That’s awesome, how are you handling the pre op stuff?



Today has been tough.. I’m on day 3 of 10 and I’m kind of hungry. I can’t have anything but liquids and popsicles. But I keep on focusing on the bigger picture. 8 more days til surgery!! How has it been treating you?

Y’all are going to do GREAT!! The anticipation is MUCH worse than the actual surgery!!! Let me put it in perspective: I’m a 41 year old high school teacher...BMI of about 33 (I had it done in Mexico)...I had surgery on a Friday evening and was back at work and totally fine on Tuesday!! Y’all are going to do great!! Be excited!!!!!!!!!!

You can do 8 days! I'm sorry you are only doing liquids, but I bet you will have an easier time post op when you MUST be on liquids only. Once I'm on liquids only, I'm sure I will struggle. I am allowed one lean meat meal a day, and I really look forward to it. I'm sure you can do these last few days!

I've started a secret May Facebook group if anyone is interested? In order to be secret I have to add "friends" or I can use an email address. I just don't want to create a "closed" group because my VSG is not something I want public. So, if you want to be part of this then I need an email address to add.

Actually, I am wrong the group has to be "closed" first then changed to secret otherwise you have to be "friends" first to be added to the "secret" group. The thing is I don't want my VSG public

Maybe give it a different name like “nutrition tips” or something. Then ask a question to new members like what’s the password? And then put the password in this thread

Hopefully the week flies by! During working hours I’m good and don’t even think about food. 7 more days until surgery, I got this!

      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.
