Trying hard to get ready

Today is Day 14 of my pre-op low carb diet, and I've lost 11.1 pounds. I feel great just having the carbs out of my system. I'm not doing so well on stopping the Diet Cokes yet. I'm hoping I can continue to decrease those before the 29th, or I'm in for major withdrawals.

11 pounds, excuse me, 11.1 pounds is awesome in 14 days! Try to start moving to at least caffeine free DC or taper off (mix 1/2 and 1/2 or every other one and then taper down). The caffeine cold-tukey will give you major headaches (and some have other withdrawl symptoms)and you don't need that in the hospital. My doc lets us have carbonation starting 12 weeks post-op (although he said most people don't like the pain of belching drinking it), so you may want to ask if you haven't already if you'll be allowed to have it again.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm glad you're doing well. I'm hoping I can kick the cokes before my "due date".
