Having surgery on Wednesday, you've given me so much hope for a excellent recovery...

Good luck to you, Mimi!

But more important than luck, please listen to and follow all the directions of your surgeon and surgery coordinator and you will be fine.

I wish I had my VSG surgery sooner, but fear and nervousness kept me from pursuing it.

I'm so happy you're going to be joining the journey with the rest of us! You're going to do FANTASTIC!

Keep us all updated on your progress, and just remember, we can all do this!

Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

It will be over before you know it. When I first awakened after surgery I was in a state of shock because I honestly thought the surgeon had somehow pulled out at the last minute and decided not to do the surgery procedure, because I wasn't feeling any kind of pain.

My surgeon actually walked over to me and confirmed that he did indeed do the surgery and everything went very well. I eventually felt a little soreness at the incision sites but that was very bearable.

Of course, I know people sometimes have complications, but what's a safer place to have a complication than an actual hospital.

I believe you're gonna totally ROCK this!:-)

Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

      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.
