pink grace 31 Posted October 1, 2012 Hey' date=' I'm in Maideahead, Berkshire it's near Windsor. How have you got in with your pre-diet? I tried mine today, it was hard sticking to 800 cals. How much have you lost so far, I have around 220 lbs of lard to lose, how about you? KR Mary :-)[/quote'] Hi Mary, I am into my 8th day on 800 Cal's, it does get easier after about 3 or 4 days. I am eating lots of salad or veggies to fill me up. I could have chewed my own fingers on the second night, best wishes, :-) Janet 1 maryd1xon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryd1xon 1 Posted October 2, 2012 Morning Ladies, Day two of pre-diet, it has to be better than day one! - feel more organised today for some reason. Well done to you both, you've nearly made it, its all good. I would imagine the scare factor goes up as the day gets closer, a day nearer your dream to be fit and healthy. I have read in a few places that the - pre-diet is worse than the surgery? LOL Have a lovely day. mary xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LucyVsg2012 0 Posted October 4, 2012 Hi there! I had my VSG surgery done on the 26th September so I'm currently 1 week and one day post op. Good luck and don't be nervous. Think of your surgery day as the first day of your new life. I'm on the 2 weeks post op liquid diet at the moment and have lost a stone in just over 2 weeks (liver shrinkage diet + 1 week of liquids)! Best of luck xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
