I wish I could offer you some first had advice/experience, but as a parent of a child with autism, I wanted to offer my support. In general my daughter does best when we focus on the things she can control. Trying to shift her mindset during times she's struggled to cope has helped her to be more successful. Try focusing on the "rules"of WLS and take it one step at a time. Do you have a therapist/counselor/psychologist that can help you incorporate these behaviors and assist in developing new coping skills? Wishing you all the best!

Thanks for the advice everyone, I appreciate your experience! I like the idea of taking a week off and plan on half days the second week. It seems like the protein intake is a crucial factor in the recovery process. What are/were your favorite clear liquid protein options?

I am targeting a VSG in mid February. I'm a remote employee and work mostly from home. Is it unreasonable to think I can get away with just taking a week off from work?
