Recommended Posts

Hi Saygrace,

I'm 26 turning 27 at the time of my surgery which is booked for October this year. I'm getting my surgery done in Czech republic and privately however have given myself 6 months to do some counselling and see a dietician to prepare myself for the lifestyle changes. I am 210 pounds at the moment, have 90 pounds to lose. I want to end my vicious cycle of yo yo dieting and carrying around this extra weight. Just want to be healthy.

I’m hoping for an August or September surgery date I’ll be done with all of my preops in June and hopefully see the surgeon in July. I’m 27 and so ready to lose this weight. I don’t want to yoyo diet anymore. ‍♀️

Hi Jolexis,

I am also 27 and scheduled for VSG on September 5th! I agree about the yo yo dieting- I know it all too well. Have you been following a dietician prescribed diet? Mine began the end of February and has been a complete shock for me. Was wondering if you have experienced the same thing.

      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.
