VSG Surgery 4/14!! Twins?



Recommended Posts

Hi there, Congrats on the very near surgery date. We have all been given different pre op diets. So its hard to comment on yours and be helpful. I have never seen the same one twice ! They are all a bit brutal to begin with and scary but we have done it just to get the surgery. About day 4 you get used to the regime and white knuckle it to the surgery day. Onwards and down wards

I start on Sunday :) My surgeon allows one meal a day of lean Protein and veggies during this phase (until two days before) and I am VERY THANKFUL for this. Best of luck! Youve got this!

How’s everyone doing? I’m doing better than expected, but the food aversions are coming in full force! I can’t even LOOK at pudding without wanting to gag.

      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.
