My VSG surgery is in 17 days. I'll start the liquid diet in just three days for the two weeks prior to surgery... any suggestions or words of advice? I know these next two weeks are going to be hard so any advice or words of how you powered through will be so helpful.

I'd take the time to review the diet plans you have from your surgeon. Figure out what "tastes good" to you... I stocked up on sugar-free popsicles, chicken, beef & vegetable broths, etc. If you can, get a sampler of Protein drink flavors and find one that will work for you.

Those are the things I wish I would have done going into my clear liquid diet phase. I thought I had plenty of time to get that done, but they ended up moving my surgery forward and I was caught off-guard.

Good luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
