My VSG is scheduled sept 10. I have a one week liquid pre-op diet. I’m so excited but scared at the same time.

I'm excited and scared too. I talked to the surgeon yesterday and he said it was normal, and that he wasn't scared, but he was excited for me. I liked that. I'm glad he wasn't scared 🤣

what are you using for liquids other than shakes and Water? have you tried the Protein waters? I'm trying to find some sweetened with stevia not sucralose. Sucralose gives me a stomach ache, makes me pukey. Looking for suggestions!!

Everyone on here is doing so amazing. So glad I joined this group!

VSG Surgery September 13th in Portland Oregon Does anyone else have an iodine allergy? I cant seem to find many options as of shakes and Multivitamins that don't contain Iodine and that meet the low carb, low sugar, low fat requirements for post op diet, anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions would be great!

Try this one, it’s powder form and tasty like crystal lite, it uses Stevia.
