[cmehl73 0]

Hi everyone! My name is Carrie and I am new to the forums. I began my journey yesterday, June 21st, which was Day #1 of my Pre-Op liquid diet. I did really well, except that I had a slight headache. Woke up this morning feeling pretty good and no headache yet. :-) I am scheduled for my VSG on Tuesday, June 25th. Any advice is welcome! Thank you.

No advice from me since I haven't been sleeved yet. I have my meeting with my surgeon on Monday in fact, so it could be coming up soon! I did want to wish you well tho & imagine how gorgeous you're going to be since you're so pretty now! Good luck! Keep us informed of your journey!

So excited for you. I believe the hardest part is the pre-op liquid diet. But it is a great mental boot camp for your lifestyle change. Everyday remind yourself - that this liquid diet part is NOT forever. I am 5 months out..and I can barely remember the 2 weeks of liquids. Although at the time-- it felt really hard. I have no regrets having been sleeved. Every time I pass somebody who is obese - I just want to holler out to them and say - I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER- go get sleeved. It is a new lease on life. It makes weight just fly off your body--of course-you still have to make the right food choices. Good luck - keep us posted. And remember- if you are starting to get fed up and cranky---the liquid part is not forever.

Oh Wow! Thanks so much for the advice! Congratulations on you being 5 weeks out. How are you feeling? I am so scared about having complications after the surgery. I have one friend who had the Bypass and had numerous issues the first couple of months, but is super skinny now and is a little over a year out. My other friend was sleeved and had no pain, no nausea, no nothing! I was like, "Really?!?!?" I want and am hoping for the same thing. My doc only put me on a 4 day liquid pre-op diet. How come I am seeing people posting different lengths of time for them? Does it depend on how heavy you are? Some say 7 days, some 2 weeks, etc.
