Wow. You look great!!!! So motivating... Keep it up!!!

Yes! I'm going through dr eagons office too! I Heard they are pretty serious at weigh in time... But only stated that a 1400 cal diet is sufficient. How was it when you weighed in?

My surgery is January 13th!!!!!! I meet with nurse and anesthesiologist in 12 days. Very excited!!!!

Thank you guys. Im drinking GNC protein meal replacements now every day. I work nights so it's hard not to feel like I'm starving. Plus my eating times are crappy at work.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum!!! I have my VSG scheduled for January 13, 2014. However, the program I am in at BJH in St. Louis requires that you "weigh-in" prior to surgery - they want to make sure that you dont gain a substantial amount of weight pre-op (no more than an avg of 10 lbs). I weigh in on December 18, 2013 - 12 days from now. However, the only diet we are given to follow pre-operatively is a 1400 calorie diet. Does anyone have any advice on how to maintain or lose the weight? I lost a few pounds I think (although different scales vary). Should I start a clear liquid diet to be safe? Apparently they are allowed to postpone your surgery if you weigh more that you started with. I do 30 mins of cardio every day already. I just want to make sure I am not gaining any weight - I'd be ok if I totally weighed the same and have not gained. How'd did some of you lose the weight pre-op? Any comments at all would be appreciated. Thanks.
