Yes I am...well, West Mifflin actually. I had my VSG surgery in July 2013 at Magee in Oakland. Glad to see another Yinzer (lol) around here.

Philly here. Was sleeved on 11/12/13 by Dr Ramachandra at Mercy Fitzgerald. Down 30 lbs so far and starting to feel like myself again.

I was also sleeved on 11/12/13 and am down 25 pounds. My weight loss has kind of stalled right now and I am a little frustrated. I feel like I am not doing something right. I also get very hungry
I was sleeved in April 13 & I feel the same way! I fell on ice and broke my back, and since I've been stuck home I find myself grazing. And I'm not cleared for exercise yet! Aaaaargh!

      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.
