One is 3 days before surgery attached with 2 months out, and one is Yesterday July 28th.... I just want to say to anyone thats in a stall... Just switch it up... You will not fail... Just do something different... If your running on a treadmill, start doing different kinds of exercises, change your diet completely.. If your eating chicken breast and salad and your in a stall... eat brocoli and fish... and drink a whole lot more water... Stalls come and trust me, stalls go.. I aint where i wanna be yet, and I was in a stall for 3 weeks without knowing it... but when i realized what was up.. I switched it up,.. and im back on the downward spiral... Good luck VSG family!

Salad....? Im one of the lucky ones who has found that I can eat anything i want... since about a month out.. NOT THAT I DO.. But i can... and Ive learned so much on this ride.. Its not about being hungry.... cause im hungry all the time... But i did this to be healthy and i wont let the hunger decide for me.. yeah, every once in a while i want a lil debbies snack cake or something.. but do i eat the whole thing, NO! can I YES... and SALAD! yes... No problems here... Your 2 weeks out! keep on trucking.. Youll be eating salad before you know it..

      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.
