I think vlogs are really helpful for people who are considering weight loss surgery and those who have decided to have surgery but are still pre-op. Other than Tiffany's, I haven't really watched any since I was about a week post-op, but I know they really helped me to understand what I would be going through and gave me some inspiration in seeing the kind of change that could possibly be me one day! I think, in particular, that VSG vlogs are great because there are not as many of them out there (as opposed to the band, or RNY)! I think it's a great idea. :)

I say vlog!!! I just started vlogging on my private health blog. I may go public later but right now privacy is something I want. As a suggestion if this interests you, I keep my blogger blog private for invited readers only, and I use Vimeo for my videos. It is higher quality than YouTube with no time limit (but you do have to pay if you want that feature I think)... and it allows me to password protect my videos but still embed them in a site. So on my blog which is for my invited readers only, I post the video and provide the password. But anyone who would happen on my Vimeo account through my other public videos would never know these private videos exist. :)

      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.
