I am scheduled for June 5th. I am nervous but excited. Kind of dreading the pre-op diet and post-op pain, but I know it will be worth it. I've let myself start making plans for what to take to the hospital, etc. Congratulations on getting one step closer to the new you! I wonder where we will be this time next year..Skinnier and healthier, I pray.

Hi I'm a new member. My surgery date is June 26th. I started cutting down on my sweet tea addiction as well as starting to curb my carb intake. I guess I feel like maybe it will help with the pre op diet if I get used to depriving myself...will see. :unsure: I've been watching tons of VSG You Tube videos. Anyone planning to document their journey that way?

I started a page because I thought it would be neat to look back on my progress. I feel silly making them but I'm sure I will get more comfortable with time :) I'm busterdoodoo there as well. I am having surgery one day before you and am already getting nervous!!

I'll document somehow, unsure how to do You Tube, 'cause I am an "old f**t".

One thought though... You are NOT depriving yourself of carbs and sweet tea. You just found out that those two have been CHEATING on YOU for years. HOW DARE THEY, after all the love you have given them! You are gonna throw those evil two outa your life after what they've done. I mean, fool me onece, shame on you but fool me Twice, shame on me!!!

(and welcome)

      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.
