I'm so excited! My surgery date is 6/18 for VSG.

I'm scheduled for 6/17 and I see by your profile you're also in MA! Are you having it in Boston?

I have been scheduled for June 17 and insurance approval has been sent off. Here is to hoping they approve (I don't know why they wouldn't), and then surgery date will be set in stone!

Have you guys bought anything for post surgery? I have no idea what to stock up on! I wish someone made a list lol

I got my Vitamins and supplements, Gatorade zero, Protein Drinks, sugar free popsicles, and sugar free jello/pudding. Anybody else want to add to the list?

I need to get Jello yet, but I'd add beef and chicken broth. I bought Decaf coffee, herbal tea and crystal light. I also picked up some small containers, a new lunchbox for going back to work, and several shot-glass sized measuring cups.

I'm having mine on June 5th. I got insurance approval back in March, but I had a bunch of things coming up that would have gotten in the way. So, I'm sitting here, anxious as can be. All the insurance hoops you have to jump through are annoying. If I hadn't had to do that, I would have had it last year when I was just under my out of pocket max. It would have cost me 300 bucks total. Oh well, moving forward, just a few more weeks. Good luck everyone.
Mine is two days after. Congratulations!

I'm from the south so I'm making Decaf ice tea. I could drink that all day and usually do. I have taste tested the recommended Protein Drinks. I bought one that said cafe mocha, wow it had caffeine, lots. I can't take sugar substitutes so they said drink low sugar Protein drinks. There are several really good ones with 30 g of protein each. I was going to order some clear protein drinks. I remember when I had the band, I don't think I touched chicRemembken broth for years after that. Remember liquids in, liquids out so don't move slow.

      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.
