Oh, boy. I just got the call from my surgeon's insurance coordinator. My health insurance has approved the surgery! It looks like I'm definitely on for 2/22. I have my PAT on Friday. My after surgery prescriptions have already been called in and are ready for pickup...as soon as I get paid on Friday. Oy. The big day seems so much realer now!

Hey guys I had VSG on 2/06/12, I am on another forum, but wanted to also hit this one up from time to time. Mine went so well, no complications, first night in ICU because my doc wanted to monitor me, but after that when I was finally allowed I progressed extremely fast. Well I lost about 20 lbs in the hospital and day 7 went home (stayed longer because I live out of country) put on some pureed and now soft foods, as soon as those hit my lips the weight loss stopped. I have read a lot of people who stalled week 2 or 3, but it is frustrating, 6 days now eating 800 calories and getting all my Protein and Water and not one ounce dropped, heck I think my scale just said I went up in weight. I know its natural but its messing with my head. Anyway whats up name is Ken!

For me I have to watch carbs BIGTIME. My PcP prescribed me metformin and a higher dose of HRT and synthroid 200mcg ;) good looking out doc. I love my new age doc. It takes me 3 days to get into ketosis. In ketosis I see the most burn. I lost a little over 20lbs as of today just messing around with ketosis

Oh Yeah! we're almost sisters. I'll be there alone so I'm sure I'll be sleeping on the 27th and then plan to check on you after your surgery. Can I buy you a drink? I hear they have some awesome broth.... lol

      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.
