Vsg scheduled for 10/5
Hello, I am less than a week from my surgery date. Pre-op nutrition is difficul. I have osteoarthitis and had to stop my meds yesterday. Struggling to get thru to Wednesday. Glad to have found this site. Good luck to everyone in their journey.
Welcome to the site! There is great support and information available here. You can use the little search icon in the upper right hand corner by your name to find numerous topics of interest. I know if you are hurting from osteo and doing your pre op it is tough. Take it easy on yourself and stay focused on your surgical goal. Im sure you have discussed how to manage your medical issues post op with your doctors. No ANSAIDs is difficult sometimes, but there are other medications for pain if indicated. Best of luck moving forward.

Thanks Lodie, I am strong and will get thru it. It's nice to have found this site. Just have to get thru 3 more days.
I hated the pre-op diet! Best of luck on your upcoming surgery!

I am afraid I will be a pre-op diet failure! Good luck with your surgery. Please let us know how you are doing.
Day six got easier on the pre-op. Keeping your eye on the prize is important. I can't wait ro be on the other side of surgery. Thank you and I will keep in touch.
Good luck tomorrow!
