Thank you ladies for sharing. My biggest fear with VSG was how bad skin would look after weight loss. In my 30s I had gone from 185 to 130 and hated my crêpey skin on belly (if I knew then what I know now)...fast forward to 50+ and my only thoughts are about fearing the kind of pain you have all been through. I have watched my share of YouTube vids on the belly surgeries and skin removal, pannus removals, scares the hell out of me. Not even sleeved yet, just waiting til psche evaluation on 10/28. Then I will probably have to wait til January because I am afraid if had before Thanksgiving/Xmas, work would be too much and recovery would be rough.

Hi!

Thanks for your response. My suggestion is to take it one step at a time. Wait to reach your goal weight before considering the pain of plastics. Trust me thinking so far ahead can be nerve racking. I'm sure everything will turn out fine for you. Good luck on your journey! :)

WOW!!! You are incredible!! Thanks for sharing, and yes I am taking it a day at a time. I have had a few hurdles, but still proceeding. I am hoping that January 9th or 10th will be the day. I always wonder how people decide to do a bypass as opposed to a sleeve. What made you decide on a bypass (if you don't mind)? I have decided on a sleeve. I had been up to 332 a few years back and got back down to 250 (currently at 270 working on getting back down a bit before surgery). I teeter totter on those 20 lbs.

      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.
