Remember that VSG changes your life..but you don't have to live in misery. I still enjoy foods like I did before, just can't over eat them. I stay away from the bad ones and focus on the ones I know are good for my body. The VSG will open your mind to health which many of us really weren't educated on. For you guys out there, I can still chug a half a beer. I'm doing it right now as I type. Your life doesn't have to end because you be come healthy, you learn to incorporate it. Now mind you, I can't drink a whole bottle of jager any more (I used to be a legendary partier). I'm loopy after 3 shots anymore..makes me a cheaper drunk and the ladies seem to like that!!!!!

Totally agree with mr worm. Seems scary in the beginning that no more of this or that but enjoy life people and don't deprive yourself totally... Live a little..... Still love my beer too and yes I got buzzed after only two beers last night. : )

Mr_Worm, I see that low carb is the way that leads to weight loss as well as lean Protein. I cannot find info on the VSG site about how low our carbs should be. Do you have any suggestions that led to your success?

      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.
