visit 4 of 6 done and no pre op liquid diet!!!

i just got done with my 4th visit just two more until the big day... i cant wait!!! im down 12lbs for the month and i ask the doctor he said no pre op liquid diet and no drains, cath etc.... im really happy about the cath and drains thing... I put myself on no carbs for two weeks before my visit so i know where some of my success this month came from... the goal for next month maybe 5 more pounds and then a month of maintance before the big day... now to just catch up on the medical bills for the pre-op test which really arent too bad then im on the road to a better life... i am truly happy right now i didnt think these days of the surgery being somewhat close would ever come... my advice to the people just starting on the 6month diet is to hang in there go to support meetings, they really helped me get to where i am right now... they days will count down and soon it will be here even though my surgery isnt until nov i feel now how close it is... yay!!!!!

Good way to get yourself mentally and physically prepared! I did not have any of those things either. I only had to do liquids for 24 hours before surgery. That was hard enough! I can't imagine these people who have to do it for weeks!!!

Your day will be here before you know it!
