This is my dad who almost died after his vsg but now happy and healthy 140 lbs lighter :)

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DAD'S weight loss. I'd be super proud too!

Can I please ask What happened? Were there complications with VSG or was it unrelated?

It was complications with his sleeve. Two days post op they found 2 pin holes in his stomach. He had gone septic and was on life support for 3 weeks. After he was released from the hospital he was so weak and could barely walk he also had a feeding tube in his nose for two months post op. he had at least 15 surgeries due to them trying to fix the leaks. He had stints and pig cells put inside to help heal...now he is great :) thank god!

      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.
