Today I thought I was going to go crazy with this liquid diet. By lunch time I was starving and ready to eat everything that was not nailed down, but i referained. when I got off work I rushed home to prepare my 6 ounces of chicken breast and a can of green beans, D_E_L_I_C_I_O_U_S. I didn't realize how addcted to food I am. I go to the doctor tomorrow to get my surgery clearance, I am a little worried, back in 2003 I had a blood clot on my left ventrical. I have been feeling great since but still a little nervous. I am paraying everything goes ok tomorrow. Please pray for me. Well I hear as the time goes on it get's a little easier. Time will tell. Thanks, Smilecharmer ô¿ô

Hi, This is a great forum. I am so glad I found this site. I am scheduled to be sleeved on 01/18, I was scared to death to follow through with it. But I prayed and gave it to GOD. Today I went for my surgery clearance and things went well. I know it is going to be hard and such a big change, but the fear of me going on dialysis or having a heart attack scares me even more. Make the best coice for you and know the people on this site are very imformative and helpful. Good luck to you.

Go to dinner with your head held high. Your husband loves you, or else he would not be with you. You are working on your weight so don't let that be a factor right now. Go out enjoy yourself and most of all your husband. Time will take care of the weight. Have fun.

Thank you so much.

Hi Rachel, Thanks for the info. I called the Nutrionist yesterday and she told me I could eat one meal at the end of the day,4-6 ounces of lean meat and non-starchy vegetables. So I am in 7th heaven. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Hi, I am new to this site. I have my VSG scheduled 01/18/12. I am just curious what you can eat/drink on a liquid diet. I have read several thing, just curious what everyone else enjoyed on this 2 week journey. Thanks ]

This is my first day of my pre-op diet. It has not been that bad. I managed to drink my crystal light, but I forgot to get some protein. I called the Nutrionist today she stated I could eat 4-6 0unces of lean meat, so I had 1 chicken strip and green beans. It took me 30 mins to eat trying to get into the habit. I went to Walmart and boy did I want so much of the junk I used to eat, but I passed it by. I was proud of myself. I am looking forward to ths journey and really want it to work. This is truly a test for me. I sometimes wonder if it is really what I want to do. I know if I want the results I need to do the work. My surgery is scheduled for 1/18/12, i am more excited than scared. I will stop rambling... Thanks

Hi, You are not alone. I started my pre-op diet today and I am doing ok with it but what I wouldn't do for a chili dog right now...lol I pray things work out well for you. I am just the opposite I don't care who knows I am doing it for health reasons. Good luck to, I pray things go well.

Hi, I just wanted to share something with you regarding the broth. I read somewhere where some people use the broth from the chicken noodle soup, they said it justs tste better. I think I will try that as well it might work for you. Good luck on your surgery mine is 01/18/12.
