Hi there. I went to the psychological testing and I came up as a binge eater. I was required to preop therapy for a total of 6months. They teach you how to divert To other than eating in nature. I had my surgery last Wednesday and I had had not desire to binge. As a matter of fact I am not hungry at all. What I need help with is slowing the eatting the process. Bad habit to eat fast. Now I use a baby spoon half full and put the spoon down between bites. Wishing u the best

They were able to crush any meds that were Less than the size of a dime.

Today is my big day of surgery at 10:15 am at Osu med ctr. Thank u for all your thoughts and prayers! I Am calmer than I thought I would be. Must be the power of prayer! Update later.

Prayers are coming your way! My surgery is Wednesday morning at 10:15. I'm having the sleeve through a laparoscope. I never heard of the sleeve through a endoscopy w/o any incision. Wow that should sounds great. Wish u the best and may God bless you!

How r u doing on the preop diet. I've lost 13.5 lbs so far. How about u. It has been slow. Thought it would come off faster! I'm getting nervous r u? Wishing u the best!

The scripture says that jesus is the bread of life. I have found that reading and studying the bible feeds my soul more and more. I am finding that reaching for the bread of life is more satisfying than reaching for natural food!

Hi rovobay we have the same surgery date. I'm also on the 3 week liver shrink diet. It is basically 4 Protein shakes, 1 fruit, salad and 300 calorie dinner. Maybe we can follow each other. Wishing u the very best!

Hi all, my husband was apprehensive about me having the surgery initially due to me having a history of having 2 bleeding strokes. However once he received more information on how much the surgery will improve my health he has been nothing short of complete support. I have been on the preop diet and he has follow it too. He even scheduled a weeks vacation after the surgery to help me out! We are doing this together including going to water aerobics three times a week. I'm blessed to have such a supportive husband!

Good luck! My surgery date is Sept 10th for the sleeve. I started the 3 week preop diet last Wed. I'm still am nervous and excited!

Hi bethie good luck! My surgery is Sept 10 and I started the preop diet August 20. My surgeon wants me on it for 3 weeks! Which surgery are you having?

Hi there today I got a call from the surgeon's office with the date of sleeve surgery. September 9th is the big day! I started this process in Nov 13. A lot of time in Dr approvals. I am 57 years old, weigh 264 and 5' 4" tall. The insurance approval only took 1 week. I start the preop diet in one week. I have to be on Protein shakes and one lean cuisine dinner per day for three weeks. I have to go to prep testing on 8/20 and see my surgeon on 8/28. Then off to surgery 9/9! I'm scared but excited too. Trying to trust God!

My insurance company approved my sleeve surgery yesterday. I'm waiting for the surgeon's office to call me with date of visit with surgeon and visit with the nutritionalist. I was told it would be 1 to 10 days. Things are getting scary. But I'm excited too. I started this process in Nov 2013.

My preoperative diet will be 3 to 4 weeks of 4-5 protein shakes, one lean cuisine dinner, salad and a piece of fruit daily.

Can you get dumping with a VSG. What causes it?

Thanks for the recipes..

Can anyone recommend protein shakes I should buy?
