Wow Emma you must be getting excited/nervous! 5.5kg isn't too bad. I was pretty much the same as you at this stage. I drank heaps of green tea in the last few days and only had the 3 shakes a day, nothing else. Lots of Water, green tea and some light walking and you should be fine. I was a total loss of 6.8kg and surgeon said all was fine. Good luck!!

Yes excited, more nervous I think though. Glad the weight loss isn't too bad, good tip about the green tea. I have one day left so will give that a go. Thanks

Thanks guy's, I Just had my pre op phone consult, all systems go. I have to be at the hospital for 7am tomorrow morning. Getting excited, though I think I had a gallbladder attack a couple of days ago, i've never felt pain like it! I thought i was goimg to die, ha ha! I hope that won't effect things for my surgery, can anyone tell me what the vsg pain is like?

Well my experience was when I initially woke up I felt horrid and had nausea but at the same time felt detached from it as you are still coming out of anaesthetic. But everyone is on board willing to give u all the meds u need. I had morphine for the first day and then just Panadol from there on out. I stopped taking Panadol a few days ago and I am one week post op today. If u have had a c section it's discomfort like that. It's mainly when u move u feel a pulling sensation but most of that has now gone too. It's not too dramatic, more just uncomfortable. I'm sure it's different for everyone but I wouldn't say the pain is unbearable. You'll be fine, don't stress :-)

I am also scheduled for Wednesday 9/19/12. Good luck to the others on the same day! Feeling very calm and ready for surgery. Not sure how much weight i will have lost on the pre op diet until then. I have 14 yr old boy/ girl twins who are Freshman and their activities keep me so busy and working too, I haven't had much time to think about surgery.

Ok thanks, I did have a C section, I coped really well with that. So this gives me hope, 10 hours to go :) I've been looking at some before and after photo's, the results are amazing! So I'm just concentrating on that right now and results I hope to get. Thanks again, that really helps.

The pain isn't evens bad as a c section. As a matter if fact I stopped pain Meds the next day. Nausea was the worst part but it only lasted the first 24 hours for me. Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
