I'm scheduled for a VSG on 10/19 and I have a couple of questions.

1. How do I post my weight loss tracker from tickerfactory.com

2. Has anyone tried the Unjury products? I really want to know about the chicken Soup.< /p>

3. I work in the ICU, is 2.5 weeks off enough?

4. What about Vitamins? optisource, opurity, or prescription vitamins

Thanks in advance :)

I believe your doctor will give you that information or you should call the office. I am having my surgery Oct. 18 and my doctor said I didn't have to do anything...he just asked me to lose 5 lbs before surgery. You know if you can't lose your weight before it seems funny for them to ask you to do all the pre-op dieting stuff.

I went through the nutrition course and psychologist consultation in June. I was wondering about the Vitamins and supplements seen online.

Hi there, i enjoy the Bariatric Advantage products, they are really good for me. . I loved and still enjoy the chicken boullion cubes, you can get them with 1/2 the salt as well. . . 2 1/2 weeks is good. . . you will need the rest. . i took off that much time and was glad i did. . . . vitamins are good for you even if you don't have surgery. . . your not re routing your system like with the RNY but vitamins are good. . I still take my B12 sublingual (at walmart) Vitamin D (gummies and RX) Multivitamins (gummies). . . don't do gummies right away I just now started taking them (i'm 9 months out). . . I have a problem metabolizing Vitamin D so i have to take prescription D and a over the counter. . .you'll find how to put the ticker on if you check out vertical sleeve assistance closer to the bottom the forum page. . . good luck! your going to do great! :)

      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.
