Day one of my liquid diet surgery June 4th

Hello All,   I am on Day 2 of liquid diet.  My surgery date is June 3rd!!  So excited!!  I have my son's wedding on Sept. 1st , so I am challenged big time to get back on my feet!  No idea how much i should be down in lbs. by then which is making the whole dress for the wedding an issue!!  But will deal with it as it comes I guess.  Any one post op wanna venture a guess as to how nuch i could loose???

Wow...I read these with interest, excitement, admiration and I admit some fear.  I just had my first meeting with my surgeon. I have several health issues and am wondering if anyone of you had A-fib and A-flutter prior to your surgeries.  If so can you give me some take away from your experiences with that?  Thanks and I am sure I will have a million questions during this process.  Good luck and God bless.  

I have not but I would post back on the new board as a new reply.  I am sure there are plenty of people willing to share!

My surgery is also on the 4th of June. I however do not have any pre-op diet, which concers me a bit when reading all your posts. I think a pre-op diet would have made it more "real"for me. I wish you a successful pre-op diet. Congratulations with the graduation of your children!

Hi Sara,

It appears we are scheduled for our surgeries around the same time.  I'm having mine June 7 at St Joes in Hamilton, Ontario.  I started my Optifast diet on May 17.  I'm scheduled to have a nutrition call next week and a pre-op appointment, but no date.  At least my date is a Friday.  The Optifast hasn't been so bad so far but I'm sure I'll be changing that view before it's all over.  I got chocolate.  I put a bottle of water in the freezer until it starts to get icy.  I put the water and the powder in a small one drink blender I picked up at Wal-mart for $17.  It makes it tastes much better being cold and really blended.

Good luck on your Optifast diet and your surgery!
