So, a wee bit about me. I'm 31, Scottish, but live in Australia now. BMI 35.

I Have my VSG booked in for the 26th of September. I'm not planning on telling any friends or family, and I'm going to Tijuana, Mexico to have it done. If anyone would like to buddy up and have someone to chat about what we're going through, please message me!

Anyone else in a similar position?

I am Sept. 13th as well! Good luck to all of us and we can support one another.

My date is Sept. 13th! I'm on FB. If you start a group, please add me. Thanks. Emili Marrs

I am 9/26 as well, in Virginia.10 days to a new, fresh start!!! My surgeon does not have any special pre-op diet... I was thinking of doing liquids for a week anyway. Thoughts? Your pre-op diet? Any ideas on a non-nasty Protein powder for after?

Excited!!!

Hello! I am scheduled for the sleeve on 9/26 also. My surgeon requires a 2 week pre-op diet that consists of a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch and then for supper you can have 4 to 6 ounces of lean meat with 2 servings of low carb veggies. The nurse suggested adding Protein Bars if you need a snack. I've lost 5 lbs just since Wednesday.

As far as Protein shakes, I've tried different brands of protein both premade and powders and my favorite are unjury and Bariatric fusion. Unjury is cheaper between the two. I ordered samples of different brands to try before ordering whole bottles. I hope this helps!

I was 9/26, and unfortunately the drain in left upper abdomen became infected. I was in ER all day yesterday with fevers and terrible pain. I am on antibiotics now, and drain was removed yesterday (excruciating!!)

I feel much better, but still have a decent amount of pain plus soaking sweats and chills. Drain site actually looks worse tonight than it did yesterday. I go back to surgeon Tuesday AM...

Other sites do not hurt at all! I can keep up with my liquids without problem. Once I got sick, I regained the 5 pounds I had lost... all inflammation I'm sure, bc still on no-cal clears. But bummer a bit anyway.

Glad you are doing so well! Love hearing an update!
