My VSG is scheduled for 8/27/18. Feels so far away but too close as well as my tummy does flip-flops just thinking about it. I have to admit I’ve been indulging since I’ve jumped through all the hoops ( mid-June). Working on getting my focus and discipline back. Planning to break out paperwork and re-educate myself. Any other pre-surgery ‘guilty indulgers’ out there?

Im a day after you and ill admit i've been having a few food funerals myself...lol

August 15
Mixed feelings

I’m m the 29 th we are almost there:)

Surgery date is 8/6. Started my preop diet today - surgeon required Optifast shakes. THEY TASTE LIKE DIRT! I’m going to “cheat” and switch to PREMIER!!

I go in for my surgeon appointment this Wednesday and they'll let me know my surgery date then - so excited! When I spoke to the woman today about my appointment on Wednesday she said they schedule based on any requirements my insurance may have, but since my insurance has no requirements if your BMI was over 50 when you first began, mine would pass me without any other requirements needed. Heres hoping for a not-so-distant surgery date!

@ZeroCool pretty let us know what happens,next.

I'm August 6th -band to bypass. Sooo excited but scared too???

@Kcoley Good luck, I'm sure you will do great!

Guys please someone remind me that a preop diet that lets you eat actual food is not I repeat is not a starvation diet I’m supposed to get 1500 calories a day and all the protein and I have the options of things like protein ice cream and I can have a single actual piece of dark chocolate. I’m exactly 5 weeks from surgery and I’m so impatient and ready

Yes, I have been having weekend food funerals. Small coconut cream pie Sonic shake. Cheeseburger wrap from Beef o'Bradys (so good) Panera bagels. Tomorrow is 2 week until surgery. I gave up coffee and my vices lol.

I start my liquid diet tomorrow the 25th of July. Can’t wait for my surgery date to get here!! August 8th ?
