Recommended Posts

Hello. I have decided to have vsg surgery. My sister and brother had it and my brother is at goal weight already and my sister is 50% there. My 2 questions are 1) during the preop phase how long do you have to diet before naving the surgery? And secondly has anyone used adipex during the diet phase to help with the hunger until surgery?

I don't know what adipex is, but I think every surgeon is different. Mine only required a 24 hour clear liquid diet prior to surgery.

Adipex is a wonderful appetite suppressant that literally takes away your appetite and makes you feel really good and full of energy....You will definitely almost forget to eat!!! It actually contains a mild form of amphetamine. But I didnt get any side effects what so ever!!! and it worked for as long as i took it.....but when you stop the appetite comes back...

Hi there! I am having my VSG on thursday, this thursday Nov. 4th. I had to be on a 4 day liquid diet. Today is day 3. Yesterday I had a HUGE headache....got thru that and today is better. One more day to go. I have to tell you it is not easy but.........it is what I have to do. Every Doctor has his or her own pre-op and post-op diet plan. The more I read from others we all just follow what our Dr. tells us. Best of luck to you. You will do GREAT. Vicki

Do you have to do the 3 or 6 month supervised diet for insurance approval? That is the only reason I can see for needing to take a diet pill or if your surgeon wants you to lose weight pre op. My pcp put me on phentramine during the 3 month supervised, but I hated how it made me feel. I took adipex years ago and lost weight and gained it right back after stopping it.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
