Surgery is Scheduled!!

I am so excited!!  I met with the surgeon on the 1st of this month and I'm scheduled for surgery on the 16th.  So very excited and nervous and scared and happy....just a mess of emotions.  I'm on my 2nd day of the liquid diet (2 weeks).  This is hard...but I just keep reminding myself that it is worth it in the end...right? 

Congrats on Your date !!!   I start my liquid diet the 12th and have surgery the 27th. Let us know how your doing.

Thank you!  Congrats on your date as well.  It's so exciting, right? 

Congrats! I started my pre-op diet this past Monday (30th) and my surgery is not until Sept. 4th. I can't wait! It has been a battle not to grab something else. I find myself fighting the hardest in the evening to stay focused. My husband has been helping me through this, but he is traveling right now so I am the only one that can say no and actually stop myself.

Good Luck!

My saving grace the last few days has been the fact that I can have an egg a day and chicken broth.  I've been making my own version of egg drop soup and loving it.  Makes me feel like I'm actually eating something.

 congrats!!!! I cannot wait to see your progress :) I"m scheduled for Sept 10th 

When do you start your liquid diet?  The first 4 days are hard but then it gets easier.  Have you been to the support group yet?  I highly recommend it.  It's been great.  They meet at Kaiser on Ming on Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00pm.  It is a wonderful group of people and you get to learn so much from their experiences. 

 i havent been to the support group yet, wednesdays are bad for me, but i do want to go  i only need to do one week of the liquid diet thank goodness haha so i wont start it for a couple of weeks.

Lucky you!!  I wish I only had one week.  Even though it is definitely working.  I've lost 13 lbs in 11 days.  Wish Options would have worked like that...LOL  Keep me updated on how you are doing and let me know if you have any questions.  Do you have Facebook?  If so, I can add you to the support groups facebook page.  They are a great source of inspiration and support.  YOu can send it to me by private message if you want.  :-)
