Topic: 2 more weeks......
Well, its around the corner closer than I thought. I am ready for it. Doing finally things around the house. 2 more family functions to keep my weekends full. Swimming everyday to help relieve the arthritis pain. No more Vioxx at this point. I am a little nervouse, but I feel it is normal for anytype of surgery. Family members are behind me 100% espically my fiance Michael. I will keep everyone informed on what is happening till surgery.

Topic: RE: I AM SSSOOO SCARED!!!!!!!!!
Tabby, being scared is totally natural. I had surgery last Tuesday (August 5), and the night before, I was trying to think of what reason I could give to NOT go through with the surgery. So far, I have had no complications, and pray to God that I continue not having any. This is a very serious surgery, and you should do as much research as you possibly can before you make that final decision. If I can be of any help you can contact me at [email protected], and I will try to answer what questions you may have (with my limited knowledge). Good luck to you though.

Topic: Hi, GOT A SURGERY DATE!!!
My surgery date is Aug. 26th and I can't wait. It has been a smooth and long road. I can't wait until this part is over and I am on the recovering side.

Topic: RE: liquid diet before surgery
Tomorrow is my surgery date, so I have just completed 7 days of low-carb liquids. Dr. Atkins shakes, along with another brand, bloody mary mix (tasty spicey tomato juice), WATER, and some soups I found at a "whole foods-type" grocery store -- potato/leek, corn, gazpacho, and those fruit popsicles have helped me through it wonderfully. Have only been getting 500-600 calories per day, and averaging around 35-40 carbs. My surgeon said it is to shrink my liver. Good luck!
