it another week. Anyone else out there struggling? Any support/advice is welcome.

me too

Hi! my surgery date is Dec 13 in Regina SK Canada. I'm 5 days into my 2 week pre-surgery liquid diet and struggling. I'm tired of just drinking fluids and am hungry all the time. How are you doing?
