Just an FYI for anyone doing the liquid diet or getting ready to start with it.... I went to costco last night and got three of the 18 packs of the premier Protein shakes. They were on sale for 18.99, which equals roughly $1.05 a shake! They are pretty tasty and i like not having to mix the powder up. My nutritionist approved them because they are five carbs or less (theyre exactly five carbs) and 160 calories a shake. Just thought Id share in case anyone else wanted to try them out...the coupon ends on 8/28, they are normally 24.99 a pack at costco and about $7.50 for a 4 pack at Walmart.

Hi everyone! My surgery is set for September 7th. I will have to do a three week modified pre op diet due to having a milk allergy.

I understand I would feel that way too if it was September 1st. You will be fine. You have more than enough time to get over your nervousness. Where are you having your surgery at and what kind are you having?

I hope so... Pretty nervous, but am hoping for the best. Right now I am just trying to learn as much as I can.

You're not missing out on anything milk based. I don't know if I am lucky or maybe it's a bad thing. My surgeon only required a 3 day pre op diet. I guess that's why so many patients lose weight prior to surgery.

Hello Everyone, I guess I will be joining your group, My surgery was suppose to be in 4 days but it has been postponed. My surgeon wants me to be off my Ibuprofen for a month before surgery. What I don't get is why didn't he tell me this when I was in his office a month ago. Why wait till 4 days before surgery to tell me this. I'm really bummed. :(

Yeeesss me! I got approved for surgery so quick took like a month because I had several doctor records trying to lose weight since middle school and all failed so now I'm 25 and scared as crap bc my support group is small as well as my support team but I know that it's within myself where my support really relies on. But my surgery is September 20th 2016, yaaaay let's get it!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
