Mind me , but I need to vent. I'm young, part of VSG in your 20s; I took my final exams on this damn Clear liquids diet, took them all earlier than my classmates, so I had less time to study so I can come home early and have my surgery. It took a lot of mental preparation, and I was so excited as I walked in the hospital doors this morning...as I hand in my papers sitting in the surgery office...my doctor calls and reschedules my surgery...to the 20th. Merry Xmas to me DISCLAIMER I know its only 5 more days, and I'm still excited, and I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, so I'm taking advantage of this time to truly prepare for the surgery mentally and emotionally...but I just needed to vent Ahem, Thanks for reading

Thank you all for the quick responses! I'm checking out GNC tomorrow to see if theres something that tickles my fancy. Also I am calling my doctors office first thing in the morning to see what he recommends I should be doing right now! xoxo

Hi Everyone, So I'm new to this but my surgery is soon (December 15th) and after reading some of these posts, I'm starting to freak out! From what I remember I was not given a diet to follow preceding the surgery, but it seems like everyone was given one..so now I'm worried, has anyone else worked with Dr. Teixeira in the city? Also, could anyone give me any shakes that I can find at a GNC that I could use to try out and see if i like? Excited to talk to you all
