I also went to YouTube and typed in VSG which is the abbreviation for Vertical Sleeve Gastronomy or what is commonly called getting the "Sleeve".

Try searching WLS or the name of the surgery you are getting in the search bar. You can also type a Youtuber's name in the search as well. I currently follow: VSGprettysleeved, SJs Journey, Drea VSG, and faithkp; to name a few.

I just started my video blog channel today on Youtube. You can view my first video here if you are interested! Good luck on your journey! I am in the middle of creating a new video that is going to be called VSG 101 The History & Evolution and more. I have been compiling some good info and hope to have it ready later this week! You can click MICKEL VSG to go to my channel and see my video.

      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.
