Whoop! Whoop! Had my annual physical today & received a clean bill of health! Vita D a little low, bad cholesterol a little high, but she expects those to level out after the surgery. And she's very excited for me about the surgery & can't wait to see all the changes in me in a year. Yay, me!

Southernsleever- You are my hero!! My starting weight was 276, but I'm an inch shorter than you. I'm now a size 22 and to think I could be an 8 next year is blowing my mind! I can't wait to have my 10/11/12 procedure, join a gym and hire a trainer (told my husband a gym membership and pers. Trainer is what I want for Christmas!) Keep up the good work, you are the exact motivation us "newbies" to this whole crazy VSG thang!

Wow, I'm at the top of the list! Getting nervous, reading too much about complications-someone made a list of everyone who's had a problem-added up to around 50 people-yikes! But trying to stay positive - there are LOTS of people with NO complications. Good luck to all of us! I'll keep in touch from the losers bench! (got pre-op blood work done today). :-)

      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.
