Did you get in for February?

I'm scheduled for VSG for 2/13. I'm looking forward to it. Fortunately, I have a very busy schedule for the next six weeks so I'm expecting the time to just fly by.

Are you still set for February 13th? I'm on my liquid diet. What about you?

Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Very likely...seeing surgeon Jan 6 to discuss.

Not that I want the holidays to fly by...but I want this ball rolling.

Did you ever schedule your surgery?

Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Yes, Feb 7...but I had to switch from a local surgeon to MX after the costs started to add up. I know I'll be in excellent hands with Dr. Illan. I've had 3 co-workers go with him and rave.

Happy birthday! So far the diet hasn't been bad. I had a mild headache days 2 and 3. I am not sure I am doing it correctly. I am allowed pureed Soups on mine, so I have a shake in the AM and then pureed broth based Soup for lunch and dinner. Snacks are sugar free Jello. My calories are about 500/day and I've lost 16lbs in 10 days, but I got the ketosis straps and I'm not really in ketosis.

First of all, congrats to all of you that are getting sleeved soon! My surgery date is February 14... I'm so nervous and anxious... my liquid diet started last Tuesday, 5 Protein Shakes, 64 oz [emoji97], and crystal light... I feel nauseated, but very positive because for once I see my life having a future and not hiding from everyone that haven't seen me in a while and realized that I have gained all this weight.

No. Alas, my PCP's documentation wasn't consistent and so I'm starting over. I'm more likely going to be in April/May. But it'll be here before I know it. :)

This diet is so hard. I know I'm almost there, but staying around so many people eating at all times it's torture. My surgery is next Tuesday, I'm almost there, but I'm also so stressed out... sorry needed to vent

      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.
