Hi y'all!

I'm Rose I just got my vsg and duodenal switch on 12/5 so I'm at the beginning of this journey. I'm 21 and looking for friends in the dfw metroplex to go on this journey with. Or even if you're not in the DFW I travel a ton so we can be friends too. I have a support system here, but think it'll be better to have friends in the same boat as me. Tell me about yourselves (:

I'm in Denton! And that's great we should definitely get to know each other! The first month (two week liquid diet pre and post op) I hear is the hardest part I would've loved a friend along who had gone through it before.

Haha I totally understand! I went to my appointments open minded and actually not realizing how serious of a change this would be. Everyone get surgery done for different reasons. In my case I didn't have to do a liquid pre-op diet. The day before surgery I was eating pizza and wings like it was nothing! Now it's like crap.... I can't eat a damn thing so the transition is very hard. Sometimes I regret doing it, other times I'm very happy I did. I just want to stay healthy. It's deff something to look forward to but prepare yourself. I wish someone would've told me the first few weeks would be a little challenging

      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.
