HI Laura-Ven.

I have not had my surgery yet, I am in the beginning stages (Confirming my Anthem Blue Cross coverage yada yada) I have not talked to a doctor yet, but am planning very soon. I'm nervous but anxious also in the procedure. I have done my research and VSG is my choice. "its time".

When was your surgery? How are things? you can PM me or post here.

Hey snap,

My surgery was 11-13-12 things are going well. Some days I get down on myself because I'm a slow loser. But most days I just deal with it. I feel pretty good no complications, definitely glad I did it.

Did you every make it to the support group? What I did was checked my insurance online to see if they cover it ( yes they did) then I made an appointment with the dr and they did everything else dealing with the insurance...

      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.
