I had vsg surgery on the morning of July 6th. First day, my lights were knocked out all day. 2nd day, I was wondering what the heck I had done - did a Mac Truck run over me or did I have really have surgery???? I did get up and walk 4 or 5 painful times. 3rd day, I just slept and took it easy most of the day. Today, day 4, I am almost good as new. I've walked 2.56 miles (I picked up a digital pedometer last week at Brookstone). I haven't stepped on the scales yet, but my body is telling me the worst is over. And, in this Texas heat - mmmm --- sugar-free banana popcicles have become my favorite!!!

Hey everybody! I had surgery the morning of July 6! I was scared as they got me ready for surgery (all I kept thinking was where is my happy meds)! Finally they gave me my happy meds and nothing happened so they waited and they gave me more ....and once again nothing! So need less to say I was wide awake and scared to death when i went to the or! They knocked me out and they next thing I remember I was in recovery in serious pain! I couldnt cry i hurt so bad but it didnt last but a minute and they gave me meds and I was fine! I can say that is the only pain I have had besides the gas pains! The gas pains have been pretty bad but every day getting better! I havent been sick at all and drinking pretty much everything i want! I am very excited ..... I lost 10 lbs pre op now since being home i have lost 3lbs so thats 13 lbs total and im very swollen still!!!! Cant wait to see what I will be one month after surgery!:rolleyes:

      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.
