The water struggle is REAL! My trick is incorporating it as a habit when I do anything. Get up from my desk? Sip water. Sit down to my desk? Sip water. Go to the bathroom? Sip water.

It becomes habitual enough that you can usually get enough in. Also, trying to get about 75% of your water before midday is a tip I've heard others share.

So bummed today. Yesterday my doc and anesthesiologist called me in to say we needed to move the surgery because of hormone issues I'm having. I've gotten the whole apartment prepped and bought my liquids, and now I don't know how long until I'll be cleared for surgery. I'm glad they are being safe, but now I don't know what to do. I'm self-pay and if they have to postpone for a long time, maybe I should just go through with the insurance hoops? Does anyone have any history with this?

I have my surgery on 11/19 with Dr. Misra in Beverly Hills, CA. I’m 33, 6’2” and a touch over 400lbs. I’m totally stoked to have my surgery and am getting all set up to have a boring thanksgiving alone!

My doctor requested I get a sleep study and endoscopy before surgery so I’m doing that this week.

I’ve only told my close family and couple friends so far.

Twins! Mine will be 11/19 too! We are going to do great!

I had my surgery yesterday. I think you’ll be okay without care the next day. My pain isn’t too bad, but I feel like crap. I think the nausea comes on with the burps. Im not supposed to pick up anything over 10 lbs for 6 weeks so plan ahead for that.

I’ve put that on my list! Thanks for the tips! Good luck tomorrow. You’ve got this!

Hi everyone, I had my VSG surgery on Monday, came home on Wednesday. My pre-op diet was two weeks prior to surgery - I was living on blended Greek Yogurt (as low sugar as possible) and Atkins protein shakes. The first couple of days weren't terrible I did a gradual transition with the pre-op diet in the week prior to officially starting.
