Recommended Posts

Hello out there. I am finally scheduled for my VSG, on August 10th. I am feeling a range of emotions from excitement to apprehension to fear. I cannot wait to start my new healthy life! I have no co-morbidities, I am just extremely overweight and want to around for my children for a very long time. My pre-op diet starts on the 27th of July. How are the rest of you feeling?????

I had my surgery on 8/10 and that whole week leading up to the surgery I went through every emotion you can think of. Sadness, anxiety, fear, anger. I'm glad it's over and that I did but I know it's going to be a long hard road ahead. I just hope I can stay on course and not fail like a few people I know that had the surgery did. They acted like nothing was different and went back to their old habits and gained back the weight they lost and in one case more than what they lost.

I'm beginning to feel better, I can finally sleep on my side again???? I'm so over the full liquid stage though, nothing tastes good and artificial sweeteners are giving me headaches. How are you doing?

I've had all those feelings too. Today I had a breakdown. My husband bought pizza for him and the kids tonight and that's one of the things I've been craving the most.

      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.
