12/18 - Officially transitioned from Pre to Post!!!



Recommended Posts

Howdy all - Excited to have now crossed over to post-op. Had VGS 18DEC with the incredible Dr. Joseph Greene, Maryland Bariatrics. You can read and read and read, but still not know what to expect. I have to say, 2 days post and I am getting along better than anticipated. A bit achey but will prepared. Excited about the next leg of my journey. Glad to have a home to share, learn, support and get supported!

Only drawback... couldn't go see SWIX on opening day [emoji19]

I was achey afterwards as well. Had VSG on 12/16. I'm truly happy I found this site because there is so much info available pre and post op.

      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.
