KBoddu 14 Posted December 17, 2012 My doctor is sick and cancelled all of his surgeries today. SO frustrated, but it just must not be meant to be for me to have it. Oh well! Life goes on and I will try to do MFP again. Good luck everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyLeigh2012 76 Posted December 17, 2012 Im on day 3 of preop diet and I havent ate my arm, the dog, or my youngest child. Don't get nervous or doubt your self. You never know your strength until your tested. Mind over matter. you can do this. Attitude is everything. I was nervous about the pre-op, too ... I actually pushed myself and started it earlier then when my doc wanted me to because I was afraid of messing up! I used the first week of pre-op to test out diff. shakes and routines. If I learned anything, it is that I can do this ... that my focus is tight and that I have to trust my body is 'full' of nutrition, even when I wish it was 'full' of my favorite foods. Here I am now, 1 day left before surgery and I'm down 20 pounds! I don't know how typical that is or not, but pre-op went from being a fear and hesitation, to an accomplishment and motivation. 2 UntamedR and Angelizz10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike65 47 Posted December 17, 2012 LOL!!! Ok' date=' that kinda grossed me out and made me laugh all at the same time! Thanks for the giggle, Mike![/quote'] My nutritionist was dead serious when she told me about that. I do believe, however, in the interests of medical advancement, that there should be clinical trials concerning this. I would be willing to take one for the team.
