One more thing, we made the decision to improve our lives thru VSG. Our spouses did not make this commitment. They love us but we've got to love ourselves enough to be true to ourselves and have the courage of our convictions. Simply put this is our fight! They will cheer us on from time to time. We will pause and appreciate it but that is not our motivation. A healthy life is our motivation. ( preaching to myself here )

I'm 5 days post Op' date=' I can barely get anything down, I have all these premier Protein drinks I cant drink, I have gas pain and can't fart and My husband keeps eating the things I like In front of me.

I just want a small bowl of Lucky Charms mannnnnn. This is Hell, it's a absolutely terrible experience and I wish I never got this stupid sleeve.[/quote']

I'm only 4days post-op...comparing what I've been through the pre-op. Post is alot better. Let me give you an overview: 1)my 14 day liquid fast was extended to 17 b/c i was still waiting on insurance approval. 2)My family decides going to the state fair my husband ate a pork chop sandwich, my son a mega corndog. As for me...one pickle. 3) The next day was at a parade and homecoming football game... i had to be careful with the diet shakes...the next bathroom was 3 blocks away

I'm still blessed and wasn't draw to temptation. Please hang in there we will be happy in long run.

I sometimes look at the number of pills my husband comsume compared to me and Vitamins ....i love what I'm doing....take care..

      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.
