Hello there

Hi everyone I a newbie and my wls in 4/30.  I am super excited but very nervous.  I have been of a two liquid protein diet and it is so hard.  I have been drinking glucerna but I still feel to chew something.  My dr. said it was okay to have a salad early in the day.  Well I hope to meet some friends who have had the surgery or waiting so feel free to comment. I much need the support.

 Congrats and welcome,
I still kinda new, my surgery is May 7Th .
I'm on the drink too, I find it had to get the water in, just tried some Crystal Light today.
It seem to help, I cant eat so a salad sounds real good to me. I don't know but for the chewing ask if your allowed gum. Congrats again to the start of a new journey.

You can do it! I start my liquid diet Wednesday.

Hello! and welcome!

I just had VSG 4/29 and this will be a walk in the park once you get past this if you feel like chewing nibble on some ice chips.

Welcome and keep posting when you have question or concerns don't hestiate to use OH as a tool learn as much as you can. We are all here for support so feel free to post.

Welcome and congrats.  Wls will change your life.  It will also force you to deal with the issues surgery can't fix like what's going on spritually and emotionally that lead you to obesity. 

Ask all the questions yu need.  Ans remember, we are not just about wls and improving our health.  We can post just for fun too.   

Congrats and welcome to the BAFam!  During my 2 week diet phase pre-op, I had the need to chew also, and the gum really helped.  Also eating a salad (with the non-fattening stuff) filled the void.

I wish you well on your wl journey.  Keep us posted.

Welcome!!! The fact that your surgeon allows salads is awesome, I really wanted to chew during my liquid diet but I had to settle for ice. Good luck Monday!
