December surgery buddies



Recommended Posts

Hello! I'm new to this forum and I'm super nervous and excited about my VSG journey. I started my journey on May 6th and yesterday I received a surgery date..December 8th.

Looking for some ideas on how to explain the procedure to my children. I'm open to any suggestions you guys may have.

Hi there, I'm new as well. My surgery is scheduled for December 22nd. I'm scared, nervous and excited. You'll have to keep us posted post surgery. I have my appointment with a dietitian tomorrow. Hope you find answers. I love this forum.

I didn't expect to feel this nervous, as I have been working towards this for a long time.

That's awesome! We'll have to keep each other encouraged.

Everyone is telling me to start taking pre-surgery photos now to document my progress afterwards. Not looking forward to that 😕

Me! 🙋‍♀️

Surgery scheduled for 12/6. Have to start my pre-op liquid diet on Thanksgiving. I guess I can sacrifice one holiday! Excited to finally move forward but sometimes reading some of these boards end up making me feel more nervous!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
