Hi, so glad to see some SC people on here! My husband and I both will be having VSG with Dr. Jason Johnson. We don't have surgery dates yet, but we are jumping thru hoops now. We already had our initial consultations, 6 weeks of supervised diet, meeting to go over medical records, and have appts for psyche, exams, and endoscopies in the next couple of weeks. Anyone here had surgery by Dr. Johnson in Spartanburg?

I had Dr. Anderson in Greenville. Not sure is who Dr. Johnson is, but good luck to you both! Every day is an adventure through this journey. I am now down 102 pounds, 6 months out of surgery! It was so worth it!

      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.
