Counting the minutes at this point! Did some shopping last night for those Thermacare heat pads in case I still have gas pain on the plane (flying to/from MX from the east coast) and a few other tidbits. I bought a front close, no wire bra but it's ridiculously uncomfortable (44DDD) so it's going back. I'll just be uncomfortable in my underwire bras, thanks.

How cool that there are so many of us on 7/1!! This pre-op diet has been kicking my butt. I will confess that the sweet everything was getting to me and I caved and ate a couple of dill pickles. Weird, I know, but I needed something NOT sweet. I probably should've just poured myself another cup of broth. Still, I'm down 8 pounds so far and TOM is approaching so I think I'm doing okay.

Good luck to everyone. Let's keep each other posted and support each other through recovery.

My surgery date is July 1st. My pre-op is the day before my surgery. I will admit I'm getting pretty anxious. Just this past Monday I found that I have Protein s deficiency. Thursday they placed an IVC filter. Talk about cutting it close. I am just taking it easy... Wishing someone would "invent" a new clear liquid. I am in north ga.

Hello. I am also scheduled for VSG on July 1st. I'm in the middle of pre op diet and wow is it a challenge. I'm finding it so incredibly hard....but only a few days left right. I am nervous but I thinking about food so much on this pre op diet that I think that has quelled some of my nervousness. Anyway. I'm glad to find this group of us. Looking forword to going through the journey with all of you.

Well 2 more days!!! The first few days of liquid diet were rough but then the hunger went away however yesterday and today my stomach is growling a lot....its getting embarrassing! Is anyone else experienceing this? Also on Thursday I changed from vanilla to chocolate Baritric Advantage.

Yesss the pre-op diet is hard!! I have experienced the growling stomach but also I have been snappy with my husband and today I have a headache that I am thinking is caffeine withdrawal. I try to keep looking to the future realizing it will get better but sometimes that doesn't help much and my surgery is not until the 8th so I have a bit to go. It is nice to have others to share with because as loving and supportive as my husband, mom and friends are they have no idea how much I am struggling at times. Hang in there!!

I'm 2 weeks away from my surgery and my doctor has yet to put me on liquid diet
