    You should be able to have plain broth. Definitely keep in contact with your surgeon's office, because you don't want to have surgery if you are sick, or just getting over a depleting illness. In the meantime, in case it's just a short bug, just keep on drinking. Any calorie free beverage, unsweetened tea, herbal tea, fat free broths, etc.
    Hope you feel better soon!

    Hi everyone! My PCP suggested getting the VSG surgery this past Wednesday at my check up, so I'm waiting on my first appt in the mean time I've been doing a lot of research online about it and came across this forum, I'm so glad i did! The reasoning for the surgery is I have bad PCOS and highly insulin resistant, also have a heart condition i currently take two heart pills a day, pre diabetic, plus fibro. My family has a history heart disease, heart attacks, both my grandfathers passed away at young ages from heart attacks, my dad had one last year and so did my uncle. diabetes also run on both sides of my family and all the woman are over weight. I was always very tiny growing up, never had a weight issue until my late 20s when i started gaining for no reason and shortly found out i had PCOS, since then it's been a loosing battle. I'm 35, 5'3 and weigh 223lbs. I'm super nervous but excited. how long is the process from the time you're referred to surgery date generally? I was told i have to go to the first appt which is like a seminar where they show a video of the surgery and we discuss it, then i'll meet with a psychologist to make sure I'm mentally prepared, then a nutritionist. how long is the hospital stay? do they do it laparoscopically? for those of you that have had it done how was your recovery? i know every one has different time frames and experiences but I'm just curious. anyone else here have PCOS and has it helped? Thank you!

    One thing to remember we will all go thru different stages...so be u ...read listen and absorb...but do not expect to be like...Sally...Mary....or Sue...Good Luck..
