Topic: RE: Nervous!

I have 3 more days to go and my surgery is Wednesday. I feel nervous but I know I haven't had anything but my boost and water but I think so too that if someone cheated they wouldn't say. If you want this you wont cheat it. It's hard, lord knows I have thought maybe just a bite or if I had one more meal if be alright but I know that would be setting myself up to wake up in recovery saying no can do! I would be more than devastated I did have the veggies up until day 5 and then I stopped . I to feel nervous about the veggie thjng. Not sure why. Here's to hoping. It's full speed ahead now almost to the finish line. Everyone says the hardest part is the boost.

Topic: Veggies and Boost

Anybody here from the Bathurst clinic eat their 2 cups of veggies a day during the boost diet? Any impact on the shrinking of the liver??

I am still waiting for "the call", papers are signed and evaluation all done but I am right there with you in the "fear department".  Everything that you spoke of I have had the same thoughts.  I just keep the mantra "Onward and Upward".

They told us that it could happen.  BUT I think that if someone cheats enough that the liver doesn't shrink enough they probably would not fess up about cheating.  Know what I mean?  I am on day 6 and just had my 2 cups of veggies for the first time.  I feel guilty and I know if the surgery doesn't happen that I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.  No pressure eh?

Topic: RE: Psychologist

I was cleared from the psychologist last January. I had my surgery end sept. It was a long wait after you re all cleared where you don't hear anything for awhile. The next thing was the call from the hospital with the date. Then you meet with Monique about a month before the surgery. That's when you get the info to order your shakes. A week before the surgery you go back for a weigh in and the dreaded mrsa test. This confirms that you are on track with losing some weight etc.  then it's the big day.

Right now I am so focused on getting through the boost diet that I can't even think about the surgery itself. When I do let mysf think about it I get so stressed.  What if my liver is still too big?  What if I get sick right before my surgery?  What if they find something once they are in there that prevents the surgery from actually being completed??  The list goes on and on.

i am 9 days in on my boost diet. Today was the easiest day so far. Is it weird that I suddenly feel very nervous. It's so close I can touch it! I am having my surgery in bathurst with Dr semerjian

Topic: Psychologist

hey everyone. I meet with the psychologist for Dr. B on Monday and I am wondering what the steps are after that? Who do you see next and when to sign the papers etc.  how long does it normally take before the surgery. thanks

Topic: RE: Boost and the holidays

c'mon guys, it is hard but you are almost there...you have waited soooooo long. the prize is in sight. holiday dinners are over and the light is at the end of the big long tunnel. just think, in a couple weeks this will all be just a funny memory :)

i was the exact way but funny thing is, i still detox now and then doing the boost diet for 4-5 days at a time.
