Thanks Vitamin C drops are added to my list. I haven't bought anything for my preop diet yet. I only have one week liquid so maybe I will stock up on Premier Protein for the liquid diet.

Thanks Lissa! I will try some Swanson broth and Mio!

Congrats K! I can't wait to hear about your journey.

@cookies I like your list. I am going to get broth, premier protein, crystal light, and Gatorade. I didn't know they had sugar free. I wonder if I could add unflavored protein to the Gatorade.

June 15th for me! Congratulations!

June 15th. so anxious!

You look amazing, Congrats!

Congrats, you look fabulous!

I read on another page it might be stomach acid. Are you taking an antacid. Some doctors have you take them for three months after surgery.

As a person with an addictive personality I have one of the most illogical fears. I have a very sporatic relationship with exercise and I have failed so miserably time and time again.. What if I start exercising again like I always do and lose a ton of weight and then stop. will I gain it all back even with the sleeve. I am too afraid to start this cycle but I want to lose weight. Do I have to exercise like crazy to lose weight with the sleeve? Anyone else have this fear?

Bodybuilder, yeah I so get that. Lol.

I am fairly active now at 260 lbs as I pretty much walk about a mile or so a day. I used to work at a gym many years ago before I had kids. I haven't exercised in a couple weeks but I could go to the gym and do the elliptical for 40 minutes with no problem. I think that's my problem. When I go the gym I feel like I have to be challenged and then slowly but surely life either gets in the way and I fall off. I don't want to set myself up for failure. If I go all out like I normally do will I ruin things if I stop. By the way I am a mother, work full time and go to graduate school at night.

You go to the facility which has several bedrooms. The sleep technician hooks you up to a ton of electrodes and then you go to sleep. You are advised to not nap so you can get some sleep. If the study is split night you will stay overnight two nights or half of the night you will sleep with no mask(cpap) and the other half with the cpap. I did not have apneas until I was in Rem sleep which didn't leave enough time for the cpap mask. I had to go two nights. They put a gunky creme in my head to get the electrodes to register. Overall no biggie but not the most restful sleep as it was an unfamiliar place. Good luck.

I read this too and got kind of scared too. I hope I wake up sleeved.

For those of you who are post op what do you wish you had known before the surgery?

I'll have to try that. Sounds like a good idea. My next post I want to show all the protein shakes I purchased. I have the same protein Jello. lol.

Be careful. I had a co-worker who was scheduled for her VSG when she went to get her gallbladder ultrasound they found out she was preggars. Her surgery has been postponed for obvious reasons.

Congrats!

I am vlogging. This is a link to my first video. = I should be getting better. I was holding the ipad. I am going to try next time to record with my phone. Not sure how to hold the camera. In any case I subbed. Please feel free to sub to me. I am scheduled June 15th.

Drink the water and stuff your pockets with weights. Maybe the weighted wrist bands.

I Dont have my surgery until June15th. I am seriously sick. I find myself eating awful foods and then I get depressed. I am trying so hard to stop.
