I have a tentative VGS surgery date of December 14th. Anyone else scheduled for December yet? Lots of questions to come, I’m sure, but also looking for people to go through this together.

Hi All, just joined this forum and I am excited to connect with you all. I believe that these groups are necessary to keep morale up and help during the rough times. My VSG surgery is December 20th. It has all gone so fast since I made the decision and I can't believe I'll be starting my pre-op diet on December 6th. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

December 20th !

Dec 20th here. I will start my liquid diet on Dec 6th. It will be rough considering I work in a restaurant. I’m surrounded by food all day.

12/3 and can’t wait! 17 days!!!

Bypass on 12/10! We're in this together!!

For those of us scheduled in December, are you eating like there is no tomorrow or are you trying to be good before you start your pre-op diet. I go day by day, sometimes binge eating and sometimes fasting.

I don’t understand why some doctors require it and others don’t . I was going to do surgery through insurance in nj but there was an exclusion , so now doing it self pay In Florida . No doctor didn’t require 2 weeks of liquids before but Florida doctor does

I am on vacation in Mexico , eating normal , but working out a lot ., plus enjoying alcohol cuz I know it’s almost over !

I haven’t been binging, but we do visit favorite restaurants on date nights and I’m making a lot of my favorites for thanksgiving. I’ve tried to be conscious of when I feel full and am trying to stop then rather than “cleaning my plate”. My surgery is the 14th, so December 1st is the day I start my Pre-Op diet. I’m blessed that I do not have to do a liquid diet like most, but rather a low carb, low fat diet.

So why do some people have to do a liquid diet and others don’t ?

December 6th and crazy nervous already. Suffer from depression and anxiety so that doesn’t help!

December 17th for me!!

It's very difficult! My office is right next to the break room, and we're having our office thanksgiving lunch today. So. Much. Food in there.
