Hello everyone!

I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!

Anyone else scheduled out in December?

Same for me.

Day 6 post op and god im getting sick of the liquid diet on it for three weeks now :@ I think when i get back to solid food ill never have a soup or broth again..

Hows everyone doing so far? Going to weigh myself tomorrow for first time post op. Doing it every Friday from now on which is my surgery day. Feel like doing it once weekly might be a bit healthier for my mind than doing it sporadically.

Good idea. Day 10 preop liquids. 5 more to go

Day 2 post op. I’ve been home since yesterday. This is no joke. I know the pain will get better, but right now I do not want to touch any water or protein drinks

Don't worry about the protein drinks at the start but make sure you get that water in anyway how i found just having a glass beside me all the time helped remind me to drink. Add some flavouring to it if it makes it better...

As per always though if your worried give your team a call to check in with them. My team fortunately call me daily so i guess im fortunate that way.

You need to. It's the only way to heal.. good luck and I wish you a speedy recovery. I am 9 days post op and it is hard. But we will get through this. [emoji3]

Ahhh I’m nervous!!! Tomorrow is my day. I kind of can’t believe it!!!!! I’ve been working towards this day for 9 months! I’m so nervous!

HI, I am scheduled for surgery on Dec. 18th. Excited and nervous. Any one out there older than average. I'm 62 soon 63.

Good luck Dec 12!

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear some of you are having such a rough time especially Psyched. One of my biggest fears is throwing up. I hope they were able to give you something. I’m 4 days away I was totally fine now freaking out a bit. And VSG David u seemed like you were doing so well before...

You will do great the first day or so is rough and then it settles. In a weeks time you'll be starting to feel back to yourself again. We are all here routing for yah Everyone has a different experience I reckon post op but best advice is to sip the water get moving and avoid the pain killers as much as yah can.

First post-op weigh in totally ecstatic lost 10pounds in the first week post op (4.6kilos) and over 30 pounds since i've started the pre-op diet. So excited to see what week two will bring.
