Recommended Posts

Hey yal! I'm Sarah and after about a year of considerations, hoops, and hurdles...it's finally scheduled!! I'm having the VSG in San Antonio BAMC and I am so ready to change my life. I'm on the liqui diet and I'm not even hungry!! It's Mardi Gras here in LA and I haven't eaten a thing! That tells u how ready I am! Anyone else March 3rd or around or at BAMC!?

March 3rd....I'm on the prep liquid diet and don't find that to be as much of a challenge, but am more concerned with feeling loopy at work as I don't feel fuelled up enough and my brain is foggy:(. Anyone else feel this....

I don't feel exactly loopy but I'm having some serious brain fog I guess. I am SO hungry. I was super pumped about being ready and not hungry on the liquid diet. Everyone said "you're fine by day 4"...but Ever since I hit day 4 I actually feel like im starving, full of anxiety from hunger, and can't focus . My poor hubs is ready to sell me to the highest bidder. I've cried a million times. I'm a happy person but I've been such a witch. Anyone else feel a little down?

Hello All,

I had my surgery March 4 in NY and I am down 16lbs. I think this is great, not sure if it's typical, but I am thrilled. How is everyone else doing?

      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.
