Congrats! That's quite an accomplishment! Keep up the good work!

Or anyone with personal experience this subject. I'd like to get a chemical facial peel while I'm out from work recovering from my VSG in 11 days. I am going to Mexico and they do peels for quite a bit less than here in California. Was thinking I could get a peel the night before surgery and get it over with. But someone just commented not to even shave prior to surgery (infection risk). So would a peel be an infection risk? I've never had one before. Hoping for a medium grade peel. Should I wait Til after surgery? But often times, being on antibiotics makes it so you can't get these type of cosmetic procedures. What do you all think? Should I wait? If so how long?

Oops. Lol, I'm sure u can have more than 15 seeds! That's alot less than the nuts themselves. That's funny. Ask ur doc !

Ok i just googled it. 1/2 cup Sunflower seeds and peanuts both have 8 grams Almonds have 7 The rest are less

That's a good question, I know that RAW almonds are super healthy. They're all so delicious and high in protein.

Amazing! Same surgery... Polor opposite protocol. Best wishes and enjoy your 15 nuts :-)

Oh I wonder if it's just the Mexico patients that get post op antibiotics???

Haha. Hopefully... I can edit my name post op... LESS of the Italian curves Wishing you well and sending you possitive energy!

Hhmm... Interesting skittlesjessie. Thnx

Gamergirl... You are going to bounce all the way back!

Good luck mellordi! Woo hoo! Keep us posted! :-)

You'll do great Kayla. Just tell the anesthesiologist if you're feeling nervous he can get you relaxed quickly!

Awesome! Enjoy your vacation paradise with fresh fish and your weight loss journey! How much have you and he lost so far?

Lol, no u don't need to remove it. I'm just super hungry right now (day three, only protein shakes, lettuce and chicken) so I'm thinking those 15 nuts look delicious. Lol. So strange... Everyone's diets are soooo different. My BMI is 35 and I'm realizing, our pre op diets must be based on many factors. I think it was gamer girl who said that her and her hunny both used the same doc and had the same BMi but were on different pre op diets. My three days before surgery are CLEAR liquid only. That outta be fun :-/

Lol... Mindijean...put that menu of yours away! That's making me hungry. Most of us don't really get FOOD per say. May I ask... What is your BMI ?

Belloni45.... How much water are you drinking? I'm peein like a racehorse. But I drink 70-90 0z per day. Keeps me full and I want to pre hydrate before surgery.

3 days before surgery, I'm supposed to ONLY have clear liquids. My surgery will be in Mexico and there aren't alot of details on this portion of the diet. I figured I do two ISOPURE or NEW WEIGH, which will give me 80 grams of protein and around 320 cals. But what would I drink to get the rest of calories without loading up on sugar, like fruit juice? Any ideas? Did you all have a similar diet plan? Any suggestions are greatly apreciated :-)

I sure hope more ppl come across this thread and POST! I'm still pre op but will definetley be doing my wish list of nips and tucks and researching Docs. No idea. Where to start... Would love to hear some recommendations!

Haven't had my surgery yet. On day 3 of pre op diet. Surgery is Nov. 1st. Driving 9 hours to TJ on Halloween. When is your surgery with Dr. V ? Who's your coordinator? Mines Christy. Love her !

Hey Shea, Can u pls post a pic of the nutritional facts on that? Thanks

Hhmm good question. I guess the consensus is NOT to shave so u don't in tease risk of infection. Good to know. I probably would have run a razor of my legs the night before. Now I won't. Good luck.

Oh my gosh, I get that way before any surgery I've ever had. When I had my carpal tunnel surgery, I started to panic, so I quickly advised the anesthesiologist that he better "put me under" NOW before I chicken out. So glad I went ahead and did it. You'll do great. We're all sending you possitive energy... Best wishes! You got this!

Omg those clear flavored broths look delicious! Great find! Yum. Beats the heck out of reg broth which I loath! Thanks for sharing!
