gastric sleeve VSG is coming up real soon!

[Ruby Hernandez 106]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Ruby Hernandez. I am 18 years old and my VSG surgery is on May 13, 2019. It’s coming up so soon! I am becoming really frusturated with my 2-Week Pre-Op liquid diet. Tomorrow is Day 7 and I have already lost 9 lbs. I have not cheated at all throughout this whole diet and I would like to keep it that way. Any tips on how to avoid yourself from cheating? Thanks! 💜

Think about the potential complications of not adhering to the diet. That helped me a lot. And remember that after surgery you won't be hungry! You'll wonder why it was even hard to do the pre OP diet.

Thank you for the response, Vsho. Thinking about the potential complications has been the main reason why I’ve stayed strict on this diet. Also because I refuse to let food control me. Thanks, again!
