Hey Everyone!

My name is Katarina, I'm 26 and I live in Minnesota! Just met with my surgeon today to schedule my VSG! I chose Tuesday, September 2nd, the day after Labor Day! My pre-op liquid diet starts Saturday, August 23rd. Wondering if anyone else is having surgery on or around this date? I would LOVE to have a surgery buddy! Someone who is going through what I am, when I am, so we can help each other out! Also, if anyone has an Instagram, my user name is liberianne_gal. I follow tons of amazing men and women who have went through Weight Loss Surgery and have fantastic stories! Can't wait to create my own!

Hope to talk to some of you soon!

Katarina

I have my surgery 9/15 too. Good luck to you!

Me too! GL!

Today was first day on liquid diet with 1 food meal!!

It went good!

I shipped at Costco, and picked up premier protein drinks, and muscle milk lite- my Dr doesn't want me to drink less than 20g of protein-

My husband grilled me chicken tonight and I measured out my protein, grilled veggies and had a small salad-

I'm to have 1 more protein shake before bed- which is perfect for after my walk.

Surgery is 9/8/14, and I see my surgeon for the last time tomorrow until surgery!

I am down 17 pounds from initial appointment with him-

Do you know what the average pre op weight loss is?? I'd like to be down a total of 25 pounds before surgery.

How did everyone else do that started their preop diet today??

This is OUR month!!! Woot woot ! ????????????

HoneyBunz and Renew Me......we should stay in touch along the way!

I have surgery on the 8th also. I am lucky, my dr does not do the liquids pre op diet. I just have to limit my carbs to less than 55 per day. So that has not been to bad. I hate protein drinks so I have been experimenting with different brands and have actually come up with a few that dont tast bad. I like nectar brand and matrix coffee protein drinks. I have only lost 10 pound since my initial appt and my final appt with my doc is today also!! SO EXCITING!!! I would love to follow your progress also. I dont know how to add friends as i am fairly new to this site. but i would add you if i knew how
