A few last questions:

1) How do you feel?

2) What has your experience been with the VSG?

3) Anything you would change?

4) What don't you miss?

1. I feel pretty good overall. I am having some gallbladder issues... Currently seeing doctors to figure all if that out. But besides that no issues. I haven't thrown up at all since surgery. My biggest thing is when I eat something I shouldn't (high in fat or sugar) I get diahrhea (sp).

2. My experience has been very good. Besides the gallbladder issue its been very easy. I have had a stall here and there (especially around my period) but that is normal. I also am losing hair... But that is normal as well.

3. If I could change anything I would like to have been more informed by my doctors about gallbladder issues. I did a lot of research and attended all appointments but somehow the gallbladder issue never came up. I am now on actigal but I know a lot of people are prescribed that to take right away... I wish I had it to prevent the gallbladder problems... Not to treat it afterwards like I am.

4. What don't I miss? I don't miss my life revolving around food. Now don't get me wrong... I still think about it a lot and I deal with head hunger A LOT! But my body is never starving. I can do a lot more now that I've lost weight. I feel somewhat more outgoing... I can fit into more chairs. I can lick my toe (I know... Disgusting but I just had to try!). I can clean myself better. I can walk with NO back pain. So many things.

Hope this helps!

Hi' date=' what was your weight at time of surgery?

Great Job![/quote']

My weight was 370. I wasn't required to lose any weight before surgery. The only stipulation was that I couldn't gain any weight before surgery.

      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.
