I see that yours is at St. V's, I looked him up on line. I started with them in 2005 and then was side tracked, I was going to get the band. I'd explain why I did not but thats a story, I did how ever get through most the prelim stuff and psych and NUT exam, tests too.

Yes, this is my first. I think the VSG is best for me too. I already need to have extra Vitamin and have a deficiency caused by rejection from my body, I don't have an average or reversable deficiency. I need the Vit's that I can get having a sleeve.

What happened the first time around is something I don't want to just discuss out right but it was not me or my surgeon who would not had done it, just a circumstance.

same group as you are with, can't recall the doc I had though, sorry.

      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.
