tina5978 33 Posted August 9, 2013 I'm new to Vst in the beginning process ' date=' how long does it take after first evaluation? I know its different per insurance company, mines doesn't have a wait period though. Receiving some adverse reactions some people are thinking its the easy way out . Any advice?[/quote'] Stay away from negative critical folks during your journey! My surgeon required clearance from various specialist and every appt resulted in another appt. it took me 6 1/2 months, my insurance was the least of the problem, they approved my surgery instantly. Best of luck on your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MemphisChik 27 Posted August 9, 2013 I'm also the 20th having a rough time with the pre op diet Sorry to hear that! What are you struggling with? I am loving the Protein shakes in the morning. My favorite so far has been almond milk, 1 T. natural Peanut Butter, 1 T. sugar free instant choc pudding mix, and 3 stevia packets. Mixing it with crushed ice it ends up a smoothie. Oh, and a scoop of whey Protein (unflavored). Eating tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and Cavender's Greek seasoning as my "fruit" and a Protein Bar for lunch. Not thrilled with dinner this week. Had 1/2 a hamburger patty with squash Tues, and Wed. Last night had a few shrimp on a very bad salad from Panera bread. I have some sugar free popsicles to chomp on when I get the munchies in the evening. Can't believe it's Friday already, though. This week has flown by and I expect next week to fly as well. T-11 days Hang in there, Dee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desertgirl6801 63 Posted August 9, 2013 8/21 here! This pre op diet is kicking my butt. My friend/coworker said you're cranky today...here have this, and brings me the other half of her donut. I wanted to high five her in the face! It was a nice gesture tho, she loves donuts. If I can get through this, I can get through anything!

xaya 10 Posted August 10, 2013 I am getting sleeved on the 14th of August as well!! Very excited but super nervous about what to expect as far as pain goes. Hope it reasures you that I have no pain at all! Am at home and day 4 today. Did expect some as had extra things - huge hernia in tummy, many adhesions from 4 previous surgeries as well as sleeve. Doc must be amazing - feel better than after any of them. Just take what offered if you need it hon. 1 Ashleyp24 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xaya 10 Posted August 10, 2013 Was sleeved on 6th so day 4. Home and very comfortable with no pain but light headed and a bit shaky - probably from not eating? Just feel excited and saw scales already down 7kg. Seems fast and I guess it will go up and down a bit. Trying to keep moving, will walk fast, move arms around etc. Maybe swing some food cans ?? LOL They say weights are good. I just wish the smell of food or thought of it was not so very enticing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reni 9 Posted August 10, 2013 8/21 here! This pre op diet is kicking my butt. My friend/coworker said you're cranky today...here have this, and brings me the other half of her donut. I wanted to high five her in the face! It was a nice gesture tho, she loves donuts. If I can get through this, I can get through anything! I am Aug 21st too! I think I would want to smack her for bringing that donut by me. My husband said I was cranky yesterday. I am on my 3rd day pre-op diet. The first went ok, I was hungry throughout the day and went to bed hungry. Yesterday my stomach wasn't begging as much for some "regular" food and today was better than yesterday. I hope it continues to get better. You can get through this...a lot of people have gone before us and have been successful. 1 desertgirl6801 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
