My VSG is scheduled for 8/27/18. Feels so far away but too close as well as my tummy does flip-flops just thinking about it. I have to admit I’ve been indulging since I’ve jumped through all the hoops ( mid-June). Working on getting my focus and discipline back. Planning to break out paperwork and re-educate myself. Any other pre-surgery ‘guilty indulgers’ out there?

I go in for my surgeon appointment this Wednesday and they'll let me know my surgery date then - so excited! When I spoke to the woman today about my appointment on Wednesday she said they schedule based on any requirements my insurance may have, but since my insurance has no requirements if your BMI was over 50 when you first began, mine would pass me without any other requirements needed. Heres hoping for a not-so-distant surgery date!

Guys please someone remind me that a preop diet that lets you eat actual food is not I repeat is not a starvation diet I’m supposed to get 1500 calories a day and all the Protein and I have the options of things like protein ice cream and I can have a single actual piece of dark chocolate. I’m exactly 5 weeks from surgery and I’m so impatient and ready

Yes, I have been having weekend food funerals. Small coconut cream pie Sonic shake. Cheeseburger wrap from Beef o'Bradys (so good) Panera Bagels. Tomorrow is 2 week until surgery. I gave up coffee and my vices lol.

      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.
