I'm with Valentine, MLD and AshleyC! Yay for July 18th!

Good luck to those already sleeved or being sleeved today. You're forging our path here!

Fat4Now, I'm so sorry! Insurance will definitely help financially but I know how bummed you must be. Is there anything we can do to help? Remember, we've been through it!

Sorry, just reread. Apparently AshleyC is July 8. My bad! That's what I get for posting early in the morning. Hopefully I'm over this insomnia by the 18th!

Mini-update- Sugery went well. I slept most of yesterday... & was up & down all night peeing (i have IV fluids. The doctor will be doing a leak test today and afterwards I'll be able to have Clear Liquids. So far I'm having a really good experience! I'll probably be writing a full post in another forum soon, so be on the lookout for that and good luck to you all!!!

I was also thinking maybe we should add an email address so that people can get Best wishes while they are recovering. I know when I am not feeling well, things like that make me feel better.

I will start. My email is: sheila.pinkney@shaw.ca

Anyone is welcomed to email me for any reason. I am happy to discuss VSG or any topic with you.

Sheila

      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.
