I have my final nutrition class and clearance appointments early January so it's looking like my VSG will be in February. Would love to connect with those going through this at the same time I am. It's been a long way since my first surgical appt in July. I learned a lot, like I have a hiatal hernia, but thankfully I don't have sleep apnea. I felt like I spent the month of November at doctors but thinks are finally winding down.

Hope everyone is as exciting as I am!

Probably February for me too. I go in for my EKG, stress test, pulmonary function test and my final nutrition class on Monday and Tuesday I do the gastric scope.

I have a required 3 months of diet monitoring to complete and the my 2nd consult with the surgeon is January 22nd. My psychological is Monday. I would also like to connect with others.

I'm in Delaware right outside of Philadelphia. I've checked off everything except my Dec nutrition class and then my Jan nutrition class and my clearance appt. has anyone started trying any Protein Shakes? I just picked up a couple today to start trying to see what I'll like but if anyone has suggestions please share.

      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.
