4Kimmy2 56 Posted September 8, 2012 I'm new to here and i'm so excited that i've got my surgery date of Sept 26th at 8am!! I did my blood work and chest x-ray yesterday. Monday I see the dietician to get everything set for the week of my liquid diet . I first started this journey by going to a seminar on May 14th and can't believe my surgery day is almost here. Of course I researched about the surgery for about 2 years before so its been a long road with a light at the tunnel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momof6 35 Posted September 8, 2012 Surgery Monday af 930am...very nervous about if i did my week long liquid diet correctly..... Everything i ate was (with the help of my "Ninja", was smooth and watery like instant potatoes) broth and Protein shakes.. No solids or soda at all... But just to be on the safe side, i am doing Clear Liquids Saturday and Sunday.. Excited and nervous, i am so happy that my husband and kiddos are so supportive.. 4 juditha, cholosladii09, goddessblaze and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monday I see the dietician to get everything set for the week of my liquid diet . I first started this journey by going to a seminar on May 14th and can't believe my surgery day is almost here. Of course I researched about the surgery for about 2 years before so its been a long road with a light at the tunnel Welcome Kimmy you are the day after me we will be recovering together! I will add you to our list Lexi so glad you made it through! I was one of those people that put off the WLS for years because of my diet pepsi addiction! Then my know it all (always right to ) daughter made me quit soda 2 years ago. I was having god awful pains in my legs that no doctor could figure out why. 2 weeks after i stopped drinking any soda and replaced it with Water those pains went away and they only come back if I drink a diet pepsi more then 2 in a week. so I usually just dont drink any soda at all. thats one hurdle I already crossed in this new way of life. now for caffeine!
