I GOT MY SURGERY DATE 9/22/2009.
CAN'T WAIT.

Me too!  I'm getting the VSG.  SO excited and nervous and HUNGRY!

so are u on the liquid diet yet?i have 2 start on the 9th.

I'm having my surgery on the 22nd of September in Mexico. I'm so nervous but very ready to start this journey.
My pre-op diet says to start 7-14 days before surgery date. It is an all liquid diet. I'm not sure how they expect someone who can't control eating on her own to stick to this for two weeks. I'm always hungry, but I'm going to try my best. It's kinda like putting a pile of drugs in front of a drug addict and telling them not to touch them.

Hey all,


im having mine on the 22nd as well.  I start my liquids on the 8th.  i have to agree its going to very very hard.  but we have to use our strong will power we can do it we can do it    im so excited and a little scared at the same time.  i just want to get this behind me.  and look into the future the new me.  All pray and wish us all the best we will do great with a speedy recovery. 

My MD is letting me eat one small meal a day (lean cuisine or sm salad) plus lo carb shakes.  I'm getting about 600-700 calories a day.  It SUCKS.  I agree that it seems a little crazy to expect us with eating problems to just not eat for 2-3 weeks?  I know it is to get the fat off the liver and I keep reminding myself of that but in the 9 days of this diet I've cheated twice, yelled at my boss irrationally twice, cried, felt dizzy, and very spacy at work.
