You look terrific!! Congrats to you! I as well have have 3 abdominal surgeries, not including 2 c-sections, 1994 and 1999....I should clarify that I don't need to do a pre-op liquid diet...I have been doing "low carb" for the last year and only have lost 27 lbs, very very slow...I continue to do low carb and I don't plan on even having that "last meal" prior to surgery as I don't want my liver to be in the way, so my surgeon said just keep doing what I've been doing and don't gain weight, I will be fine....so I will continue to "watch it"....thank you for the heads up! I will keep in touch., thanks!

that is awesome!

I finally spoke to my surgeon this morning in great length,(the day I went for consult, he was still in surgery) I have all my visits that are required in ONE day in the same hospital! June 8th! Can't wait! I asked him about a pre-liquied diet and he advised he doesn't do that, he just requires nothing to eat or drink after midnight, the day of surgery! He advised it is 'torture' to put someone through that, the 7 days post op is enough! I found him very genuine and answered all my questions and he said I'm probably looking at at surgery date of 1st or 2nd week of July.....so pumped!

I am!!! just want it done and over, as everyone else who is waiting for a date....you have done awesome Kala, hope I can get to the point you are at one day...seems so far away....any advise as to questions you didn't ask your surgeon prior to surgery and wished you had asked?

Yes Jeni, that is what he said to me....I do low carb everyday except on weekends, I tend to not count them....so I am able to "stay" at the weight I am doing this....

Good luck to you!!! just keep your eye on the "prize" at the end of it!!! you can do it!

Thank you so much and to you as well!
