He guys for those of you who have had the sleeve what Multivitamin are you taking? Thanks surgery is July 13 I start my high Protein low carb diet on Sun :D

Hey Kiki 52 ! I'll be arriving at LTVSG on the 14th. We may run into one another. This is all so weird and exciting.

 

As far as Vitamins are concerned I'm pre op but I watch a lot of vids heck all the vids from Dr Mark Wiener or Weiner (sp?) on YT he is a baratric surgeon and he has loads of info on his channel. He suggested a bariatric vit at least for the first few months and after that I think I'm going to try liquid vitamins or prenatals (which I have taken many times preggers or not which I'm not of course lol) I'm about to try to order some of the bariatric vits and I pray they aren't too expensive:( lol

 

Are you excited for your date?

Had my surgery July 2nd with Long Term VSG. Dr Maytorrena was awesome. Just returned home today and all I can say is I feel great. Anyone who uses this team of specialists will be in awesome hands.

That's great to hear especially after the controversy about the other surgeon I almost picked.

That's a great question my husband is going with me and that's where he is going to stay the first night.

City Express is pretty good. It is near the border... the hotel is relatively new, bed is comfortable, service is way over acceptable... the only complain I've heard from friends who stayed there is that WiFi was a bit unstable, at least from the rooms. But CE is a fine hotel. ;)

@@César Faz, thanks so much for the quick reply. Unstable wifi isn't a big deal when my husband will really only be there to sleep at night. Very good to know. Thank you ^_^

      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.
