Hey guys. I'm going in on June 22nd. It seems like it's going to take forever to get here but I'm sure the time will fly. I start my two week low carb high Protein diet on the 8th. I've been incorporating some low carb meals for the past few weeks so I think I'll be in the right frame of mind by the time the 8th comes around.

I'm nervous but SOOOO excited about having this surgery. Glad to join all of the other June VSGers! :thumbup: Good luck to everybody with upcoming surgeries!

I'm having the surgery one week from today!! So excited, nervous, and scared. June 7th is my day with Dr Patel San Antonio. I've been on this website nonstop. Guess this will be my new addiction :thumbup:

Hi, I got a surgery date of June 15. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I am so looking forward to being able to move around better. I attempted to do a simple Yoga routine this morning and couldn't believe how stiff I was. Mostly I just ended up doing the stretches, which actually felt good. I have a desk job so way too much time sitting on my behind which has caused me to have lower back pain. Grrrrrr, I really hate being so heavy because everything hurts!

Good luck on your surgery, I hope all goes smoothly. Soon we will all be on the "other side"! :001_tt2:

I know how you feel sunnyinaz, i am only 33 and should not have this much joint pain, but when you have to carry around all this extra weight, it takes a toll on your body, i even have a foot spur...i mean that is mostly found in older ppl, but then also obese ppl too, so that would be my problem, i am hoping that i will help my joints a lot and i also have PCOS..hoping it will aleveate some of the symtoms as well...hard to lose weight because of it...good luck everyone, day 3 of my pre-op diet...surgery date...June 5th!!!

As I get closer to my June 9th date my emotions change from day to day...even hour to hour. It feel very unreal for me at this point and maybe that is why there is no fear at all about having some guy who I only met once or twice cut out a large part of my stomach. I think that is a little of it. But mostly I feel like I have educated myself by reading and talking to others who are on the other side of the process that I feel like I know what to really expect and, for the most part, how to deal with any issues that come up.

However, being self pay and having 4 kids and a limited income, I have been dealing with guilt over getting myself into more debt to pay for this surgery. On one hand this feel very selfish but on the other, I know it will improve my health and that will benefit everyone in my family.

Hurry up June 9th.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
