Sharing my new VSG journey



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I am a new member and have recently begun my journey to VSG. I met with my surgeon Jan.10th as well as the Bariatrician, and have scheduled appts with the psychologist and dietitian for Jan. 24th. I have to complete six months with the dietitian before my surgery can be scheduled, but I wanted to start as soon as possible with the consults and also start working on changing my eating habits little by little as I approach surgery. I am hoping to be sleeved late July/Early August!! I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you and I am excited for all that have been sleeved and/or will be sleeved.. God bless and Good luck to us all!

      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.
