Im doing a preop diet also. Im on day 10 of the diet, and have lost 11 lbs. I bet you can do it too. I personally think that two weeks is too long, let alone 16 days. Best wishes!

Maybe try some mild arm exercise with hand weights- start with just 2-5lbs. Thas what I did after a total knee replacement. Good luck!

I'm on the 26th also!! The diet is getting easier now. Im also due for surgery at 0730. Wishing everybody all the best!

OMG, you look FANTASTIC!! What an inspiration you are. Thanks for sharing

You'lll do fine. Just give honest answers. I believe that psych workers have magical powers and can tell when we are lying to them. lol

Im scared that my alarm clock wont go off in time for surgery, lol!! My surgery is on 12/26 also! Good luck!

I'd say you really need to push the fluids. Maybe even go in to an urgent care and get some IV hydration. You'll feel much better! Good luck!

Gargle with warm salt water and pray you ass off! My surgery is also on 12/26. Good luck!

My surgery date is 12/26. 5 days away. Im on day 9 of a 2 week diet. Im allowed 2 shakes and 1 serving of soup every day. So here I am, asking for cheers of encouragement. Click on "like" to give me a boost and a cheer!!

I have medicare and they wont cover it. im self pay and will have surgery on 12/26 My hospital told me that medicare WILL pay if you go to a Center of Excellence. Try to find one of those. Hope this helps.

I will be agreeing in prayer that Gods will be done in your marriage. btw- please eat and take your vitamins and supplements!

I also drink the ready-to-drink premier shakes from Costco. the only kind i like unless i add peanut butter or fruit to a blended shake. Good luck!

Some people on this site have been on blood thinners in the hospital, so i asked about that. Good luck with your appointment!

Congrats to you. And a merry, merry Christmas!!

I got the chewable solutron vitamins from GNC as well as calcium chews and biotin. The B-12 i got from my docs office. Best wishes!

My doc also said a month

I have 2 suggestions. My nut had me take up a couple of new hobbies to keep the munchies at bay. Ive been practicing playing the guitar and knitting. This helps alot. I also see a therapist that specializes in eating disorders and food issues. This has been a huge blessing. Best wishes to you!

All i want for christmas is... 1. sex under the Christmas tree 2. stockings that fit and dont roll down. 3. calf-high boots 4. Christmas sweaters that dont make me look fat. 5..my VSG on December 26th !! What are you wishing for?

I met a gal who will miss her coffee with cream in it. what can she do? thanks!

Try this, it is a great resource: http://www.ochsner.org/content/misc_files/BARIATRICNUTRITIONBIBLE-2012.pdf

You're right. To each is own.

I agree 'the truth shall set you free.' I myself am a terrible liar, so its just easier to be open about it. Be strong!

When I am feeling uneasy about the surgery, I come to this website. I read and respond to posts and that helps. What helps me the most is to stop by the chat room. Sometimes I get the support i need. Other times I get to support other and that helps the most. Good luck!!

Is it true that we should drink protein shakes within 20 minutes of mixing them. Has anyone else heard this?
