Recommended Posts

I hope my fellow November sleevers are doing well!!!

I'm doing much better today (day 6 post op). Still have a little incision pain' date=' but not horrible.

Life is looking up!

I've decided to start a blog to chronicle my adventures with my VSG, so I thought I'd share it with you all...in case anyone is interested.

Today, I start the liquid diet phase of my journey. I honestly had a moment where I grieved for food last night, but I woke up with a renewed mindset and a Protein Shake. My whole life has revolved around food, Breakfast time we talk about what we will eat for lunch and lunch time we talk about what we will eat for dinner. I think that is the New Orleans in me, No more! I prayed this morning for strength to get through the liquid diet phase. Surgery is 7 days away....

Ok today is my day, sitting here with no sleep sick to my stomach and scared! I have to wait 2 more hours but I wish I could go now and get it done. I've read a lot of these posts and have learned a lot of people have to go through six months of appointments. In a way I feel like my time from the first consultation to now has been really to short.. But now I think it's good that's it's gone so fast because I've only had weeks to freak out instead of months..

Was sleeved on the 11th. Got discharged yesterday. Still sore but the key is to walk, walk, walk! Worse part was recovery but walking the first hour after recovery really helped. That barium swallow for the leak test was HORRIBLE! But good luck sleevers! Now to start losing!

I never got the barium swallow. Is that normal? My surgeon said that right after the surgery they puff up the new pouch with air and spray Water over it to look for bubbles... I always hear about the barium swallow and wonder if I am the only one who never got it...

      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.
