Hi,

Im new here but have been researching alot about the VSG for a few mths. This forum has really helped me alot in making my decision. I've read the good, the bad, the ugly, but most importantly i've read the stories of success, inspiration, and overjoyment in your NEW selves :) My first appt with the Surgeon is Aug 15th. I know i know...Im the very beginning of my journey but im excited and glad to have found all of you!!

Thank you all for the warm welcomes! I definetly plan to keep my journey posted. Although my first appt isnt until Aug 15th...I did start my medically supervised weight loss in march with my PCP. (like I said ive been researching alot, lol) hopefully that will speed things up for me once I see the surgeon.

      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.
