I have a question - I am scheduled for surgery on Tuesday - I thought we had to begin washing our bellies with a special soap or something a couple nights before. Is this true? Just wondering as my doc didnt provide me anything and wondered if I should head to the store. Any insight is helpful -
My doc said 1.5 hrs - getting sleeved on Tuesday - it's definitely coming fast!

That's reassuring - thanks!

Survival skills for the 14 day pre-op diet
thinnatater replied to Italiancurves's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I day two of my 7 day preop w liquid only - shakes n clear liquids , broth n jello. It's been easier than anticipated but finding shakes you like are good and things to mix in make them better. I made a choc shake tonight and added a little peanut butter - yum! I have been a little more tired than usual but sleeping is helping to avoid cravings so count me in for a few zzzzz's. -

You look fantastic! I appreciate you sharing and keeping me positive about the decision I have made to change my life! May I ask how old you are? What kind of excercise you do? I ask because u look great and I hope to have similar results. -
Wow! I knew unhealthy - but my kids will never have chkn nuggets or anything from McDonald's again! The liver enzyme stuff scares me too knowing I have non alcoholic fatty liver disease - I'm sure bc I enjoyed too much McDonald's over the years! Surgery can't come soon enough!
