My VSG is scheduled sept 10. I have a one week liquid pre-op diet. I’m so excited but scared at the same time.

I'm excited and scared too. I talked to the surgeon yesterday and he said it was normal, and that he wasn't scared, but he was excited for me. I liked that. I'm glad he wasn't scared 🤣

I cant seem to find many options as of shakes and Multivitamins that don't contain Iodine and that meet the low carb, low sugar, low fat requirements for post op diet, anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions would be great!

what are you using for liquids other than shakes and Water? have you tried the Protein waters? I'm trying to find some sweetened with stevia not sucralose. Sucralose gives me a stomach ache, makes me pukey. Looking for suggestions!!

Everyone on here is doing so amazing. So glad I joined this group!

Try this one, it’s powder form and tasty like crystal lite, it uses Stevia.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
