Vsg Surgery in a couple of Hrs.



Recommended Posts

I don't if it's just me or anyone else had the same situation that I'm going through right now.

I'm driving to the hospital my Surgery is at 7am and I have weird thought about it...

I've been in my liquid diet for 2 weeks, and I haven't eat anything since 12am.

But, Right now I'm like not hungry but I'm the only thinking about is just food!! =(

Like just plain Food!!! I guess I do I am addicted....

Like driving in the Highway just thinking all the good food that I'm not going to be eating,... and like knowing that It's just a mental thing. I'm trying to keep my mind busy with other things.

I even made a love letter for myself to read it for support and to remember why I'm doing this.

Idk, there are just very weird thoughts.

I'm going crazy for food !!! :'(

Thanks, actually I ended up not having the VSG done.

My doctor Dr. Clayton Frenzel decided to stop the process because my liver still needs to shrink a little bit more. I started at 394 and yesterday I was 172 so, Ive lost 21 pounds but it seems isn't enough.

So, I got the cuts on my stomach but no VSG :(

Ive to continue with my two weeks liquids diet ... loose more weight Dr said At least 20 more pounds,...

To be continue,..

Thats no good Sergio as I was hoping to read about your journey as I'm booked in for December for my VSG in Australia.

Keep going on the pre-op diet and I wish you all the luck in the world, perhaps you may be sleeved in December so I'll keep an eye out for your posts

You want to start your new sleeved life with the highest chance of success right?

I'm sure that you are disappointed but surgery is still going to happen, just delayed a little. Better to have the delay and a healthy outcome!

Thinking of 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.
