Hi everyone, I am due for surgery in 2 1/2 weeks and was getting stuff ready and prepared here for when I get home. What are the best broths to have on hand for the clear Fluid stage? All I can think of is Campbells beef or chicken broth in the cardboard carton........there must be better than that?? Thanks

Thanks for your responses. I don't drink alcohol but I do or did eat many many sugary carbs.

Congratulations. I too want to be 60 and sexy! You are such an inspiration to me. Ruth

I was told to follow an Atkins type diet leading up to my pre-op diet to reduce the fatty liver. My question is......does fatty liver come from fat? or overconsumption of carbs and sugar?

It's so encouraging to know others have felt this same way..........I feel so much better now. Going in with my eyes open and and computer opened to this site. Thanks for the help.

I wear Asics because I tend to get plantar fasciitis and I find they have good arch support. Also the wide toe area works for me. They were recommended by a podiatrist.

Thanks to all of you for your comments......I certainly feel better about everything. I'm just going for it and doing the best I can do. I love this forum and have learned so much.........thanks for the support

Hi all, I am scheduled for VSG Jan 12, 2015. I have been doing a lot of thinking......not always a good thing. Anyway here's the issue..... I have a story much like many of you.......struggled with weight loss and gain for most of my adult life, have been on every diet and program known to man. I am successful for a few weeks then fall off gain all my weight back plus more. I realize that the sleeve is not magic. I know I will need to follow the program.......I have never been successful at following the program. What makes me think it will be different this time? Can't be the cost because I probably have spent twice that in diet and exercise programs. Please share your thoughts with me on this subject.....I am really scared that I will not be successful..

That's the word I was looking for.......lol thanks

It is an "electro cardio gram" to see the way your heart is functioning.
