So far no issues, I eat less than 300 cals a day and I am never hungry just miss food. You got Soup, I am jealous. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Perfect, I sip flavored Water, Protein shakes all day long, I am so bored. I don't track the oz's because that is where people feel as thought they are failing, I am hydrated and feel well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had VSG surgery 1/5/17, my Dr found I was not tolerating narcotics , I threw up with the first dose in the operating room and right after, and every time the nurse put it in my IV. I am doing great now, no nausea. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow, my sister had that band, she regained also, she refuses to consider another procedure. And says her band did not failGood Luck, your story makes me accept the $500 co pay that I have, it would have been $250 after 11 Jan because of new insurance options, but I was scheduled and did not want to reschedule. My surgery date is 5 January. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. My physician only requires liquid diet one day before surgery. They also told me that I shouldn't have any pain. They'll give me a shot that will keep the area numb for several days Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App We have the same day and both surgeries are in Fresno, are you with kaiser?

I like power bar Protein shake, it's 30g of protein and 160 cal like Premier Protein, I also love premier protein bananas and cream, I get the 4 pack at Walmart for $6.67 ea. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have been to both places, I like the areas. I wish my surgery date comes quickly, I am only working tue & wed this week, I should have taken off. My surgery is scheduled for 9:30am Thur, I still need to pick up my after surgery meds, I will go early on Thur to do that. My Dr says he does not do leak test since in 500 surgeries only 3 have failed. And I forgot to ask if I will have a drain, in any regard, I am ready. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the reply, yes VSG, I live in Fresno, CA and I am having my surgery at kaiser here. I could eat 800cal a day so I do 2 180 cal shakes and a low carb meal like chicken, steak and nothing else. Sorry I am not in your area but we can still keep in touch.
