I also have been a lurker since I signed up on here. My mom and I are both having VSG's with Dr. Alvarez on the 30th of May! We started our liquid diets yesterday, the 19th. We are very excited as well!

Well the Dr said today that 200 was too low, that there was no way to get in 70 grams of protein with that few amount. They said I should be getting closer to 400 but to worry about getting the protein in more.
I found out the hard way I can't drink milk last night ugh....

Michael,
By the date of your post, you have already had your surgery. Mine is in 2 days on the 22nd. I understand what you were feeling.
I hope your surgery went well. If you are up to it, let me know how you got through those last few hours. I hope you are feeling wonderful, and remember, this isn't the end, this is the beginning!
Good Luck,
Charlene

I have lost about 26lbs total using the liquid diet for pre-op. I dropped 19lbs in a week and the last 7 have been slow to come off. Sugery is this friday!!

I am probably getting 600 calories with my protein shakes (about 3-4 oz each meal) mixed with milk. I only use 3-4 oz of skim milk but still use the whole scoop of protein powder. I don't want to lose muscle. The first few days home I could barely get anything down, getting a little better each day.
