WOO This is a bit surreal. I never ever ever thought that I would sign up for weight loss surgery. But here I am 29yrs old, 340lbs and scheduled for VSG 5wks from now. Amazing.

I'm all a bundle of nerves both good and bad ones.

Looking forward to the journey to a healthier me...for myself, my husband, and our 4 great kids. I want more than anything to be able to run and play with them at the park and hopefully I'll be able to do that very very soon.

I'm right there with you. Looking forward to surgery, but somewhat apprehensive. I'm scheduled for April 13 and weigh about the same as you. Let's stay in touch and encourage each other. It will be good to have a sleeve sister!

YOU can do it. I am down almost 50 pounds and I can't tell you how great I feel. I did this for my husband and my two small children. I want to live a long and healthy life with my family. Nerves are very common. You will get through this and feel great!

Hello Apple-saucy;

Congratulations on taking charge of your life. You are willing to step up and will see great results. Imagine all those things you want...like playing with the kids and husband. Not all dreams will come true within first couple of months but good things will happen as you continue to loose and change habits. Anxiously await to hear about your journey.

      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.
