@@wagers0990 - yay we're in the same boat!! the diet was tough at first, it seems to be getting better now. although I do get cravings for REAL food. i'm very excited and overly nervous lol. I am on day 7 of the liquid diet! where are you from??

@"shannonie1" wow exciting!! I'm having mine right here in nj, luckily my insurance covers the procedure so I don't have to worry about it. The 30th is going to be a busy day for you! I can't wait for our future selves!!

Hi Shannon! Yes! I've tried the unjury chicken protein powder, i usually try to have that for dinner because it is nice to stray away from the super sweet protein drinks. I'm very excited too but I can't help the nerves!! I'm happy to start this new chapter in my life- and absolutely no longer be the "fat kid"! I look forward to 6 months down the road from now where we will both be! Where are you from? I'm from New Jersey.

Hi monnie!! I am from New Jersey. I know that it'll all be worth it and I just have to hang in there. Almost one week in! I see my doctor on the 29th as well, for my final weigh in before the big day on the 30th! I am going to have to get used to cooking for myself. I love with my mom and she does the cooking right now, she is excellent at it but I'm not going to force my family to change their habits just because I'm choosing to change mine so that will be a tough one for me!

Hi all! I am new to this site and am having the VSG on July 30th (in 10 days!) .. I am currently on day 5 of my liquid Protein diet. my doctor wants me to have 5 shakes a day. in addition I can have sugar free Jell-O, sugar free popsicles, crystal light and other sugar free drinks. that's pretty much it, no food at all. the first couple of days were really tough but I got through them.. I seem to struggle the most with being around my family when they're snacking (chips, icecream, etc) and when they're cooking dinner, the smell really gets to me! I'm searching for a buddy that's in the same stage as me to talk to and see if we have any advice for each other. also, anyone that has already gone through this that has some helpful advice!! I wouldn't say i'm having doubts about surgery, i'm just SUPER nervous and very hungry lol. anyone who wants to reach out it would be greatly appreciated!! Jaimie

Hi!! I am on day FIVE of my 2 week liquid diet. I need some buddies to talk to and help me through it. i'm okay when i'm alone, but when my family is cooking (for example - last night they had shrimp linguini) and the smell was killing meeeee! I actually almost cried, how sad is that?! anyone else going through this too?

I am also scheduled for late July! July 30th, hopefully. I am also just getting all of my ducks in a row as far as the pre-op diet goes. I should be starting this Thursday! I'm pretty nervous but at the same time, excited and ready to start this new life! When does your pre-op diet start? Jaimie
