I'm excited about the outcome, it's just the being put to sleep part I'm scared of as I've never been in hospital before )

[Ivanova8 77]

@@da50bear Good luck with Optifast! After the first 2-3 days I've found it to be pretty easy. Yes real food would be better but I like them.

misformimi- I am doing just fine. Pretty excited to get this done tomorrow! I had a couple days of doubt, but I am over it.

How are you? You must be on your liquid diet? I found it excruciatingly hard!

@@MBM1Forever,

Hey,

I'm glad you are doing well....I am on the liquids. The only way I'm surviving is that I get to have a modest dinner and pudding and popsicles, sugar free of course. My date got moved back to the 15th from the 22nd if you can believe. I'm glad its earlier but I'm a planner, so as soon as they gave the holler, I'm making plans that all have to rescheduled. Oh well. I'm nervous and can't believe I'm doing it. Good thing I followed my first mind and started the pre-op diet on the 1st, so now I'll ready for the date change anyways...Phew! Sorry for the long answer.

How are you? Glad to be on the other side! I know I am. So far, I can eat pretty much anything with no sensitivity. By that, I mean following the guidelines. No throwing up at all! I am down around 10 from surgery day given that I gained 15 lbs in Water weight from the surgery! Ha ha.

@@MBM1Forever, Hey Girl. Me too. So glad it's over and done with. The surgery part that is. No throwing up. Minimal nausea like twice. I added soft eggs in egg drop Soup because I was having trouble sucking down all those shakes but wanted to get Protein. Ugh. I was down 7.5 and that is like miraculous! Sometimes, I can't believe I did it and that the surgery itself worked....I kept thinking mine was gonna be the botched procedure! Or that I would jump off the table as they were wheeling me back!! I was happy with my surgeon, the care I received and the hospital experience in general. I'm so tired I could cry. I've got another week or so off work. I've been making like an infant!! :-) :-) :-)
