Tomorrow October 9th!! So nervous !!

Me too! I can't believe the 9th is tomorrow. I am all packed, and childcare plans have been made, medication is all picked up for afterwards as well as the foods and drinks I'll need. House is all cleaned. I'm on Clear Liquids today and had to drink milk of magnesia. My goodness it was disgusting. I think I've VSG nested as much as I can! Now it's just time to get it done!

4 days post surgery and no regrets! It is kind of hard for me to get all my liquids in. I feel great- just still really sore.


Thursday was your surgery ? Me also. I can't believe how good I feel since its only been 4 days. The strictly liquid and Protein Shakes haven't given me any negative issues yet. How are you doing with your intake ?

I am really having to work at it to get my liquid and Proteins in. I don't think I am quite making it but close.

I am feeling better everyday. I think having the hernia repair and gallbladder removal made my pain little worse, but again if I had to do it again I would!!

Encouraging words for me for tomorrow... couldn’t sleep well this past week, up at all hours of the night, then crash come 7 pm the following evening and the cycle continues.
I’m just hoping it’s my bodys way of prepping for tomorrow and that once back home (I’m outpatient) I’ll crash and actually sleep through the night!!

      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.
