    Welcome Sheila! You are about to embark on an amazing journey. Be sure to take progress pictures now in a bathing suit or undergarments. Also take measurements. Then start taking them again every 2 weeks post op. Be sure to pose the same and have someone take the pics from the same distance. As your journey progresses you will love to have that side by side comparison. Use this time to read up. Ask any questions now so you can have as much information as you can. https://www.obesitycoverage.com/gast...erence-manual/

    I begin my liquid diet Nov 1. I have all my liquid purchased and I am ready...I think. Lol. Do you have the two week period diet or is your surgeon allowing shorter term? I have friends that only did a 5-day diet before their VSG.

    It is so exciting! I too kept a journal with my measurements and weight loss. So much fun. Now when I put the tape measure around how big my waist, arms, thighs, etc. used to be, it is mind blowing how my body could have even moved at that size.

    Also keep a journal to track your liquid and protein intake after surgery. I had a minimum to meet, and met it every day by sipping all day long.

    I did save one pair of pants for a few years, where I could put both legs in one. Finally I donated them too.

    Love the idea of keeping journal of my measurements. I am logging my food and water on Baritastic app. Has been super helpful and I am able to forward logs to my dietician. Thank you so much! Everyday I am more excited and a little nervous but know this is best option for me. Love this forum. Super helpful and encouraging. ❤️

    I have to do 2 weeks of protein type shakes 3 times a day! It will be fine, I'm all about it now :-)

    That's about what mine will be. Me too! So ready to get started. Keep me informed when you can on how you are doing and I will do the same. Best regards, my friend.
