Sunrise07214 57 Posted June 3, 2014 Can't believe I am less than a week away from surgery! I'm so excited and so nervous. I'm down 30 lbs and am still losing. Its so crazy that I started this Journey 9 months ago and felt as it was going to be FOREVER before my surgery and it is finally almost HERE! It's so surreal. 7 BeagleLover, ChristmasJanet, knitlil09 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope this week goes by fast for you. I am super excited. The only thing I am nervous about is failing or not losing enough weight in the long run. I've been in the pre-op diet since May 12th. It's been really hard, not bad when I'm home, but when I go to work there is temptation everywhere. Congrats to you too! Let me know how things go! 1 ChristmasJanet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizjim30 11 Posted June 4, 2014 Wow! Since may the 12th? That's a long diet? I've been dieting since January however the liquid diet is something else. The diet is ok at work, around 2:00 it gets rough that's when I crave a snack. I really miss my Snacks and crunchy things. Are you drinking Protein Shakes as well? 1 ChristmasJanet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daw3378 93 Posted June 4, 2014 I'm with you less than a week here too, I think we are both on June 9. I'm so ready 1 ChristmasJanet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunrise07214 57 Posted June 4, 2014 Had to be on the liquid diet for 28 days. It's been awful. I'm only allowed 5-6 dehydrated meals a day. They are like Medifast. Very high Protein, very low carbs and sugars. About 500 calories a day. I have things like chili, eggs, pancakes, pudding etc. I miss salty and savory things the most because all the "savory things" I can eat are just awful that I'd rather not even eat. 1 ChristmasJanet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daw3378 93 Posted June 4, 2014 I have to be there at 8am. I wish, my surgery isn't until 2:45 so i have to be there at 12:30 that's going to be a long day. Are you treating yourself to anything presurgery? I'm giving myself a new hair do and a pedicure... 1 ChristmasJanet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunrise07214 57 Posted June 4, 2014 I'm actually at the hair dresser now getting colored and styled. Wish I could get a pedicure but gotta save the monies for while I'm off work. 1 ChristmasJanet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunrise07214 57 Posted June 4, 2014 I've been trying to save but it has been hard because I was off of work for almost 2 months in january and February. Bleh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizjim30 11 Posted June 4, 2014 How's it going today?? My diet has been ok today, I am thinking of drinking some Protein shakes tomorrow. I've been drinking nothing but broth, I am ready for something different. How are you feeling today? 1 ChristmasJanet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knitlil09 91 Posted June 4, 2014 My surgery is the 9th as well. I'm on 2 Protein shakes and 1 small meal of lean Protein and veggies. I am thinking of skipping the meal tonight though and just doing another shake because my final preop appt is tomorrow and I'll be weighed again . Looking forward to getting my surgery time though tomorrow. I really hope it's early because I don't want to sit around all day worrying and not being able to drink anything. 1 ChristmasJanet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
