I'm on the 25th too. I started my diet on Monday and prior to that I lost 10 pounds by watching my portion sizes. My Doctor is Dr. Jessee at Palms of Pasadena in Tampa. Where are you at?

I am in Indianapolis. Going to Dr. Clark at St. Francis.

I went today for my nut class. I have to start liquids on Sunday. Surgery time is 1:30 pm. The full liquid isn't as bad as I thought. Going shopping Saturday to get my Greek your. Was surprised that you can eat oatmeal. Have to have less than 10 grams of sugar per serving. Also bought peach wey protien to mix with soy milk. We can do this

So my surgery went well yesterday.... Still in the hospital resting.. My tummy is pretty sore and extremely swollen. Walking around has been pretty easy, the worst part is trying to sit down or get back up.... Luckily the hospital beds make it easier to lift you up. I have not administered pain medicine very often and they turned my auto med thing off so if I need pain meds they will brig them to me. I did take a shower on my own.. It's just a little difficult getting dressed without any assistance. Good luck to everyone else doing their surgery... Remember don't over drink your liquids cause you will feel miserable.

I guess I can jump in here. My surgery is on the 25th' date=' so I have two weeks to go! I finished all my pre-op testing yesterday and started the pre-op diet today. I am mostly excited, but would be lying if I said I had zero nerves.

Congrats to all who have made it to the other side so far this month! I will be there soon![/quote']

Well, I am sitting here in my hospital room at Mi Doctor just waiting patiently for the surgery.....NOT! I guess Dr. Ponce is coming here at 3pm and I will be the last surgery, arghh. Everything has been great up to now, just hard to pass these last few minutes, hours, ? The nurses were unable to get an IV in me because my veins are small, so waiting for MD to o it. On a good note, the scale here weighed me 9 pounds under what the hotel scale said this morning! Hmmmm, I guess I dropped a lot of weight on the 3 days of liquids only. So....I now weigh 243 lbs, hurray. Wish me luck and say a prayer. Thanks!
