So, tomorrow is the big day. No liquid diet for me. I can eat regular all day today. Nothing after midnight. Although I will be saying farewell to regular food for a while, I had no desire to pig out today. I had some pancakes for Breakfast (thanks to the hubby) . . . I had some greek yogurt and I'll be doing some turkey chili tonight for dinner.

The heart is racing . . .but I don't think its nervousness. (thanks to you all! :) ) I think I'm getting excited.

Losing this weight will prayerfully grant me some sort of normalcy after battling cancer for so long.

I look forward to wearing dresses, shorts in the summertime and working out for more than 10 mins.

I also look forward to getting out of bed. Depression had me trapped in my room for most of the year.

I'm just so excited. I literally feel tears coming to my eyes.

I'm so excited for you and will be praying and thinking of you tomorrow☺ I too am excited for all the same things. I too was depressed and my bed was my best friend after I miscarried. I will have my surgery on Jan 27. I am here if you ever need to talk. Big Hugs to you. You got this!

Ok . .So, I've been up since 3AM.

I prepared my hubby some Breakfast in bed. And I wasn't tempted to take a single bite.

I pre-prepared some lunch and dinner with a few Snacks in anticipation for a long day.

Showered. Bags packed. There's nothing left to do except go to the hospital.

OMG . . .I can't believe the day is finally here. My eyes are filling with tears (again) . . . .I just want to be normal again. Cancer free, energetic and healthy.

Wow.

Good luck to you. Think positive. Everything is going to be ok. You will initially have some pain but mostly from the gas. This will pass and will be nothing like you have previously endured. You got this!

Hello All:

Everything went well.

At some point I remember crying and yelling out loud, "why did I do this!!!" . . . but that 'freak out' didn't last long.

I was so heavily medicated . . most of my experience in the hospital is a big blur. I was admitted on Monday and I think I was discharged on Tuesday.

I had a little emotional setback today. I can't put my finger on why. I just felt really sad.

I'm hungry. Like, really hungry. I realize that the feeling of fullness won't really occur until I start eating solids. I pray that once I start eating, I'll feel better.

My starting weight was 247. I am now 237.7.

I really appreciate this community.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
