Got the surgery yesterday. I will be officially coming to the loser's on October 21st.

I am apprehensive regarding the week of liquid diet. Any helpful hints??

Just keep thinking to yourself, tomorrow will be better.....

After the first few days, it gets easier. BUT: Don't slip, stay on plan, and focus. This is for your future, and I'm not just talking about this weekend.

Good luck.

Good news on getting a surgery date!

Look at the week of liquid diet as a chance to adjust your eating habits to what you will need to be doing post op. Can't say it enough - this is one hell of a ride!

1. Sip, sip, sip. Have to get your fluids.
2. Walk, walk, walk. Need the exercise and prevents blood clots.
3. Any problems - CALL YOUR DOCTOR!! Nuff said.
4. NEVER, and I mean NEVER trust a fart!! You may redecorate your surroundings.
