this is a crappy situation and I'm sorry you're put in this position - it sucks.
I had weight loss surgery because I needed to get healthy and I didn't want to hate myself anymore. It really had nothing to do with anyone else or their opinion of me.
I wish I could tell you what I would do in your situation, but I can't. I would be devastated, angry and sad.
I wish you good things! Sending you hugs and encouragement.

started my 2 week liquid diet yesterday!vsg oct 6!!

Getting my VSG on 10/6!! I am from San Jose, CA, but I am also looking for buddies to keep in contact with as we go on this upcoming journey. So let's connect and start this thing with a bang!!!

I literally inhaled a 4 ounce portion in minutes. Feeling stuffed and happy!
OMG Beef Crumble with Tomato Gravy, Bariatric chewable meat Meal, 9 grams Protein per 4 ounce meal http://tinyurl.com/nmnwsce

Oct 6 for me too. I could start a group on Facebook if anyone is interested. Let me know.

October 6th for me!! I'm exactly 2 weeks away... I'm on day 2 of the pre op liquid diet and my mind is like what are you doing to me?!? Lol.. An array of emotions from nervous, scared, excited to second guessing myself.

@@robga999 There's a coffee alternative that I absolutely LOVE. it's called Teeccino. Check with your doctor for the ok and the website. It taste just like coffee and they have a variety of flavors, I believe it's made with nuts!

OMG im starvinggggg!today is day 6 for me and im on 4 Protein Shakes a day and 1 8oz glass of skim milk and 1 serving low carb plain yougart[yuk].what I have been doing is having 3 shakes and putting 1 scoop choc powder in yogart and it tastes like choc pudding and 1 scoop of pwder in skim milk.still trying to cut back on the coffee.its rough.

I need all the motivation I can get, I'm on a 10 day liquid diet and I'm starving
oatmeal, shakes, pudding, Soup, and a salad with very few veggies.
BIG BIG headaches and attitude, lol. Idk if my husband is going to be able to put up with me.

I an October 8th TOO!!!!!

thank you waitingtoexhale!im going to try it.i really am addicted to coffee.< /p>

day 4 on 14 day liquid diet.omg I cant stop the coffee!i already had 2 cups with fat free half n half.i need to stop the afternoon cup starting today.this rough because im doing good with Protein Shakes and plain yogurt but so hard to stop the coffee.i find myself dreaming of it!of course im thinking of food but its the coffee more.

I am starting week 2 of clear liquids sugar free. I think every morning " i can not do this" then at night i say " made it one more day" it is freakin tough and awful. Just get back on it and u will b fine

Just received the good news that I'm approved:) so happy and a little nervous. So my official date is October second:) 8 days and I will be on the losers bench.

I think its safe to say that none of us WANT to do liquids for two weeks before surgery and two weeks after. It's not about what we WANT at this point. It's doing what is required of us to have the best possible outcome. I can't even think about two weeks of liquids after surgery. I can only concentrate on the five days I have left BEFORE surgery. I have no idea how I'll feel about it after the surgery, so I'm not going to worry about it. However, I'm certain that I'll be able to handle it. I have a feeling that this part is going to be easy compared to the changes we're all going to have to make after surgery in order to be healthy and thin.
I have never spoken to anyone who's had the surgery that hasn't said this was the best thing they ever did. Time goes quickly and before you know it the liquids and pureed food, etc. will just be a memory. Just put on your big girl pants and do what your doctor requires. You'll be proud of yourself when it's all said and done.

October 6th here!!! Whoop Whoop!!! Super excited.... Good luck to all my fellow October Sleevers.
