Haha. OMG I'm in the same boat. I'm looking for a solution but right now it's thanksgiving here and no store open and looks like I may be resorting to some exlax. I need some relief

I have 9 days til surgery. 8 days until we leave for Tijuana.

I started on Tuesday and have to go to the 21. Surgery on 22nd. I have two shakes a day and salad with protein for dinner. I'm on day 6 and lost 6lbs.

Ok a little off topic but I'm wondering if anyone has suffered from constipation with the pre op diet? If so, what did you find best to use? I apologize in advance if this is TMI.

Loved your story. I'm scheduled for October 22 and my straying weight was 237. I've lost 6lbs this week with pre op diet but I was so terrified of what I would like but it seems your before picture and the body shape I have right now are identical so I certainly hope I could look as good as you without more surgeries. I'm terrified of any surgical procedures but the sleeve is something I feel I really want and need.

Thanks everyone :-) yes, I am still pre op. My surgery is on the 22nd.

Ok so I have a friend who went an she showed me what she looks like now. I'm just wondering if anyone has any before and after photos without having any cosmetic surgeries? Is there anyone who didn't feel the need for skin removal or is that a must with VSG?

I am having now in Tijuana with Dr. Lopez. I would love to lose 100lbs but my goal right now is to lose 77 lbs

Awesome. Where are you having yours done? Good luck to you too :-)

Ok so I have a two week pre op diet. It says a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch then a salad with protein for dinner. My question is, is there anything I can have in between? The last three days are nothing but clear fluids. So am I able to have jello, broth, and juice now as well?

Mine is the 22

I'm bringing my mother but she is having it done the same day as well.

Awesome.

Sure. We just might I leave to come home on the 26. You said you might have surgery on the 25?? Are you uncertain?

Yes I will be at the Marriott. I am traveling from Alberta Canada. Where are you located?

All good points! Thanks. I will be sucking it up and following through as I know it will make it easier in the long run. Just wish I could go and get it done already lol.

I have surgery with dr lopez on October 22 and I went through ALighterMe and have been working with Janese. I have had tons of questions also and they are always very helpful I paid a deposit a few weeks ago and I am bring my final payment with me.

Well I'm allowed veggies and egg in my salad so I think it would be ok if I had an egg for a snack yes?

I am on protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and then a salad with protein for dinner. I'm sure it will get easier. They said if I do need more I can have a piece of fruit

How are people handling the pre op diet or how have you handled it? First few days are seeming to be rough. I'm feeling a little hungry I think. Not exactly sure if it's hunger or habit????

Thanks :-)

Awesome. I get in on the Monday as well :-)

Thanks for everyone's input. My goal would be to get back ASAP but I guess nobody ever really knows until after surgery right

Well I guess all I can do is see how in feeling but I'm hoping for the best!

Well my surgery is on the 22 and two nights in hospital and two nights in a hotel. Then two days at home and hoping to return to work. I'm gonna try my best as being home is not really an option for me as I'm a single mom
