Will be praying for y'all tomorrow.

True reality!! I'm so close - Wed.

Chell-- You will do just fine on liquids. The first couple of days are the hardest but once you get past them its really not that bad. I am on day 19 of 21 days of liquids. My surgery is Wed. the 11th. Just keep your eye on the prize ... liquids is a small price to pay for the reward. Kathy

Yay Carly!! Keep up the good work!!

I am,too!! April 11 for me so excited!! Down 10 lbs so far on liquid diet.

It depends on your surgeon's guidelines. Mine allows Slim Fast Low Carb. No fruity additives. I can also have SF jello, SF popcicles & clear broths. I am on day 14 of 20.

Iwantobethin-- great to hear from you

Courtney-- I am so glad you are doing so well. Thanks for the update.

Welcome Thyck747!! I am a day ahead of you.. April 11. Getting so close I can smell it now Kathy

Iwantobthin--- my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Kathy

Best of luck to you LadyIvy!! The 9th will be here before you know it. Please keep us posted. I am right behind you on the 11th. Kathy

Welcome njs!! Krissy and Mita... time is really flying by for me I am so anxious to get this over with. The countdown timer on my phone says: 5days, 23hrs,15min,14sec...LOL... I love getting all the recent surgery updates. Kathy

Good luck Snoho!! Let us hear from you as soon as you can. Kathy

Thanks for all the updates. Glad everyone is doing so well. 1 week to go for me

Good luck Courtney!! Will be praying for you.

I am having to do a 21 day liquid diet before surgery and there will be 2 weeks of more liquids post op. I am on day 12 pre op and honestly I couldn't care less if I never ate anything else again. Food doesn't even interest me anymore (I'm sure this will change.) Like Lissa.. I am totally detoxed and really feel good. I did have a few days the first week of some slumps and no energy but that seems to have passed. Good luck on your journey and focus on the goal. No doubt I can do this now and so can you.

I am on scheduled on April 11 and on day 11 of 20 day liquid pre op diet. On Saturday my son was in a motorcylce accident and severely broke his leg in several places. For the first time in my life I did not reach for something to eat!! I grabbed my bottles of Isopure and flavored waters and to the hospital I went. And... you know what?? I survived and it wasn't even hard. I made up my mind last fall when I began this journey that I am going to eat to live from now on. I ate too well ( anything and everything I wanted plus lots more) for 54 years. It was time to change and by golly I have!! Just had to tell someone that would understand. Kathy

Thanks Blackberryjuice!! I am proud of myself! I can & will do this! Gabe (son) is doing better than expected this evening. Just wanting his surgery on Thurs to be over with.

So proud of you!! This is a great place for support. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Good luck on your journey.

Cinda... thank you so much!! I knew you would understand Gabe has a long recovery ahead of him. The accident broke the ball off the top of the tibia ( big bone in leg) and it is just flopping. It also broke the tibia in several places and shattered up through his knee cap. They can't do surgery on it until Thursday so some of the swelling can go down. He is in unbearable pain. Lilu--- Congrats on getting your date moved up!! Thank you for your sweet post. I apprecitate it so much. Good luck to you also and keep me posted on your journey. Kathy

Mita ---we will be just fine!!

Krissy and Mita... we are down to 11 days... wooo hooo!!!! Come on April 11

My date is 4/11!! Congrats on your date! Kathy

Snoho -- congrats!! What a wonderful surprise!!

I am doing pretty well on the 2 week preop liquid diet. I have had a headache as well. My nerves are still good. Hard to beieve surgery is 2 weeks from tomorrow. I put a countdown app on my phone. LOL That makes it real to me.
