Hi #mdlange,

I wish you all the best. So excited for you!!!!! I can't wait to hear your play-by-play on things. I'm a few weeks after you at Vida as well with Dr. Lopez. I'm like a kid on her way to the toy store ... just giddy!

I am having VSG done by Dr. Lopez this Wednesday morning. YIKES! I am going to the Vida hospital. I promise to give you a play by play as soon as I can type. These forums/friends have been a life saver for me and I am ready to be on the other side and help my fellow VSG'ers thru the process.

Hi Katyh2015,

So glad for you. The journey has begun. I'm sure it feels super good to see things moving in the direction you want. I'm scheduled on March 4th at Vida Hospital with Dr. Lopez. Let me know where you're staying as we might be in the same hotel around the same time.

@@katyh2015 My surgery is going to be in Tijuana, Mexico. It is going to cost $4400. I get one night in the hospital pre-op, two nights in the hospital and two additional nights in a hotel for recovery before I fly back to Texas. I have already sampled some Protein drinks... any help or personal suggestions are welcomed. Since we are on the subject, what kind of bullion/broth is everyone trying???

      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.
