Topic: RE: going out
Karen,
I don't know about VSG but RNY's have about a 2 ounce pouch which is about the size of an egg. There is a Surgery Board for each of the types of surgery. I am sure the VSG board will be able to answer you question.

Soft Drinks that are carbonated or contain sugar are a no-no forever for RNY. You can drin**** tea and sip on it or for that matter what ever your surgery allows. Also you can call your nutritionist and ask him/her how to manage going out.

You can find the surgery board by clicking on Forums, click on Surgical Forums and pick your surgery type.

With the VGB, can you drink soda?  I am not a big soda person, but my favorite beverage is club soda with lime!  I am sad about not being able to have that anymore... but when I go out, I will be the H2O girl!

Topic: RE: What Kind of Pre-op Diet Will You Be On?

Well, I didn't get any chance to do any pre-op Diet. The Dr's office informed me about the surgery date 5 days before. also I was fasting for Lent. when I saw the surgeon he told me try not to gain more weight. he didn't say I have to lose weight. and now it's easter and i can't resist not to eat meat after a month of fasting.

Topic: RE: April 7th is almost here!
Hi, i'll have my surgery on April 7th as well.... I'm so scared though. My mother in law and my sister in law did it 3 years ago... and they keep telling me it's like a walk in the park.

hope we all have a quick and smooth recovery. amd ofcourse loose all the excess weight :)))
