Sorry Hugapug...but it's good that you know what the problem was and are being treated and when it's erradicated you'll be all the more healed and ready to move on with your new tummy. God speed in your healing and may he bless the life ahead of you.

Home from the hospital after a two day stay and a hearty dose of antibiotics. I'm feeling much better; thank you for all of your warm wishes! The funny thing is that the pain was all infection and if it weren't for that, the vgs would have been a pretty smooth ordeal. For those lurkers out there (I'm of the former ranks) it really is true what they say! You very well could have your procedure on a Thursday and be back to work on a Monday. Truly amazing.

You sound very positive after a bump in your road! Good for you!

and yep - I did exactly that. Surgery on Thursday and work on Monday. I am mainly at a desk so was able to get up and walk when needed. I worked 3-6 hours a day that first week, and full time the 2nd week.

Hope the rest of your experience is smoother! And the scale is no longer an enemy!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
