Surgery went very well. I found out I also had a hiatal hernia that was repaired at same time. I have never been able to use sugar free anything so as soon as I was started on sugar free Jello I started having stomach pain. It took me about 24 hours to realize what the problem was. I talked the nurse into letting me eat regular jello. Within 6 hours the stomach pain was gone. My doctor didn't seem to believe me and wasn't happy that I had been eating regular jello, but I'm the one suffering so I did it on my own. I experienced the same pain when I began my 2 week liquid diet with Carnation Instant Breakfast. It took me 2 days to realize what was causing my new stomach pain. I'm sure I won't loose as much or as fast but I can't handle the pain. I had to stay 2 nights because I wasn't able to get down as much liquid as they required. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend. We're just kicking back at the house watching movies & taking walks daily.

My surgery is tomorrow! I'm so nervous. All the laundry is done. Clean sheets on the bed, bathroom rugs in washer. LOL...I have the nesting urge like I did before the girls were born. This nervousness is making me want to eat any and everything but I'm able to control it knowing it's just nerves. Pray for me please!

I've got my sheets in the dryer now. They gave me a special body wash to use tonight and tomorrow morning and said to sleep on clean sheets tonight. All the laundry is done. Washing the bathroom rugs now. Funny how you get the nesting urge. At least I don't have to buy a lot of groceries! Tonight I'm going to my grandson's first football game of the season. I'm hoping it will help the nervousness. I took all my measurements and will take a picture tonight at game. I'm stocked up on yogurt, pudding and Protein drinks. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. Surgery at 7:30. The Dr gave me a patch to put behind my ear to help with nausea after surgery. I've never heard of this but it makes sense. I'm to put it on tonight. That way it will be in my system when i get out of surgery.

I put my foot in my mouth once telling a coworker how great she looked, how much weight had she lost, etc. Come to find out she had cancer. She had lost weight due to the chemo/radiation therapy. I felt so bad but she had a good sense of humor and said it was the worst way to lose it but was a good outcome. Now I just say how good everyone looks.. they can volunteer the weight loss secret if they are so inclined! LOL Lesson learned the hard way.

I'm having surgery tomorrow! I'm so nervous. I've had several surgeries but never by choice. This is so scary. I'm worried I won't be able to stay on the liquid diet. That's really my only worry.

I'm excited to follow you and your progress. We're almost the same height and weight. I am however, a LOT older! My surgery is scheduled for 9-2-15, only 11 days away!

I'm glad I found this site. My surgery is scheduled for 9-2-15. This is only day 2 of liquid diet and I have a killer of a headache. Hopefully tomorrow it will be better. This is an exciting time. Good luck to everyone.

I just found out I was approved by my insurance on Tuesday. So, started the liquid diet Thursday since Wednesday was my 60th birthday. This is day 2 of liquids only and I have a killer headache. I'm sure it's just detoxing but it hurts! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. My surgery date is 9-2-15.
