Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Anyone else having to go on a 5x day meal replacement shake for the two week prop?

Yep I start on Monday!! But am lucky to be able to have a meal for dinner too

I'm a June 11th sleever!!! And we are in great company it is almost our turn... Does your doctor have you going on a preop liquid diet for two weeks?

Yes.. I have my pre op appt on the 29th & that's when they are going to lay down the law lol but until then I'm living it up!! JK. I'm doing things in moderation bc I KNOW those 2 weeks are going to be a challenge , so I'm gonna need you guys!!!

@DENALJ1354 What insurance do u have?

Me too I love my coffee:) So it will be hard to kick, but I think I could have a cup of decaf with vanilla protein powder and the dietitian said it taste pretty good... So I'm a give that a try

I recently tried Click Espresso Mocha protein powder & it was good! I used mostly water, but added a splash of half & half & a little bit of cold coffee. I'm still pre-op, so not sure it will work post, but it was good & gave me the coffee hit I wanted.

June 26th for me too!!

June 26th for me too!!

Thanks!

I have already kinda started liver shrink. Cut out breakfast drink shake

How's it been? I'm nervous for that aspect.

Hi I'm a new member. My surgery date is June 26th. I started cutting down on my sweet tea addiction as well as starting to curb my carb intake. I guess I feel like maybe it will help with the pre op diet if I get used to depriving myself...will see. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I've been watching tons of VSG You Tube videos. Anyone planning to document their journey that way?

I've been watching too and yes I plan to document. That's the exciting part, recording the results.

I'm June 19th too! I have a countdown widget that breaks it down to the minute.

That's cool! Count down to slimmer days!

June 25 th on my end!

June 25 th on my end!

Me too!!

Me three ; <) June 25th!

I have decided instead of doing one week with a shake and 4 oz meat and 1cup of veggies for lunch and dinner that I am going to start the 4 shakes a day and 64-80 oz of liquid half being water on Tuesday when the preop starts. I have already been doing good with one shake a day and healthier lunch and dinner. I am ready to start. So I am going to start on Tuesday for a surgery date of June 6
