Thanks so much DanaMomto3 yeah this is not as easy as I hoped it would be. I know everyone says it's worth it, and I hope that will be the case for me. One day at a time I guess?

Hello everyone! Wanted to check in and let you know that everything went well with surgery yesterday. Right now I don't have too much pain and everything is going pretty smooth, I'm walking around and taking down my liquids easily. A few gas pain, but nothing intolerable. The worst pain I'm feeling is my throat, from the tubes they used during surgery. Let me know if you have any questions!

I know this is not an excuse and I shouldn't have done but I did. Hardcore. I was traveling on business my first three days of the preop diet and it was super hard to get out of the paid for lunches and dinners and what have you. I did pretty well on the first two days but the last day we went out to Ruth Kris Steakhouse and well, you can figure out the rest :/ is the preop diet a lost hope now ??? I'm jumping back into routine on day 4 and plan on fully sticking with the pre op, but really it was super hard with travel. #vent

Thanks everyone!! I'm actually going to be on a business trip the first three days :/ talk about hard lol but hopefully it will all work out.

Good luck Sarah !!! I'm right behind you, I begin my two week pre op tomorrow !

Awesome!!! Thanks for the reassurance everyone. I don't feel as guilty now, and I'm excited for the new change !!

Set a date for my surgery : March 3rd (yay!!!!) meaning my pre op diet starts on the 17th! How much trouble do you think I would get into with my doctor if I wanted to have some "food funerals" this week before I start my diet? I feel guilty :/

NO !!! I have spent two days trying to find a good one but I'm not liking any :/ any recommendations ?

yes of course!! :-) good luck with your journey !! I will definitely keep you updated on everything. I'm from Texas, 24 . I'm actually traveling to ATL in two weeks ! Whoop whoop!

you and I almost are in the same boat ! I get sleeved March 3rd :-)

thank you!! I sure will :-)

How exciting !! Good luck girl, I sure will ! I have an Instagram if you want to keep in contact it's lmdx0 :-)

Hi everyone!! My name is Lauren, I'm from San Antonio ! Woohoo. I started my journey in December 2013; HW: 230. I'm 5'2, 24 years old and currently Pre-Op, waiting to get sleeved at the end of this month/ early march. Looking for some sleeve buddies to follow each other's journeys. Instagram: LMDx0 I'll follow you back ! :-)

Both Are VERY attractive, but they are excellent :-)

Good to hear !!!! Keep me updated on your journey I'm sure you'll do great!

Update* My doctor actually does require a pre op diet, it's two Protein Shakes and one meal up until surgery. I have to start two weeks before !

I'm 5'2 still in pre op but my hw was 230, currently at 217. I should be having my surgery in less than a month so I will keep y'all posted!! best of luck everyone!

Will I be able to take my prescribed meds with vsg? I'm nervous because my adderall doesn't make me hungry, in combination with VSG I'm wondering how that works? Anyone have any advice on this subject?

Thanks so much!!! Is it harder for you to force down food being on adderall and having a smaller stomach? This is mostly what I'm concerned about.. :/

No, not yet :/ shooting for February .. The endoscopy and my take home sleep study are on the same day .. After that I should find out more, hopefully I'm getting impatient and very anxious lol

Getting sleeved by dr Duperier in February *fingers crossrd*

Thanks Sarah!!! Good advice .. I'm guessing just take off work that day lol just in case? keep me updated on your journey, I hope all goes well!!

I have my endoscopy on 2/27 .. It sounds scary how bad is it? Will I be out the whole day?

Thank you! I was super nervous about it, I'm just gonna tell him that I have an unexpected surgery coming up.. everything will be fine and that I'll need at least one week off for recovery? Hopefully that will be enough.

I was told to do a low carb diet from my nutritionist as well but no out of the ordinary diets :/ I'm wondering the same thing I guess? My surg date is hopefully next month
