@Newme17 really interested in this book! Will order it today! I was trying to move to a more plant based diet before surgery but then tossed the idea thinking it wasn't something that was going to work with vsg.

I had surgery on Tuesday too and I can't get all my fluids in either , occasionally when I take a drink I get this sharp pain and then I have to burp, is that common

My vsg is for Tuesday....so many feelings going through me right now! Good luck to everyone!

I'm so glad to hear you are doing good! I am getting sleeved on Wednesday so only a few days away! I'm more excited than nervous! [emoji847]

May 2! I have a 1 week low carb pre-op diet starting tomorrow After approval it just goes SO fast! Approval has been such a rollercoaster ride that I think I had almost come to terms with not having the surgery - so I'm a little nervous but also ready for the life change! I'm thinking I'll do liquid diet the last 3 days of the week just in prep for the surgery as well. Good luck everyone!

I'm scheduled for May 1. I saw a comment about starting a Facebook group - I'd love to join if that happens!

I am MAY 2nd as well....Today wasy first day of pre op diet...So far so good. Keeping busy helps.....I will update when the rest of the family begins to cook and I smell the solid food.....NOW THATS WHERE MY CONCERNS LAY!

I am May 2nd as well. Started pre opt diet Tuesday so rough, and not looking forward to the weekend. Goodluck

So today I saw my PCP and she gave me my clearance for my surgery. I also got my pre-op lab work done today. Tomorrow starts my 2 week pre-op diet of Optifast. I am so excited! Exactly 14 days till surgery! May 3rd can't come soon enough. Is anyone else early May and want to be buddies?

My surgery is May 2nd. My pre op liquid diet started 4 days ago. I'm so hungry! But I know its for the best. I have my pre surgery testing today.

So finally got my date and it is May 11th. Are there any other May sleevers out there who want to join me in this journey?
I also invite the veterans to join and guide us May sleevers through the process.
