I'm a regular lurker on this site & I want to thank you all for helping me to get this far.

Now I have an confirmed VSG surgery date - November 2nd - I feel official enough to do my first post.

This date took a long time to come. I worked locally with a bariatric center that didn't pan out but I'm pleased that I have found my current bariatric team.

All that's left is a meeting with the anesthesia team. When I heard my date, I was thinking, "Holy shit!"

I'm quite glad that it's happening for real this time.????

Surgery went well. I'm now on pureed foods. No nausea problems so far. I enjoyed refried Beans with cheese for dinner tonight. It's just hard getting in all the liquids now that I'm eating too, but I'm plugging along.

      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.
