ppressey24 254 Posted October 18, 2016 Congrats. Im 12 days post op. I remember my 14 day liquid diet. It was so much easier to get through than i thought. You know what kept my mind from wondering back to food, my people on here and the adult coloring books. Im hooked and i even took 1 to the hospital Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Armygalbonnie 643 Posted October 18, 2016 Thank you everyone! The anxiousness of it all hit me full force last night, but I'm better today. I am fortunate in my pre-op diet that I still get to eat until the 28th. I do hope to lose 5 to 6 lbs more before surgery. For you all who are having surgery the same day as me, CONGRATULATIONS and you got this! For the veterans, thank you so much for your encouraging words and wisdom.
