@sentaric I was responding to Lisarocks 😁 I had my vsg surgery on June 4th. I go for my two week post op check tomorrow morning! And absolutely reading all the posts here kept me sane during my 2 week pre op liquid hell diet And certainly afterwords when I was 48 hours out of surgery and sure that I had made a mistake. This forum has been super helpful! 👌🏻🙏🏻😍

Thanks so much. Just finished first of seven liquid days. I am eager to get healthy and feel good again. What is the “binder” someone mentioned? Haven’t heard anything about that. A little concerned about possible complications, and knowing what to do after. Happy I found this site. Thanks for the warm welcome

The binder is like a wrap some surgeons wrap you in right after surgery. It helps with the incisions and gravitational pull on your stomach. It just wraps around your stomach. I love mine.

@Lisarocks my pain meds weren’t working properly and once that was fixed everything was peachy! The drive home was hard, definitely bring a pillow to hold against your tummy, it helps. The first few days I could barely get my Water in and I was scared because I was hardly getting any Protein, but after reading comments here and people telling me to just get my Fluid in and the protein would come secondary it eased my mind a lot. Now I can get my protein in like a champ and it’s not a big deal

      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.
