Hi!!!! I’m having mine on The 28th. Tomorrow I start my pre-op diet

Hello all. Jumping into your August group with surgery scheduled 8-27. Very excited. I’m only on light diet Clear Liquids two days before but am starting with Protein Shakes etc. two weeks before to get a jump start. Not nervous, but very excited.

August 29th is my sleeve date. Kinda excited!

Hello all. Update...I had VSG yesterday. And yesterday was rough. I am still Npo , nothing by mouth, so hoping to get some ice chips later today or evening. Nausea, heart burn has been the worse so far. I am still happy I did the surgery. I sleep, walk and gets meds. Good luck to everyone else. Falling a sleep writing this.

I’m on day 2 post op (sleeved 8/6) 1 & a half days in the hospital, I’m home now. Yesterday I could do everything for myself I even passed some gas ( gas pain is no joke). Today (8/8/18) I woke up on my own little pain and no assistance from anyone. I think it’s a mental thing. I also think it’s going to depend on how you’re feeling after surgery if you will need much help at home. The day of surgery I was soooooo weak but today I feel ready to walk some. A little gas pain and little stomach pain but other then that I’m doing fine for myself. Drinking is a bit of a challenge. Cold stuff worsens my gas pains hot stuff helps me pass gas. Overall, I feel great ! I will be back in no time. Now I’m just waiting to go #2.

I am scheduled for 8/29/18! Cant wait. This is my second surgery date so fingers crossed!!
Mine was 8/29/17. It really does go by fast. I lost 60lbs, enough to rid me of diabetes, high BP, gerd, gout and sleep apnea. Good luck to all on your August WLS

Heading to the hospital in about 10 minutes! So excited!

I have found that many doctors require many different things, though the 2 week pre-op liquid seems to be the most common.
I lost so much weight on my own during my six month pre-op diet program that my surgeon didn't require any pre-op liquid diet for me. He just required nothing after midnight the night before the surgery (which is standard for any surgery). He did require the 2 week pre-op liquid normally, but he said I was a special case.

Hey ! This is Tina from NH. I have a surgery date of August 13th!! When is yours. Starting to get very nervous. This preop diet is awful. I am so sick of lettuce and meat.

Hi everyone! This is my first post on this forum. I'm scheduled for a sleeve on August 16. My doctor doesn't require a specific pre-op diet, they just recommended losing some weight (and not gaining over starting weight) over the course of the 6-month doctor-supervised diet plan. I'm happy to be here, and finally taking my health seriously

I'm August 9th. Getting nervous, but mostly for the actual procedure because I've never had surgery or stayed in the hospital before

Day two of this liquid diet. Not feeling hungry, Water keeping me full. Boy boy do I have a headache though. Wondering if the headache is my bodies way of telling me it’s hungry 😑. Hope this goes away soon.

Just a little before me. so we will March to the finish line together. It's,going,to be a wild journey , but it will make so much,better,for both of us.

Hello all👋🏽 I’m here to make new friends that will go through this journey with me I’m a little nervous but it’s always good to have the support and other people who have the same experiences my surgery is on August 28

My vsg surgery is booked for 22 of August!!! I am counting down the days but this pre op diet is killing me! Feeling soo nausea

Hello I’m joining your ranks. Vsg scheduled for August 27th. I was on this board under a different user name 8 or 9 years ago when I got banded. It slipped in 2014 and I had it removed then. I’m very nervous but also motivated. No liquid pre op diet from my surgeon but he wants me to do a low carb low fat high Protein diet in the 2 weeks leading up to surgery.

FINALLY got my surgery date of 8/28 long time coming! So happy to finally be able to post here! Not required to do any liquid diet but have been replacing 2 meals now going to all liquid.< /p>

I’m from New Orleans but i live in Denver now

I was sleeved 6/6/18 so this is my 6 week progress pic 🤗 excuse how blah I look lol

I’m 31 lbs down total!! 
HW: 199 & CW: 168!!!!
23 lbs away from my goal of 145 lbs. Who knows I may shoot for 130 🤞🏾😍

Everyone looks amazing! You should all be so proud of yourselves. Here is my before and after! It sounds shallow but I love looking at myself and seeing where I came from 10 months ago and where I am now- 128 lbs less!!

Hey you’ve got two ppl with you that day me and Chris my preop diet is basically just low carb and the last two days is Clear Liquids which will suck royally but meh I’m tough

I’m prepped and ready to go but doctor is still on his 1st case and I’m #4.
