I am scheduled for my vsg surgery on Monday January 17 so I have to start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. For the next 2 weeks I will be living on 3-4 protein shakes, sugarfree drinks, plain eggs and low fat cheese per day. I am so nervous and scared that I won't be able to do it. Any suggestions and tips to help me make through these next 2 weeks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jen

Just go day by day. Go on the forum for support or take a walk when things get tough. It is 110 % worth it to get your sleeve. I can't beleive the difference my sleeve has made in my life already. I finally feel like I am control of food. Food does not have power over me anymore. You can do it!!!

do u ever regret having it done and also would u do it again now that u have been through it

My pre surgery diet was not total liquid although it was 800-900 calories per day. I could have the meals provided by the surgeons office and protien drinks. (one meal per day and the rest protien shakes and other snacks). I didn't think I could do it either, but for the first time in my life I was determined to do it. I did not have one crumb of any food that was not on the program. Mind you, I am a diet cheater, and can always find a way to cheat. I was so proud of myself that I did this without cheating, and it made me hopeful that I can stay on the post of program and lose the weight. Good Luck

I started my liquid diet on the 27th and have now finished my 8th day. The first day was a bit difficult, but the second day I realized that if I had about 10 grams of protein every two hours my hunger was controled much better. By the third day I was fine and no longer worried. I can honestly say I have not had any caffine, carbonation or food for the past 8 days.

Like my son always say to me "Keep your eye on the prize". Stay focused and you will do great!

I am very new to the sleeve so it is unfair to say right now. I don't regret anything so far, though. I feel amazing (except for a little soreness from the surgery which is normal a week out). I am not obsessing over food anymore, which is so nice. I will say that I do LOVe the sleeve over the lapband!
