@@losing100# absolutely! A little about me - I'm a 27 year old teacher from NH. 5'3" HW 244, CW 226. I am having a VSG on the recommendation of my foot and ankle specialist. I have had 5 ankle surgeries that have readily increased in complexity and resulted in chronic pain and instability. In the hopes of saving my one remaining peroneal tendon on the right side/prolonging the need for additional orthopedic surgeries, I have successfully gone through this process and am ready for the life changes ahead!

@@edodd Yay! Here is a little about me. I am 35 and 5'8, I am a mother of two toddlers and two teenage step kids. I have had back surgery and the added weight is making my back worse. I really don't want to have to go through back surgery again. My doctor thinks this will help with my back and my plantar fasciitis in my feet. I just want to be a healthy weight and be able to run with my kids!

      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.
