Any May surgeries taking place? I’m scheduled for the 14th, hoping to share similar experiences!

Y’all are going to do GREAT!! The anticipation is MUCH worse than the actual surgery!!! Let me put it in perspective: I’m a 41 year old high school teacher...BMI of about 33 (I had it done in Mexico)...I had surgery on a Friday evening and was back at work and totally fine on Tuesday!! Y’all are going to do great!! Be excited!!!!!!!!!!

Today has been tough.. I’m on day 3 of 10 and I’m kind of hungry. I can’t have anything but liquids and popsicles. But I keep on focusing on the bigger picture. 8 more days til surgery!! How has it been treating you?

you arent allowed one meal for dinner with lean meat and veggies? That has got to be hard!

You can do 8 days! I'm sorry you are only doing liquids, but I bet you will have an easier time post op when you MUST be on liquids only. Once I'm on liquids only, I'm sure I will struggle. I am allowed one lean meat meal a day, and I really look forward to it. I'm sure you can do these last few days!

I've started a secret May facebook group if anyone is interested? In order to be secret I have to add "friends" or I can use an email address. I just don't want to create a "closed" group because my VSG is not something I want public. So, if you want to be part of this then I need an email address to add.

You have to cut and paste the url because this site disabled it...can't blame them.

Actually, I am wrong the group has to be "closed" first then changed to secret otherwise you have to be "friends" first to be added to the "secret" group. The thing is I don't want my VSG public

Maybe give it a different name like “nutrition tips” or something. Then ask a question to new members like what’s the password? And then put the password in this thread

That's a great idea! Or I can add people using an email address.

done! I'm not sure, but you may have to respond to an email. Sorry for my ineptitude. I have never created a secret group before.

Nope! i swear this liquid diet is the devil! Lol I would be perfectly fine if I was allowed a lean meat and veggies for dinner!

Wow! that looks tough!

Hopefully the week flies by! During working hours I’m good and don’t even think about food. 7 more days until surgery, I got this!

You are doing great, day by day... On the bright side you will totally crush it post op, since the pre op has been so strict!
