Hello all. just thought I'd introduce myself. I live in Caracas Venezuela, I spent the last 6 months doing resarch on the VSG and in August finally I decided to interview a few doctors. In a couple of weeks i saw 4 doctors, and finally chose one, one of the most reputable ones here in Venezuela. I had my surgery on Monday september 9th 2013 (3 Days ago as of right now.). Thankfully I havent had a single issue to complain about. Im following my prgogram to the letter, given that this is a lifestyle choice and recognized that a ot of changes needed to be made. To put it simply, this process is the most important in my life at the moment, nothing can intervene, work, hobbys, etc.

Well, in any case I though I'd shoot a line to all of you. I guess I'll spend the next few hours browsing the forums for a ton of good info that I know is in here.

Take care,

Dario

Caracas Venezuela

      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.
