@cut.the.vs My consultation is on the 30th as well. Maybe we will have our surgeries around the same time!

Hello all, I’m a newbie too. My seminar was on 1/27 and my first consult was on 1/31/23. Maybe we will get the surgery around the same time? How was your appointment?

@nettyd My consultation went well. He went over my health history. I currently have hypertension and taking 2 meds for it. So I have to see a cardiologist next month. I have to do an at home sleep study as well. I have to take a class called baratric beginnings on March 20th. We also discussed my goals and realistic expectations with vsg. He answered every last one of my questions, comments, and concerns. How did it go for U?

@cut.the.vs My appointment went well. They went over everything with me and suggested the sleeve for me. I have to do one visit a month for four months with the dietitian. They said if I miss any appointments then everything starts all over. I have my Psych evaluation next month, I already have my gallbladder removed which they said is good. I don’t have to do a sleep study as of right now since I don’t have sleep apnea, they said they may make me do that but as of right now I don’t. They also advised me I will 30 days prior to my surgery and 30 days after I will need to stop my oral contraceptive due to blood clot risk or I could switch to the IUD which is what I’m going to do. I had my appointment for that today and should get that inserted in about two to three weeks. My dietitian also wants me to read a book called Intuitive Eating which I have started and it’s very interesting. I suggest reading that.

      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.
