I am scheduled for my vsg surgery on Monday January 17 so I have to start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. For the next 2 weeks I will be living on 3-4 protein shakes, sugarfree drinks, plain eggs and low fat cheese per day. I am so nervous and scared that I won't be able to do it. Any suggestions and tips to help me make through these next 2 weeks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jen

If I could do a pre-op diet....
Ibejjo replied to ThatDudesMom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know exactly how you feel, I am on day 2 of my diet and I have cheated both days with Lean Cuisine meals for dinner. I started my 2 week (yes 14 day) pre surgery liquid diet on Monday January 3rd and my surgery date in January 17. My diet is 3-4 protein shakes a day, plain eggs, low fat cheese and sugarfree liquids only. I would be super happy to have your pre-surgery diet for the next 14 days. I am going to try my best each day to stick to the diet guideline. I am going to hope and pray that my surgeon will be happy with my liver when he opens me up and be complication free once he is done with the procedure. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as we both try to make it through this difficult time. Jen -
I saw my surgeon today and got my date. Drum roll..... Monday January 17th. That means that my new life begins in only 19 more days.

We have the same sugery date January 17th. I feel exactly the same way, I first tried to get the RNY surgery in 2005 because I didn't know about the sleeve but was not approved by Kaiser. I feel like I am in a dream and it won't feel like reality until I am wheeled into the OR room. I wish you the best of luck and a smooth surgery. We have to keep each other updated and motivated to use the sleeve to reach our weight loss goal. Send me a PM and I can give you my email so we can keep in touch. Jen

I am meeting the surgeon, Dr. Irani in Bakersfield at 10am to get my surgery date and the details of my pre-op diet. I am hoping for a surgery date of January 17th. So please cross your and wish me luck. Thanks, Jen

I am in the same boat as well. I have been eating everything under the sun since my Kaiser Options classes ended on 10/26. I have gained close to 20 pounds in the last 2 months because of all of the fast food and junk food that I have been eating including all of the holiday food as well. My thinking was that since I was going to be losing weight with the surgery then I might as well enjoy these few weeks before I have the surgery and have to been on a liquid diet for weeks. I have to meet with the surgeon this Thursday 12/30 for my final appt and to get my date, I am afraid that he will not give me a date until I lose these 20 pounds. So I have decided that I am going to go on liquid protein diet for the next 3 day to try to lose some of this weight. Wish will luck. Thanks. Jen
