Just got my new surgery date moments ago.. My original date was May 23rd. I chose to change it because my husband’s is tomorrow May 16th and I wanted to be able to help him with his recovery.. So my new date is JUNE 5th!!! I start my liquid diet on June 1st. I wish all the best!! ADD ME AS A FRIEND SO WE CAN KEEP IN TOUCH

Hey Nikki, I hope your hubby feels better soon and makes a quick recovery so he can help you thru your surgery! Prayers to you both.

Hi everyone ! I just received my referral and I'm in my way to my first appointment with dr. choi @ montifiore hospital in bronx New York. I'm so happy but very very scared , I've never had surgery before and this scares me a lot although your stories and experiences keep me motivated and positive. Hopefully by September (which is my birth month) ill be approved. I'm definitely leaning more towards VSG being that my family has a history of Colon issues. I've been over weight all my life and now 38 and tired of feeling sorry for myself. Not only do I want to look good but I want to feel good as well. I think what worries the most too is the long term with VSG. Anyway any advice would be greatly appreciated and opps almost forgot , I'm 318 pounds and i want to know if anyone weighing this much has gotten VSG and how many pounds have they lost? Thanks so much for all your help & support and congrats to the ones on the losers side!!! :)

      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.
