I could really use a supportive buddy...



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone....I could really use a mentor friend...I have had the VSG almost 6months ago...but feel that I dont have anyone I can talk to about my surgery...or feelings relating to my surgery...or just the changes that I am going through....feels like nobody really understands. I would really love a buddy or buddy's that I would be willing to email or Facebook. I would appreciate the support. :frown1:

Hey Jenn! I know what you mean about nobody other than those on this forum understanding. My family & friends are supportive, but don't really get it at the same time. Feel free to email me at randi.wedekind @ gmail . com. I have Facebook as well, but my settings are set to make me unfindable, so if you'd rather Facebook, just PM or email me your name. :)

      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.
