New and Wondering

Hi Everyone,  I am in the process of my post op appointments for VSG.  I know two people who have had the procedure and they have helped so much but i was wondering what others are saying about it.  I understand all the pro's and con's but was wondering what recommendations anyone else has or helpful hints.  My doctor told me if i lose 5-10 lbs by my next appointment he will book my surgery, so i am very excited about that and i am on a mission! lol.  I am 27 years old and really want this because i have always been overweight my whole life.  I recently had a daughter 9 months ago and i want to be healthy for her.  I want to be able to go on slides with her at the park, go to amusement parks and not be embarresed.  I just realy want this and cannot wait! Any helpful tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Marciaki, the same here. Im new to this entire process. I pray that all goes well for you. I'm still trying to learn about the pro's and con's as well. I'm sure we will both make it!

Congratulations on taking one of the most important steps to improve your health and life!   If you haven't already found it, you may want to visit the VSG-specific forum on here.   If you x-post this topic you may get a lot more responses too.   

Best of luck to you! 

I was in the same situation before my surgery( I am now 1 week post-op). I had 10 lbs to loose and was able to get rid of 5 on my own(I had two weeks to loose it all), I panicked  and went out and bought the 48 hour Hollywood diet. It is about $14.00 for a two day supply and you mix it with water and drink it 4 times a day. The taste was pretty good and I didn't get all weak and shaky. It isn't the best way to do it, but it helped me get rid of the other 5 lbs so I could have my surgery. Its not a bad way to jumpstart a diet or detox, but I wouldn't do it if I didn't have to. Good luck
