I was FINALLY approved for my VSG on February 10th.  My surgery date is March 12th.  I can't believe it!!!  I've been working towards this since 2009 and finally got everything taken care of - all the Dr.'s paperwork submitted, 6 month diet out of the way, labs, etc. etc. etc.  I was actually really surprised that I was accepted the first time around.  My BMI right now is only 37, but I guess with my few co-morbidities, it helped. 

I'm really freaking out about what I can eat for the month afterwards.  I just want to know what to stock up on at the grocery store.  Actually, what to eat for the next few months (I'm going on a cruise to the Western Carribean in mid-May), so I just want to make sure that I am ready when the time comes and know if I need to take any special foods with me when I go.

My pre-op appointment is tomorrow afternoon.  I've got some questions written down, but I want to make sure I ask about everything that I need to know about, as the Dr.'s office is really hard to get ahold of at times.

I LOVE this website!  It has sooo much information and everyone is so helpful.  I've read so much information on here and studied up on everything so I know exactly what I'm getting myself into.  

Highest/Surgery Weight 230 Goal Weight 140 Current Weight 190
Starting BMI 36.6 Current BMI 28
My height is 5'7.

Thanks everyone! 

I'm really freaking out about what I can eat for the month afterwards.  I just want to know what to stock up on at the grocery store.  Actually, what to eat for the next few months (I'm going on a cruise to the Western Carribean in mid-May), so I just want to make sure that I am ready when the time comes and know if I need to take any special foods with me when I go.

Any suggestions?
