Counting down!

Hi VSGers!

I have been around for a while lurking a little, on the surgery rollercoaster off and on since January 2010.  Finally found a good dr. and am scheduled for surgery on May 11th!!!

I stary my 14 day pre-op liquid diet in the morning.  I have warned my family & close friends, even my pastor! I have eaten all the chocolate I had on hand and stuffed myself to the gills with shrimp & broccolli!!  Now I'm counting down the days.....

Any advice?????

Wow  you have waited a long time,  congratulations,  this is the best thing you can do for yourself.   I had to do the diet pre op,  sucked  lol   the first few days is the hardest,  i didn't really like any of the things i could have,  but after the first few days i decided to eat/drink stuff and not go around hungry all the time.   You are so close now sweetie,  you can do this.   Take care :o) jeani

HI I start my diet on May 5th and surgery May 19.. I find that I like the slim fast low carb, and I found a new protein drink that I saw a post on here someone talkking about them, it is called Jay Robb Whey Protein, I have the strawberry and tried the chocoalate that was good, I mised it with skim milk..

I found these at Whole Foods, I bought the little packets first to try them out..  I was told by my support group members when it gets hard, for a few days just remember why you are doing it.. It will all be over with soon..

GOod Luck,

Susan

  You are almost there!  That IS exciting...the time will fly by, and before you know it, you'll be sleeved and beginning a new chapter on your journey...congratulations!  Keep us posted.  Best wishes,  Viv 

Thanks everyone!! Two days down, twelve to go - I have never been so hungry or peed so much in all my life!  I hope the time does fly so I won't notice either feeling too much.  Thanks for the encouragement!
