I just got my surgery date and I want to make some August surgery friends so we can share our ups and downs in the weight loss journey.

Hi! liquid-only Pre-Op diet royally sucks. I was already on it, but then my surgery was rescheduled, so I got a weeks reprieve but had to restart again. One week down, one week to go, but it feels like I haven't had a bite to eat in a year. I'll persevere though!
I have to stay under 10g of fat and under 30g of carbs. I'm living off 3 protein shakes a day and sugar free jello/popsicles. If you can actually eat real food on your diet, I enjoy you.

Yes the liquid diet sucks!! I just wanna eat mac and cheese or something comforting...uggghhh lol but really I haven't had really bad cravings. I just want to get surgery over with!!

30g of crabs isn't too bad.

I’m in the home stretch! RNY is 8/13 and my 3 day liquid diet begins Friday. In the meantime I’m making sure I have everything I’ll need (drinks/meds) on hand and stuff that my hubby can prepare for himself too. He is almost 3 months RNY postop and now it’s my turn

Your my surgery buddy too??!! Yeeaass! 8/13 is my date as well!! What should I pack for my night stay? I'm so excited!! We're going to be just great!!! You watch!! [emoji106] [emoji106]

Thursday I start the liquid diet & the nerves are really kicking in.

30 Grams of Crabs sound gooed, especially if they're from,Maryland, 30 grams of carbs. just doesn't sound as thrilling?

I am the 13th as well!!! Good luck!!

@ Elle.....I am also the 13th. 2 week preop diet is not too bad now that I am a week into it. Not looking forward to my weekend liquid diet. What state are you in?

How tall are you?

I was 8/6. Going home now. Also had a hiatal hernia repair (did any know I had one. It wasn't there when I had the sleeve.) Also had a congenital hernia in my diaphragm, so he fixed that too. That is where my pain is. I have dilaudid this time, which is really helping. I usually don't have much success with pain meds working. Clears only in the hospital, water and broth are going down fine. Full liquids when I get home.

at the hospital with my hubby, he just came out of the surgery around 1 hour ago! as he is waking up he said he feels like a pressure on the stomach (the air), then he asked for pain medicine not that is painful but he does not want to hurt, he said!

Hello I’m joining your ranks. Vsg scheduled for August 27th. I was on this board under a different user name 8 or 9 years ago when I got banded. It slipped in 2014 and I had it removed then. I’m very nervous but also motivated. No liquid pre op diet from my surgeon but he wants me to do a low carb low fat high protein diet in the 2 weeks leading up to surgery.
