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!

Welcome Brenda and good luck to you too. Time will fly by believe me. I am in liquid for 2 weeks now only one more week to get to surgery.

I'm on my liquid diet September 10 is my surgery so excited and nervous.

So, I am finding that my surgery is all I think about!! Ha! It's hard to focus on anything else for long periods of time. I'm both excited and nervous. I keep wanting to ensure I do as much as I can to prepare. Just a little over a week to go!

Ditto for meeeee.

Hi I'm Ellen and have my surg sched sept 10. I'm on the liq diet phase.... difficult for me as I hate very sweet things, so the sugar free jello and popsicles are too sweet. the shakes are a bit gross, but managable. I am wondering the reason why we cannot have raw veggies like cucumbers ? the goal of the 2 wk pre diet is too shrink fatty liver... why would raw veggies interfer with that? also, how about lo-sodium v-8 ? thx in advance for input!

Hi Katarina.
I'm Helen and I'm from Australia, my sleeve is set for 15th September, while I'm very excited I'm also shitting myself.. Lol sorry about the language.
I have to go on liquid diet for 4 weeks prior to the surgery, don't know how I will go with that, I see a dietitian with she is great and supportive. I join this group today as I want to here from other people and pre and post, so will follow your path.

Thanks
Helen

Me too
