Well to cut a long story short today (almost 2 years post op) I was admitted to hospital due to abdominal pains (GP was worried it might be vsg complication?!?).

It was a long, and inconclusive day, but because I don't have a follow up package with my surgeon today was the first time I have been weighed by a medic since my surgery, which was my silver lining.

Last time a doctor weighed me I was deliberately wearing very little and had a BMI of 36, today I wasn't expecting to be weighed, so was wearing jeans, two jumpers and my sturdy shoes I could have kissed the dr when she announced my BMI was 23.

I knew that's about what it was, but my official weight on my medical records is now not obese! :)

Hi iegal,

No diagnosis given, no clear explanation for my symptoms, but stats all stable, so they decided whatever it is isn't serious, and sent me home with pain relief.

Glad it's nothing worrying, but slightly frustrated that its still a mystery!

      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.
