Lurking

[FrankinTexas 58]

Hi everyone!

I have been "lurking" since March and decided it was time to join. You all have been more helpful that you realize as I have moved forward in this journey. Surgery date is July 27th. I am both excited and nervous.

Awesome!

Have you started the liquid diet yet?


In just a few weeks you'll be done with the surgery and doing great.

The changes ahead will be all geared toward positive results for you.

Welcome @FranklinTexas! I'm not far behind you. Mine is the 29th.

I only have to do a one day pre op diet of liquids only. But I have already lost 30 lbs while going through the process.

Good luck on your surgery! We're both going to do fine!

Thanks, everyone!

Dub: I have started the liquid diet. My doctor does a progressive liquid diet. For one week, I replace 1 meal with liquids. Next week I replace two meals with liquids and then the week before surgery I replace all meals with liquids.
