I don’t know about you, but I almost feel like I have VSG fatigue. By that, I mean I think I’ve looked at every video on YouTube dealing with guys going thru this as well as read this site for the past 12 months. It almost feels anticlimactic getting to the end of my pre-op journey and starting my post-op. (Funny side note, my auto correct changed “pre-op” to “Oreo”...oh the irony).

I’m not complaining, just pontificating on a Saturday night.

No I feel the same way man. I actually waited longer than a year to get the surgery. I was trying to go through the Va and it’s like they didn’t want me to have the surgery but they rather me take blood pressure pills, continue failed weight loss programs, sleep apnea and etc. it’s been a real trial for me and I’m just thankful there is light at the end of this short tunnel now, but this process had me really upset with the VA man. I’m going to use this tool to get back to myself. When I retired in 2012 the weight just pile on and now I can finally start to get back on track

      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.
