Hi everyone,

I am having my VSG on October 4th in Montreal, Quebec, Canada by Dr. Michel Gagner. I am self pay. My Dr. doesn't require a pre-op diet but I plan to do a liquid diet anyway starting on Sunday so I have 1 week to get rid of some of the carb cravings....

I am excited but nervous also. I have wanted this for more than 1 year so it is hard to believe it is really going to happen soon.

Nancy

:001_tongue: Mine is October 4th at Richmond CA Kaiser Permanente. Having a HUGE problem staying under goal weight. My current is about 2 lbs over with clothes on. You think I can weigh in without ? HAHA It is crazy trying to control, but all I think about is food lately. Hopefully it will get better after surgery!

so ive been buying things little by little so i have it ready for my surgery. I found a must have i thought id tell you about. dont buy the chicken broth from the store it only has 2g of Protein, go online and order Unjury chicken Soup broth it has 21g of protein and 1g carb in 8oz and its pretty tasty.

If anyone else knows of any low carb protein mix that tastes good let me know. :) im always looking for some good post-op protein liquids.< /p>

I am having surgery on the 18th in TJ. Who is your DR? It is such a relief to finally be on the road to good health!

Scheduled for the 18th in TJ. Seeing Dr Ortiz at OCC. Traveling by myself and trying not to worry about the "being alone" part.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
