Mayo, ketchup sweetener, butter does honey bother you? Etc. I'm starting second phase diet in Wednesday.

Four days out and I'm on.clear liquids. I was wondering what indications you have that your pouch is full. Also what does it feel like if you've taken a gulp as opposed to a sip.

My surgery went well and I'm heading home. Now I'm on the losers bench.

Yay, I'm now on the losers bench. Surgery was Tuesday and I'm heading home right now.

Well it's 6:15 and I'm heading to the hospital. Have to be there by 7. I'll check in later.

I got the fitbit scale and it seams good but I haven't compared it to the doctors scale. I also ordered the fitbit force and it all syncs to my iPhone so I'm ready to go after surgery on Wednesday.

Got my surgery time. It's 9:00 and I have to arrive at 7am day after tomorrow. I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon since it's 3-1/2 hours away and driving into a forecast of 7 inches of snow to come but it's all good. I just can't wait. I got all my financial affairs in order and I'm raring to go!

How rude the so called professionals were to you. I'm so sorry you we're hurt by them. I wasn't aware of protein giving bad breath... Why is that?

I weighed myself today and even with my cheating day I've lost 2 lbs per day. I wonder how much that cake bite hurt me...3 days to go. I guess I'd better get my things packed since I'll leave on Tuesday night...it's a 3.5 hour drive and a few inches of snow is predicted...

Autumn breeze, I must be the worst at this diet. Before the diet I could go most of the day and not eat. Now I wake up hungry. I even cheated, I scraped the frosting off a piece of my granddaughters birthday cake and ate it.(the cake) I felt awful after but it was so good. Ive done pretty good the last couple days, not really hungry at all so I think all in all I'm doing pretty good.

Blueyz80, Good question. I thought I'd get a list from the hospital. I've noticed some in the past list plain Chapstick. I wonder why plain. I'm following to see some replays.

Hi Dorisd, welcome. I'm glad you're here. My surgery is the 5th of feb. Just around the corner. You will find lots if support and information on here. Good luck with your surgery.

Hey ncbabygurl, I'm on my 4 the day. It's been really tough and I even cheated. I feel really lousy but I've got to keep on going. I didn't cheat really bad, just a cupcake, ok that's bad... Lol But heads up! We got this.

Congrats to everyone who had surgery this week. Here's wishing you all a speedy and healthy recovery. You're an inspiration to us who are coming upon our surgeries soon.

I'm February 5th at 9am but I hafta be at the hospital at 7am

Kenny W, I'm not on the losers bench yet but I'm sure it's totally worth it. I'm on my 3rd day of a 10 day liquid diet. They say it gets better, I guess I'll find out. I'm scheduled for Feb 5th. Good luck to you, you got this.

Thank you cupcake. I'm 8 days away now.

I'm 55 and looking forward to a healthy happy life.

I'm on a 10 day diet.

I'm 55 and surgery date is 2/5. I look forward to many thin healthy years ahead.

Thank you Autumn Breeze, I fought really hard against the last supper... Lol I've made it so far today and it seems I'm doing very well with my diet. I'm allowed 3 oz of fat free meat with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and protein drinks if I prefer to switch one of those meals out. I can have unlimited celery, broccoli, cauliflower, dill pickles and the usual clear liquid stuff so I'm having a better go of it than if all I got was clear liquids only. I want to be in the best possible shape at the end of my 10 days. It's so exciting to know surgery is just around the corner.

Guess now I get to see how strong I really am... My mom doesn't think I can do it but I had to thank her for saying that because it just makes me that much more determined.

Today is preregistration day and final labs before surgery on February 5th. I haven't felt nervous or anxious but for some reason I woke up at 1:30 and can't get back to sleep. So I'm wondering if subconsciously I'm anxious...is that possible???

Praying Misty!!

I checked and my doctor does the leak test before a person leaves the OR.
