I was sleeved on may 21. 275- first day of pre-op diet 265- day of surgery 256 - this morning Total lost since may 16 = 19lbs

I leave on the 20th, I am with Dr. Almanaz.

I would love to see the chart. Please email me at kcmabee@gmail.com

okay it appears I do have the counter. I haven't seen it work before

I seriously have to figure out how to do that counter thing at the bottom of your posts! I am May 21st! Sounds like everyone is as anxious as me

Fatgirlslim, my doctor is Alvarez .

Good luck all you may sleevers. I sadly have to wait until may 21st, but will be eagerly waiting for your post-op posts! I am sending healthy, healing vibes to all of you

Shortypants, why is my picture coming up when you post?

I am in Tijuana on may 21. Time is ticking!!!

I am going may 21st.

I am having mine in Tijuana on may 21. Haven't seen anyone with that date yet

I am having trouble joining. Hope this works! I am getting sleeved in may.

Hi. I hope this is how I join the group! I have my surgery on may 21st, so I hope to find people who are in the same boat

I have read many of your posts and quite honestly I am going crazy having to wait until my may 21 date (95 more sleeps!)...sounds like I am not alone. One thing I am really curious about is Pre-op diet. How is it possible that all of us who are getting VSG can have such a wide variety of Pre op diets. Some people have 30 days of liquid and/or really restricted diets. I only have liquid 72 hours prior to surgery. Have any of you asked your doctors why? How do those diet differences affect post op weight loss or pain/recovery time? kc

Oh that makes sense. Thank you holly!

Thank you

I haven't done a blog before, so this is my first attempt (I hope I am doing it right)... I have VSG surgery set for May 21 of this year and I have been reading anything I can possibly get my hands(eyes) on. I have seen ads for 'bariatric juice' and that sort of thing, but I am wondering if any of you use suppliments (there are some really good suppliments that I can get at a grocery store or health food store). Anyway, it seems really impoortant to get your protein (and vitamines) so I just wanted to get some information by asking the experts!

that's great! Thanks for your help (both of you). I seem to have figured out how to put the counter on my profile.

okay, so you didn't have the use the protein powder? What form did you get your vitamines in? I see sublingual Iron, but what about all the others?

Sorry, a bit of a side bar, but how do you put the 'ticker' on your profile?
