Why fool around and take a chance on damaging your sleeve? It was strongly impressed on me to not take chances. Give my stomach plenty of time to heal. This takes weeks not days. Just because you don't feel much pain does not mean you can't damage your sleeve.

:rolleyes:

Your stomach is as delicate as a baby's right now. That's why they want you to do the liquid diet. It needs to heal. You are running the risk of developing a leak and putting yourself in the hospital again. Please just be good to yourself and follow the plan. Take a walk if you're bored. Remember WHY you had the surgery to begin with? To be healthier!

Hi, I had my VSG on September 18th also. I would NEVER eat things the Dr. says not to eat, because at this point we are in danger of rupturing our staples. There has not been time to heal our stomachs.

Please follow the Dr.'s instructions. If you are bored, you need to get up and walk, read up on how to change your lifestyle after VSG, etc. (there are lots of great books on Amazon, etc.) Also there is a GREAT BLOG on this site written by "Queen of Crop"

I'm a little worried about your lack of compliance. (I say this with sincere concern) This is such a HUGE investment in improving our lives, that we need to see it as a "second chance" and take COMPLETE advantage of it. Please read all you can about improving your life and health. The best of luck to you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
