I'm August 19th. So glad I didn't have to do a liquid diet, then again I may have lost more than 18 pounds of I had. Either way I'm ready to rock.

My surgery date is set for August 19th. I am on day six of my pre-op clear liquid diet. There is a list somewhere on here of what you will need at the hospital. I found that interesting. There are definitely things on there I would have never thought of like chapstick and gasx. I will get everything ready for surgery this coming week and weekend. A friend of mine is driving two hours to stay at my home and take care of the kiddos while I am at the hospital (with the Mr.) and my church has put up a sign up sheet for meals for my family for the week after surgery (they don't all know what surgery, just that I am having surgery). I have been cleaning non stop for the last week to get the house ***** and span so I can come home to a relaxing environment (if that is even possible with a four year old and eight year old, lol!) How is everyone doing here?

hmmm. did it sensor me? That wasn't a swear word at all, lol. I just meant clean...

I know my surgery day is fast approaching...... I have gone through all the steps, doctors appointments, my pre-op diet, I just feel like it hasn't totally hit me as a reality. When I do think about this overwhelming anxiety comes to me. I know it's just the thought of surgery. I am, however, super excited about the outcome afterwards. I wish it was here and I was healing already. LOL I love this website. I have spent countless hours the past couple months reading over everyone's experiences, stories, concerns, questions. I just have to throw a big THANK YOU out there to everyone on this site and who take it seriously. I know I haven't posted to much but I have definitely read a whole lot, and it has helped me prepare for this so really thank you.

When is your surgery? I cannot believe mine is in 3 days! Feels like forever ago I started all of this and now it's finally here. I'm looking forward to the changes that are going to happen. I hope to be as successful as I can be and do things I've never done. Good luck to you

Hello All. Just started my liver shrink diet today. I saw my surgeon yesterday and was nervous. He was awesome. answered all of my questions and even drew a pic of my incision sites. I thought with the liver shrink diet I was only going to have Clear Liquids, Jello, SF pops. I am allowed to have salad(just salad) with FF dressing,1/2-1 cup of cooked non starchy veggies and small fruits as well. I also will have to drink 4 Protein Shakes and a frozen dinner entree for dinner. I am not too thrilled with the Entrees because I prefer to have fresh meals. I will call my surgeon's office today and see if it is okay for me to have a lean Protein and veggies instead.

I am so excited about my August 26th appt and it is coming fast. I hope all goes well with everyone and may you have great WL success.
