Day 1, the countdown begins!!!! 4 weeks from today is my VSG!!!!

Good luck! Just focus on the long term!

I'm an old girl (VSG 2013), but am trying to mostly do protein shakes and tea for the next two weeks. Your protein shake journey can help me, so keep us posted re: your weight loss at this stage. Hang in there.

I found a pretty good tasting one at Ross the other day! It's a "Belgian Chocolate" flavor and I like it.

You can do it! Good luck on your WLS journey.

Oy! Ok so that was harder than I thought it would be! Definitely going to have to make a schedule- my group says 4-5 shakes per day- I had trouble getting down three.
I had a big salad for dinner and had some chicken broth for a snack.
AND!!! I did not cheat!! Only one day but it’s going to be a one day at a time thing for sure.

My dr said 3 shakes a day is okay for preop but full Liquids so a dramatic drop in calories

Hi! I hope its been going good! What kind of shake is in the picture? It looks good lol

It’s been going well... but has been TOUGH!! I am totally fine during the day but at night I want to eat the whole house! It’s probably because I need to add more shakes- actually one of the hardest parts has been getting 4-5 shakes in!!
I start my official pre op diet next Monday- I just decided to do a modified one with shakes during the day and low carb dinner on my own so I could ease into it.
The shake above is some vanilla protein powder ( my co op sells it in bulk so no clue on the brand) blended with huckleberries

Oh forgot to say- down four lbs from last week!

Hang in there, it does get MUCH easier! I'm two weeks away from surgery and don't get hungry. I don't eat any of the "free" foods anymore and have to set a timer to get the supplements in or I will miss a few.

Good luck!
