I hope the moderators do not mind me posting this because it is a link to a blog on another forum about weight loss surgery--but I don't care if I get in trouble for it. The sheer hope and amazing story that I am going to show you is worth the risk. I am soooo inspired by this lady you have no idea. She makes me so hopeful. There are so few long term VSG post ops out there that seeing this just makes me realize that regain does NOT have to happen--we don't have to gain back half of our weight---or all of it. Or any of it! We can be successful!

You will NOT regret reading this!

Great story, I wonder why nobody has replied to it. Also kinda interesting that it is 1 year old today.

I know...I am hoping she updates again soon. She has posted now and then on the Obesity Help main forum a few times. I wish I could find some of her posts from the past. I have seen her post before.

Her VSG 8th surgiversary is on 11.2.12! I hope she remembers to update! :-)

      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.
