[clmftw 45]

I'm having VSG on December 19th. Anyone wanna be buddies?

[Mustang2013 21]

I'm having surgery on December 18th. I will be your buddie but I'm new at the whole chat thing. Not sure how it works but I have read everything about VSG and watched a lot of YouTube videos. I feel very ready for this surgery. Very excited.

Are you in the DFW metroplex?

[Mustang2013 21]

No I am in Canada. British Columbia.

I am in the DFW area. Surgery is 12/23.

[clmftw 45]

Mustang - Oh ok! Well then we can support each other across borders!

Mama Spike - Excellent! How are you doing? Are you on a pre-op diet yet??

[barefeet 73]

I am in the DFW area, and I am scheduled for 12/20! would love to join you guys!

[Mustang2013 21]

Thank you I need support can't seem to find anyone from Canada and would love to keep in touch with you all. Wish I was in your area. My surgery is Wednesday I have been on a liquid diet and for the first time today I was thinking that I might really miss eating. Wondering if life might get boring. I've spent a lot of time eating when I'm happy, sad, stressed. I will find a replacement though. Maybe shopping. Haha.

I'm in the process of getting set up to have my sleeve done January 17, I am from Alberta Canada. I am new at this chat and all too but if I can figure it out let's be buddy's

[Mustang2013 21]

Hi. Sounds good I am new at it as well. Not really sure how it all works. I am just trying to read everything I can and learn from everyone's experiences. I was supposed to have the surgery on the 11th but was bumped to the 18th. I am excited to start this journey.

Clmftw and barefeet-Who is your surgeon? I am on liquids with one meal in evening. Not too bad just a little headachey.

[barefeet 73]

CLMFTW- My surgeon is Dr. Holden, she is one of the surgeons in Dr. Kim's practice. I am on 4-5 shakes a day, with Jello and chicken stock. This is Day 3 of my pre- op... yesterday was HARD, but I lost 3 pounds. Thinking that may have been Water, as I spent the entire day in the restroom... you would have thought I was pregnant!

Who is your surgeon? sounds like Nicholson's pre-op diet.

Hi I'm in north Fort Worth, my surgery is tomorrow with dr Kim. Since Holden doing yours are you going to trophy club?

This has been a very difficult pre-op diet for sure. 3rd day I broke down and had a 1/4 c of maltomeal! I know not a terrible choice, but still wasn't on plan.

I would love to meet others in this area to help support each other. Also there is a December sleevers come in board too.

Good luck with your surgeries!

I am having surgery in trophy club ..nice facility, but small. Dr. Kim did my husband's surgery a year ago, but he no longer takes BCBS, so Holden was my only option if I wanted to use that practice. I like her.

I broke down as well and on day 1 I had a cheese stick and yesterday I had a bite of another cheesestick. Today seems to be better, and I think the next 4 days will be easier as will be at work and away from the smell of food.

I am on the December sleepovers board, good people there, also the losers thread that accompanies it.

Best wishes on your surgery tomorrow. I will be sending prayers your way.

[Mama Spike 144]

Frenzel is doing mine. I have BCBS as well. I live by the Texas Motor Speedway and drive by Trophy Club everyday. Good luck tomorrow!!!! I have been doing okay on the diet but I can have a small meal in the evening which helps tremendously. I just have to keep my kids away from my jello! I created a mom drawer.
