Hey Ontario! Sneaking over the border!
Hey all! I hear from the flabby CuerWithCurves that you are a friendly but kick-ass group! So I'm here to check you out! Had VSG about two years ago, lost 105 lbs, still struggle wiH crap food. Yeah, that's me! Live outside Ahington. DC with my partner and two kitties (but we're not cat ladies, honest!). I'm fom Maine, though, so . . . Yeah, not as frSty, but better than these weather wusses here! We might get 5 ins of snow on Weds and you'd think it was a blizzard!
I'll be back! And without a passport! Who knows what I'll bring over the border! 
Ann 
Yayyy! I'm no longer the lone American of the Ontario forum! Welcome to our dysfunctional corner of the interwebs!

The pre-op liquid diet isn't that bad. In fact, I really liked not having to think about what to eat. I also liked being able to get creative with my shakes. Once you get past the first 3-4 days, it's smooth sailing.

You will definitely get sick of the sweets and won't want anything sweet for a long time post-op. That's why the broth is a God-send... take advantage of having broth for your snacks!
