  1. I feel okay for the most part. I'm still sore and tired. I'm not hungry at all, so it hard to get my fluids in. I think about broth and get sick. And for some reason I feel really alone during the . To much time on my hands to think. By the way anyone from Pittsburgh? Thanks for letting me vent.

  12. Okay guys...its that time!!! I could not sleep last night just thinking about surgery. I should hear by 10am what time I have to be at the hospital tomorrow. Now im so nervous I cant think straight. All I can think about are the things that could go wrong...before and after surgery. I keep asking myself if im making the right choice. Which I know I am doing the right thing. I know that this is the begining of my new life. Is this normal to feel this way? Or is it a sign? Thanks for letting shar emy fear.

  15. Thanks everyone for your answers and support. I just called my surgeons office and they said I can add protein to water. So I can make it until Oct 11th. And I guess your right this pre-op diet will get me ready for the post-op diet. Thanks again:)
  16. Hi...my name is Nadine. I have a surgery date of Oct 11th. Starting this process was easy for me. I made up in my mind that I no longer wanted to be heavy and have my knees hurt all the time. Half of my family is type 2, and I didnt want that for myself. But now that my surgery is only 3 days away I dont know how I feel. Am I nervous or just chicken (scared to change)??? And this 5 day clear liquid diet is not making things any better. I have no energy and im dizzy all the time. HELP!!!
