Hello Everyone!

My name is Ruby Hernandez. I am 18 years old and my VSG surgery is on May 13, 2019. It’s coming up so soon! I am becoming really frusturated with my 2-Week Pre-Op Liquid Diet. Tomorrow is Day 7 and I have already lost 9 lbs. I have not cheated at all throughout this whole diet and I would like to keep it that way. Any tips on how to avoid yourself from cheating? Thanks! ?

We’re having surgery the same day! Stay strong, pre op is almost over

Yay! We’re Surgery Twins! Yes, it is almost over! ?

Keep positive X think of the future

Thank you! ☺️

I used Visual reminders and talked my way through tough spots :

bihhh you know you dont even need that _____

good luck

Haha thank you for the tip! Will definitely try it!

Think about the potential complications of not adhering to the diet. That helped me a lot. And remember that after surgery you won't be hungry! You'll wonder why it was even hard to do the pre OP diet.

Thank you for the response, Vsho. Thinking about the potential complications has been the main reason why I’ve stayed strict on this diet. Also because I refuse to let food control me. Thanks, again!

Ruby,
Hey if you get hungry and I am Sure you have try to drink some water it kinda fills you up.
Your doing amazing things and you're right don't let food control you.
Very wise already at the age of 18.
Good luck with your surgery.
