good luck!

My surgery is on the 5th and i was not given the magnesium citrate...thank god! haha I think the two week liquid diet cleaned me out enough. Today since i had the day off i cleaned my whole apt, did all my laundry and made sure i had everything ill need for when i get back. Tomorrow ill go to work and i was told just full liquids all day (already doing this) and then Clear Liquids from midnight until 2 hours before my surgery. I call tomorrow to get the time...im starting to get nervous!! What is everyone bringing with them to the hospital? I was told no valuables but i was going to bring a book, my phone, couple pairs of undies, brush, face wipes and thats about it. They will make me wear the gown thing and provide everything else so i figure the less i bring the better! Plus i hope to get released the next day so I do not need to spend two nights.

I weighed in this morning at 259.1 !! I love/hate this pre-op diet. Its crazy to think that i could be in the 240s soon and i havent seen that in 8 years...yay! Also i am officially under 100 lbs from goal...still crazy but it sounds better that i have less than 100 lbs to lose. hehe :wub:

Hi! I am originally from NH...im in MA currently. Its nice to see someone close! Good luck on your surgery. Mine is only in 3 days and its starting to hit home that this is so close and real..not second guessing myself but its definitly making me a little nervous.

Me either. My surgery is next week and the smallest i remember being as an adult was 200 lbs and i was 18. Smallest size i have bought was a 16...so its kind of scary and also exciting to think that i will be able to shop at normal stores and dress trendy instead of like a fat girl hiding behind her clothes!!! I have always been big but it was until i hit puberty that i got really big. Good luck on your transformation.

lucky about the no preop diet. Im on day 8 of my preop and id kill for a salad lol

Yay! Congrats on finally getting your date!!

Tell me about it!! I will admit i have cheated a few times but i have been good the past 4 days and started on 8/22. 7 days to go!!!

Mine consists of two weeks of liquid diet. I had to buy the Protein that they wanted us to use (its actually not bad) its called HMR 800 and i can turn them into pudding and stuff and add flavorings so its not that bad...yet (only on day 2).

Me too...im on day 2 now..

So i start my liquid diet today. My surgeon has me on HMR 800 shakes (comes in vanilla and chocolate) at 5 a day but they want me to have 1 shake at one meal and 2 shakes at the other meals. I made 2 packets of the chocolate this morning in the blender with ice and it comes out super creamy and looks like a milkshake. I was kind of scared of not liking this Protein drink but so far so good the choolate is really good, no weird after taste and its not super sweet. Now i just have to try the vanilla (i brought that for lunch) and they gave me a bunch of recipes to give variety. If the vanilla tastes as good as the chocolate then i dont see why i will have a problem sticking to the two week liquid diet. Wish me luck! :wub: Starting weight: 263,9 Goal to reach : 255 (surgeon wants me down to that for surgery)

Thanks!

haha congrats! i had to laugh at the heading of your post...i can see kermit doing the flail. Good luck!

I bought them right at my dr's office but if you look online you can find the website and the places you can order from online or at locations. I tried seeing if i could find them cheaper online and i couldnt..they were actually more expensive (go figure). I had to buy 4 boxes at 33.99 a piece..but i figure if thats all im eating for the next two weeks i probably would have spent more on trips to supermarket/take out.

i was looking at these as it was suggested by my NUT (the zero carb ones) for the first two weeks after if i didnt want to do choc/vanilla protein drinks. I'll have to go buy a couple flavors to check it out as they do have alot of protein in the bottle.

I Start my liquid diet tomorrow...2 weeks and then i have surgery. This has been a crazy 7 months and it went by so fast!! Now i just need to make it through the next two weeks

Mine starts on Wednesday and I'm doing 5 HMR 800 shakes a day for two weeks

Highest 286.5 Current. 267.5 Goal. 160 (I'm 5'7) Surgery. 9/5/12 soo close

They are a no no on my plan too. They recommend the Bariatric fusion vitamins since it has everything you need and do not need to take multiples. I haven't tried them yet as I'm still pre op

You will do great! Don't let the date scare you.

Yay!! I just found out that my Sept 5th surgery is approved!! Now all i need to do is start my liquid diet next Wednesday. Its getting very real ...

OMG...it doesn't even make sense!!!!

Good luck tomorrow! I cant wait till i am saying the same thing

I was told by my surgeon that as long as i feel comfortable to go for it. He said a week or two...i kind of scared because i have to go off BC two weeks before and then three weeks after i can start it again.

Well I'm sorry but there's shorthand then there is the lack of knowledge of which version of a word to use. Some and sum...weight and wait....etc. I normally keep my mouth shut and I am not condoning the way the guys reacted but there is no need to hate on them. ::: steps off box ::::
