Hello Everyone!

I am patiently awaiting my surgery date(not really), should be early October. Wish it was this week! I am SO ready!

I have been overweight all my life, and now after 2 kids I am heavier than ever before. My g-ma & mom were heavy and I have dieted for as long as I can remember. I am tired, I hurt and I want to get healthy before I really start having serious health problems.

I am halfway thru my 6 months pre-op and I go for my EGD on Wednesday (eeeeek) I am nervous about that, but I always get nervous before any procedure. I have had 2 c-sections and I am hoping the VSG will not be any worse.

I have been looking around here for a week or so and I have gotten many great ideas & I am hoping this forum will help me the farther along I go.

Sounds like we should be having surgery around the same time! I have to have mine sometime after september 15th, so I figured I will be lucky if it happens sometime in October because of all the pre op testing that has to be done. I am super excited to go on the crazy roller coaster journey with you! I can't wait either. :)

Vsg is NOTHING compared to csections!

WONDERFUL to hear, because I had easy sections & healed fast, I wanna get this show on the road! I have never been more ready to do this. Good luck to everyone & easy recoveries!

      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.
