July Surgery

Well, I’m 7 days away from one of the most important decisions I have made in my life and yes! I’m excited!! Today also marks my 8th day of Liquid Pre Op Diet. I’ve been following so many incredible journeys, gathering insight, great information and such supportive people. July 12th is my day! Can’t wait to share my experience with all of you.

That's awesome, my surgery is scheduled for July 16th at 8 am.
So I am 5 days behind you.
I'm concerned about not being put on pre OP diet.My surgeon office says I have had sleeve surgery so that I don't have to worry about pre OP diet this time.
Just nothing after midnight the night before surgery.
I am absolutely excited to hear how well everyone else is doing.
Keep us posted and when it's my turn I will do the same.

I don’t have a pre op diet either- I was JUST about to post my concern then I saw you say the same. I, too have had VSG. I’ve gained weight since my consult for conversion at the end of April and the doctor didn’t even flinch. We are proceeding as planned.

Because I don’t have a pre op diet, i am having a problem with a 10 day long food funeral though... I don’t know how to stop and I am so worried my head won’t be in the right place come time to recover...
