I'm new, too!

2 classes out of the required 10 down, and meeting with the surgeon in October. I'm so certain this is what I want to do, but I'm afraid something will pop up to derail my plans. I'm thankful to have found this community that I can learn and gain support from.

There's only so much the classes can prepare me for.

Welcome Newbies!😁

I just had my VSG surgery July 26th. So far, I am very pleased with my surgery. I believe it was the right decision for me.

This community is a wonderful resource, & is filled with many caring & supportive individuals. There are knowledgeable veterans that give informative & truthful advice, information, & tips.

Before my surgery, I also looked at YouTube videos of people that experienced WLS. There are many of them, and some from doctors, too.

Good luck to you all on your path to a healthier you! We look forward to hearing more about your experience!

      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.
