Just ate my last supper before preop diet tomorrow. Makes it so real, it's freaking me out. Surgery day is thurs 10/3. I have 4 days of nothing but Clear Liquids. I'm scared of messing it up and ruining my surgery so I will be strong. My hubby is doing it with me believe it or not! Isn't he the best! Well see how long it lasts before we kill each other lol. So I just have to

cook for my 5 year old. I've noticed a lot of us our going this week so good luck to us all and best wishes for speedy recoveries!

Just be thankful you aren't me. I eat my last supper tonight and my surgery is 10/14 lol

Good lord woman! That's a long time. You are going to rock it though, no doubt

It's wonderful you have such a supportive husband, makes it easier to do this! I'm waiting for a date but will have a week liquid diet, dreading it already!

Keep us posted. It is the part that I am dreading because when I get hungry I get crabby! They have threatened at work to isolate me to my own floor. One day this will all be just a memory. Hang in there!

I worked with a woman who called that "hangry" hungry and angry. You will do fine when your pre-op time comes. Keep your eye on the prize. It is worth it.

These few days of the liquid diet really are the hardest. I am not telling you that to get you down, but to say that after this, things are easier. Right now, you will not feel restriction so it will stink to feel hungry and only be able to drink liquid but before you know it, you will have a tiny tummy that can only take so much. You just keep that end goal in sight, make sure that any food that could be used to tempt you is out of the house and DO NOT CHEAT!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it will be hard but you have got this!!! And before you know it, you will be done and rocking your sleeve.

My son actually made me a count down chart for my liquid diet phase. There were days that I was so sick of liquids but we would cross off the meals and rejoice in knowing that I was that much closer to being done. (Haha I do that with my running too now. As I run and pass up the mileage markers I dont think about how far I have gone, I always think about how much further I have to go....hmm, Maybe I need to think a little bit harder about that one! haha)

sleep well and thinking happy thoughts for you and your husband! His participation will mean soooo much during this time. Keep your eye on the prize!

Thank u for the positive thoughts! I just woke up and already hungry. I'm having some tea and trying not to smell the eggs my moms cooking in the other room. I CAN do this (is what I'll keep telling myself lol),
