So excited/nervious that my surgery is tomorrow :)

I've been on the liquid protein diet since the 19th, and am doing the bowel cleanse today...  The liquid diet thing was the worst on days 4 & 5 (the weekend), and has definitely gotten easier.  I even managed to get through the wake, post-wake dinner, and post-funeral lunch for my husband's grandma, without going off the diet.  For the post-wake dinner, I did end up having slightly off-plan food (vegetable soup, but tried to eat just he broth and a side salad, with no dressing, just plain lettuce), but that should be ok :) 

I'm glad that I can work from home today during this wonderful bowel cleanse :)

Let us know how you're doing. I'm almost 2 months out from VSG and I love my sleeve! I was shocked at how good my recovery was. I hope it goes as well for you, too. Once you're past the lovely bowel cleanse things should get better.

Hope all went well.  Dr. Jones is doing my sleeve on May 19, but I am 90% sure I don't have to do the bowel cleanse- I better double check that...

Best wishes- can't wait to be in your shoes soon!

I'm glad you're home and that things went well for you. The gas thing is a real PAIN. but at least you know it will go away.

Do you ever check out the VSG forum here on OH? There's a wealth of info over there.

Keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.
