Hi Pink,

I am starting to get nervous, but my husband is having surgery next week so that is distracting me for the moment. Where are you from/having your surgery? I am having mine in Boston and I am hoping to lose about 150 lbs. :)

Hi! I'm new to the forums but my date is Aug 28th too. I'm really nervous but excited too. I need to lose about 120-130 lbs but I am fortunate to not have any current co-morbidities. Any one else have small children? I have a 12 yr old boy, and two girls, 6 and 5. My son is pretty worried about the surgery and although I know all the risks obesity has I can only tell him so much without making him worry about his grandparents who are also obese. So, I'm trying to help him understand why I'm making this choice for myself, and pray that he understands.

I start my pre-op diet on this upcoming Wednesday. Two shakes a day plus one small high Protein, low carb meal. No Snacks. I think I'll do ok with that, my biggest challenge will be stopping coffee. I love it! I am most looking forward to being able to buy cute underwear. I hate plus size grannie pannies and ugly bras that have straps the size of curtains!

I'd love to hear some others fears, goals, pre-op requirements...etc.

I do have children. My 16 year old doesn't want me to have the surgery at all. She doesn't understand why i am doing it. Then i have two boys ages 8 and 6. I haven't told them much yet as things are suddenly way up in the air. My surgeon wants me to change my date and have a different surgery that i may need done first. Waiting to have another test done next week then the decision will be made on when to get the vsg

you sound like me! I cannot wait to go to Victoria and find out what her freaking Secret is!!! I have to follow the same pre-op diet, but can have a no/low carb snack...I love yogurt so that's what I'm planning. I'm in MD...I can't wait to get off of my insulin, BP and cholesterol meds...I hate that my 8 year old niece has seen me inject myself!

I'm getting really nervous! Im filling out my advanced directive forms and such. I've needed to do it for a long time but right now, with the pending surgery, its making me face all my worst fears.

My pre-op testing is tomorrow and I feel like there is so much I wanted to prepare before this weekend. My last weekend before surgery!

How's everyone else? Nervous? How are you doing on the pre-op diet? I'm trying but like most diets in my life, if I know I could cheat, I do, just a bit. Makes me disappointed in myself. Can't wait till I physically can't!

      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.
