Thank you!

Today's the DAY!!! I'm currently waiting in the parking deck for my mom so that we can go in. Surgery is at 10:00am!!!!

Thank everyone that makes since. Now to get the house ready for surgery on Thursday

I'm starting to get really nervous. I've been on the liver shrink for for a month now and I only lost 13 pounds... Will this be enough, will my surgery be canceled... Ugh I wish I knew what my liver was so I would stop stressing. Seriously telling the surgeon that if the lovers to big to just open me up. I only get one shot and I'm terrified my liver hasn't shrunk.

Goo luck to everyone having surgery this week. I had my pre op admission today and weighed in at 398. So that is a total of 13 pounds so far. Surgery is Thursday!!! I'm so excited yet nervous. I need to get laundry done, clean the house, and pack a hospital bag!!

I got my first ever box of goodies from Rhonda!! I forget her screen name I'm sorry. But Im getting ready for surgery on Thursday and Rhonda did a great job getting me a puzzle book and pens for the hospital, teas, samples of Protein shakes, and new cup an containers! I'm so thankful I signed up for this it brightened my day getting a package!

Can't believe surgery is in SEVEN days. I'm so excited! I've been reading everyone's post op experiences and I feel prepared but I'm sure once I'm in y'all's shoes ill get all out of whack again. But I have y'all and a great support team so I'm ready for this. SEVEN MORE DAYS!!

I've lost about 8-10 pounds. My nutritionist said to stick to the diet and I will be fine not to worry.

Well I have 10 days left Til surgery and I am sooooo worried that my liver will be to large to have the surgery. I've been on this liver shrink diet three weeks but I have messed up a few times like last night I ate chips and salsa at the Mexican restaurant and last week I had low sugar ice cream every night and I've had sandwiches for lunch instead of salad for a few days.. I have messed up so bad the last week and I'm nervous my liver won't be small enough. :-(

I'm so proud of everyone who is in the loser bench. I hope you all have speedy recoveries. Today I went for my last group appointment to get prescriptions and such. So excited now. Only thing that's between me and the surgery is 14 days, pre administration appt at the hospital! Can't wait for the 20th.

Wow great job!!! This gives me motivation.

Wow great job!!! This gives me motivation.

So as of today I have been on a liver shrink diet since May 20. I was only suppose to be on it two weeks but when they switched my surgery, surgeon, and date I have to do it even longer. This week I found out I lost 10lbs and I did really well but the last two days for whatever reason I've blown my diet way out. Both days I've wen over about 500 calories... I've got to get back on track and keep losing this weight. Meeting my surgeon tomorrow. Two more weeks of this diet. Craving more then chicken and shakes.

AHHH I went an paid for my surgery, signed my paper work and made my pre op appointments and weighed.. Since May 20 I've lost TEN POUNDS on the liver shrink diet!!!!

That's awesome!!! I'm 395 so I'll be very happy at 200lbs. There is a lady that goes to my center and she was size 26 jeans and now a ZERO.. It's so crazy.

Thanks!!!
