Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I am having VSG in TJ on Sept 2nd. I know there were some responses but I just can't seem to find it where there were some of you going to Mexico for surgery on 9/2. I would love to put a group of friends together in my email so we can chit chat and help each other on our journey. I know there is a Facebook page out there' date=' however I am really computer challenged. I would love to get that link to the facebook page again or reply to this and I will send you my email address. I think the more people I have around me the better I will be when I am having one of those days!

Thanks for all the help

I am having mine in TJ on September 2, too. I will be at the Marriott staying 1st-6th. I would certainly like to meet up and have a "buddy". Love to have someone to compare notes with as we go through this new life change.

I won't be there until the 18th. Would be great to know how you are doing. Hope you find a buddy. I figure when I get there, there will be others walking the halls to meet and then we will have buddies. Best of luck.

I am 7 days in to my pre op diet...atkins induction...I have 1 more week of this and then I go onto a two week 3 Protein Shake diet with a chicken and salad supper....it is super hard and I feel like poop some days, some days I am soooo hungry, and then others I am rocking it. You gotta pull up your big girl underpants and just do it! It's your life you are doing this for and you have to keep your eye on the prize and remember why you wanted to do this in the first place.

      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.
