Less than a week!

[Sunrise07214 57]

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.

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!

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?

I'm with you less than a week here too, I think we are both on June 9. I'm so ready

[Sunrise07214 57]

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.

That's awesome Daw! Good luck to you and I hope everything goes well!

I hope everything goes great for you too, what time is your surgery?

[Sunrise07214 57]

I have to be there at 8am.

[daw3378 93]

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...

[Sunrise07214 57]

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.

[daw3378 93]

I've saved up for it. :-)

[Sunrise07214 57]

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!

[lizjim30 11]

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?

[knitlil09 91]

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.
