Hello all! I'm scheduled for a VSG on 10/21 in Celebration FL. I just started my 2 week preop liquid diet. I was due to start 10/7 but hurricane Matthew threw a wrench in that so today was my first day. My only anxiety with the preop diet is that my birthday is on Tuesday and I have no idea how I'm going to get a candle to stand still in my shake ! It hasn't been terrible but knowing I have to stay away from all food is rough especially when we decided to go out to eat while wandering around. I did good and only had the small salad I'm allowed. I hope this gets easier . I could use any and all moral support I can get!

You're really really close now. Stay the course. You got this. Can you have sugar free Jello? If so put your candle in that. Happy Birthday and congrats on all the hard work you've already done.

No no Jello ???? just Protein shakes...and a small salad...I'm just glad I get to chew on something once a day ????. I figure one crappy birthday in exchange for 365 wonderful days a year is a good trade right?

Having surgery on 10/17. I'm in the same boat. Had to cook for my husbands birthday and was surrounded by food. I'm just trying to keep busy. Good luck with everything!

Hey all! Well I was sleeved 10/21 even though I hoped for the best I expected the worst in terms of pain and all I've really delta with was the nausea from the anesthesia. I've been home since Saturday and the large incision feels tender but not painful. Yesterday I could barely get 30 oz of Water down but today has been better. I got 1 1/2 premier shakes down and 42oz of water..it's a struggle but I'm pushing through! How r u guys doing?
