    Today is the day!

    Hello everyone. Surgery was a success! Minimal discomfort and I've been up walking. Thanks for the prayers

    Is this typical?

    You're doing great. After two weeks of liquids, I lost seven pounds. My nutritionist said its also to prepare me for post op. Surgery is tomorrow and my liver should be really small as I was 100% faithful. You got this!

    2 week liquid diet

    The liquid diet is a mental challenge. Im on my one day of clear liquids and I have not been hungry. I keep reminding myself that tomorrow is the beginning of my new journey. My family stopped by with chicken, sweets and everything else. It didn't bother me at all...I sat with them and drank my Protein20. My surgery is at 8:00 am tomorrow morning. Hang in there, its almost over.

  6. I'm doing two to three shakes, broth, jello and/or sugar free pudding with lots of water.

  9. You too@Sharonc67...check in and let me know how you're doing.
  10. Countdown has officially begun. House is in order and I have my clear liquids for Tuesday. I'm planning to pamper myself on Tuesday [emoji4][emoji6]
  11. I'm on day 8 of my pre op liquid diet and have followed it correctly. I've only lost 4.5 pounds. I've read where people lose 15-20 pounds. Should I be concerned?

  13. Thank you so much for the encouragement.
  14. Yes we do! [emoji119]🏾
  15. We're almost there. Today was the first time I struggled. I decided to grab a bottle of water and took a nice walk. I felt better afterwards. Good luck on Wednesday

    2 week liquid preop diet

    Im on day 10 of my liquid diet and I've lost 5.5 pounds. My nutritionist said not to worry as long as I'm following it correctly.

    Any April surgery buddies

    I definitely understand. My surgery is on the 25th and I'm on Day 10 of my pre-op diet. I have been faced with temptation almost every one of these past 10 days...chocolate/cookies/cake/doughnuts in the office; smelling McDonald's french fries, etc. I have been strong by focusing my attention on the outcome. I keep saying to myself "I'm almost there!" So far, it's worked for me. Wishing you the very best.
  23. Hey surgery twin! Yes, this weekend is my time to get my house "in order". I need to pick up my clear liquids for Tuesday and Thursday/Friday. I was concerned that I haven't lost a lot during my pre-op diet, but I've been reassured I'm on the right track! See you on the loser's bench
  24. Exactly....focus on more positive things and everything will work out. My surgery is only five days away. I'm anxious and excited. I'm doing this so that I can be around for my grand-daughter. It's because of her that I made this decision...carrying her one day had me breathing hard, my legs and back were hurting. I want to be healthy for her!
  25. I think its natural to be nervous. The only person who knows if you're making the right decision is YOU! You can do this and all of us will support you. Just think of the outcome [emoji4]
