WEEK 2 PRE OP LIQUIDS

Today is the beginning of week 2 preop diet. I haven't weighed but the clothes are much looser and I cleared out my closet this weekend except for a few things to get me through. I am glad it is getting colder and the sweatshirts get to come out. 1 week and 2 days till the 19th and a bunch of things are racing through my head. Making my list for the hospital, not taking much as per the topics on this great web site have stated. My sister and Mom are coming over from VA to stay with me and that will be great. It is always good to have family around (I hope). No nerves about the surgery, I am so ready for this tool to start helping me to continue my weight loss and continue on the road to a healthier life. I mowed the grass Saturday with a push mower for the first time in years and didn't get out of breathe, it was amazing. Just getting the 55 lbs off has made me feel so much better. This is going to be the best gift I could have given myself.

I feel the same way!!! I have lost 45 lbs so far...and my surgery is 3 weeks from Wednesday! I know I am making the right choice...and I know that I will succeed because I have changed my eating habits already. The "tool" WLS is a bonus!

I am struggling with exercise...because of my, plantar faciitis, foot pain. But....I am walking 1 1/2 miles atleast 3-4 days a week.

Please keep us posted...and if you have any tips for the liquid diet part...PLEASE share that too! :)
