Mine is August 2, day after tomorrow and I am so nervous (and excited). I only had to do 1 week pre-op diet. 2 shakes a day and 1 small meal. I am soooooo tired.

Cindy you are 10 lbs from your goal weight,awesome job!
Madi, hang in there! You got this.

Currently in the hospital today! Had my surgery at 1 pm yesterday. I've had to drink but it burns my tummy

Congrats!!
Ask for another pillow. I was able to rest comfortably with a pillow on my side.
For me the waiting to drink was the worst! I couldn't drink until my endo the day after surgery. My mouth was so dry and my throat was so sore. Once I could drink I felt so much better.
Welcome to the losers bench!

@@Hiraeth, My surgery is tomorrow. I am sooooo nervous, and excited, tired and hungry! I have a lot of family praying for me and my awesome hubby will be with me tomorrow so that helps a lot. When is your surgery?

I had to go off a month before and after! I'm on bio-identical which theoretically shouldn't be different that what your own body produces. It seemed to me unnecessary jarring of your system. I didn't get blood clots which I think is what they get nervous about (if you don't stop HRT) so that's good. If I had it to do over not sure I would have stopped. My cycle still isn't back to normal and I'm 9 months out.

You go girl!! I'm just ending my pre-op diet. I'm a shorty too! I noticed I am breathing better since I've lost 15lbs since I started with the POD. My doctor allowed me to have one small meal a day with two shakes so I didn't feel to bad. AND yes, the whole peeing every 30 mins is annoying! But as everyone else has said on here it's all means to an end. I'm really happy for you and I hope all goes well. Keep us posted!

It's been 5 days of this liquid diet and I have already lost 6 pounds!!! I'm pretty happy about that. Since I'm so short (almost 5'2'') I can't really see it; but I can definitely feel it! People who are vertically challenged, such as myself, don't usually start seeing a difference until 20-30 pounds lost, lol. XD

This diet has actually been pretty easy. I don't know if it's because I've dieted before, and that I knew what to expect; or if maybe I just got lucky. I really expected to feel miserable since I've seen so many people struggle with it. The only thing I can complain about is the amount of times I've peed. Last night, between 12 am - 5 am, I counted 19 times that I got up to pee. It's driving me crazy. @_@

I was so nervous last night I couldn't even 'eat' my last 'meal'.. I actually had to take a anti-nausea pill. They have actually moved may surgery up 2 hours for tomorrow. I got super excited and then seriously nervous again. I pray yours goes well!!

I am on 8/8 and super nervous as well. I'm nervous for the short term and excited for the long term. I'm ready to just get it over with at this point. Please let us know how it goes!!

Thank you! From your tickers it looks like you are doing great. I hope to have that kind of success.

Congratulations! Nerves are normal, so just keep thinking about all of the reasons you decided to have surgery. I felt like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!! The first days can get rough, but luckily it all improves rather quickly for most. The best bit of advice I ever got was to keep sipping fluids and walk walk walk! It will help your soreness to go away so much faster when you walk. I didn't even have pain on the ride home from the hospital, so it works! Also it helps keep your blood moving so you have less risk for blood clots. Stay positive and be patient with yourself. Best wishes, and keep posting to let us know how you are doing.

Started my liquid diet today.. 3 Protein shakes no solid foods

My is tomorrow, I like you TxSilverA, had the 1 week pre-op diet, same foods. I am very excited to get this going. Bit of nervous energy. Have to be at OSU at 10:15, surgery at 12:30. Yeah it finally time to start this chapter. Good luck to you all.
