I'm pretty new here... my VSG is scheduled for this Wed. the 13th. I am on day 4 of pre-op liquid diet. I was getting pretty scared there but saw my therapist today and I feel better and of course reading everyone else's stories help a ton.

I hear ya about talking to your stomach LOL and boy does it talk back lol... the things keeping me sane are those popsicles and Jello lol not sure how I am going to make it 12 and 1/2 hrs without anything at all on Wednesday morning lol guess I will sleep late.

My surgery is on July 13th as well and the pre-op liquid diet is 5 days long and has been hard. It is now the third day and my stomach isn't hurting AS bad but the hunger is still there.. I went to a health food store and got different flavors of broths and miso soup and lots of sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello. I drink my protein shakes and tons of other liquids and when I just can't stand not having anything to eat I get my popsicles and jello out lol. I stayed home a lot during this time because popsicles don't travel well lol and the SMELLS of food would make my tummy hurt. Good luck with pre-op and good luck with surgery

I am not completely ready. I have bought some more liquids (mushroom broth, beef broth, protein shakes.. etc.) My surgery is Wednesday and I can't wait till it's done and over with because I am hoping that I won't have these hunger pangs. I have been on liquid diet 3 days as of today and it's a little better but I'm hungry and then again I'm not so hungry, my stomach says I'm hungry lol...and I dream of food hahahaha. The liquid diet alone had me thinking I am not going to make it till Wed. but today it's a bit better so I have hope that I will make it... one more hard hurdle on Tuesday midnight I am aloud no food or liquid and surgery is at 12:30pm on Wed. oh well just can't wait hoping everything changes after surgery (with tummy hunger feelings).

Congrats my pre-op is on that day and my surgery is July 13th so another July person Congrats again

I love this list because I have the same list lol a lap would be so nice and pedicures (my feet need it)
