Anyone else scheduled for August 10th or around that time? I would love to meet up with some fellow VSG patients!

How is everyone's pre-op diets going? I am on day 5 of the liquid pre-op diet and I accidentally cheated yesterday! Oops! Out of habit, I grabbed a yogurt from the fridge like I would normally do for breakfast and had eaten almost half of it before I remembered that I'm on a diet and that I shouldn't have it! Felt super guilty and started panicking, wondering if I had just ruined my diet and surgery by eating that little bit of yogurt. Then I realized that a few bites of yogurt wasn't going to completely derail my diet and surgery. Pulled myself together, grabbed a protein shake and got back on track! I'm now more determined than ever to follow the pre-op diet to a T to ensure my surgery goes as smoothly as possible!

If anyone is interested in connecting to talk about all things VSG related, feel free to email me at emmylouwentler@hotmail.com

Good luck to all!

Anyone else struggling to adhere to the low carb pre-op diet? I've got about a week left before I start the pre-op liquid diet and I'm really struggling with the cravings. It's not that I feel hungry, just that I'm so accustomed to eating tons of carbs that I'm having a hard time staying away from them. Makes me worry about how I'll be able to follow the pre-op liquid diet for two weeks.

You should have received an email containing all the information you will need to prepare for you surgery. Included is a link to where you can make your deposit payment. If you don't see the email in your inbox, check your junk email folder because it might have been tagged as junk (that's what happened to me). If you did not receive the email I would recommend emailing whichever patient coordinator you have been in contact with or call them at 1-866-376-7849. Hope this helps!

I'm both nervous and excited. Nervous about the two week pre-op liquid diet and how I'll be able to handle the hunger and cravings. But excited to start a new chapter in life and finally get healthy!
