Hi all,

Just wanted to share an NSV with you all... My cousins spent the summer vacation at my home and last weekend we all went to an amusement park. Now, I used to go on all the rides even before surgery. I have never felt embarassed or anything. But those 'single' seats always felt cramped and was a tight fit for me. It used to be a bit of a struggle to put the latch on the safety bar - my belly always resisted the attempts LOL!

But yesterday I did not have the problem at all!! There was a solid inch or two between my belly and the safety bar. I cant describe in words what I felt at that moment! Sure I see inch loss in my dress and everything, but when I look in the mirror, the only areas that I see the difference is in my face, neck and collarbone. This weekend proved to be my best yet this summer!

Anyway, I was so happy and just wanted to share my happiness with my VSG family!! Take care!!

      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.
