I had surgery Monday (12-31) and lost 6 pounds today from yesterday. Who knows? I am drinking liquids and resting a lot.

that was the hardest thing for me. i stopped 1 month before surgery. i still miss it.

30, 30 as well.

I quit in June using Chantix. I tried many times before. This time, I knew it would work because I wanted to. I did it for myself and my family. I had surgery on 12-31 and loved that smoking wasn't an issue. I think about it still but know I made the right decision to get healthy. Good luck!

I had surgery on Monday. I had 2 days liquid pre-op diet but no citrite. I'm home a feeling good. I need a lot of rest, though. The gas pain was the worst for me. Sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk! Good luck!

I had surgery 12-31 also. stayed 2 nights in hospital although they would have let me go after 1. drinking no problem for me. once i got rid of gas, i feel good. jello, broth, juice for meals. hope everyone is doing well!

At the hospital I ate broth. jello, juice. coffee and water. I did not walk the day of surgery because I was so dizzy. Yesterday and today no problem walking. I got a b12 shot today plus I took a multi vitamin. I take lots of cat naps. good luck.

I am 2 days post op and feel pretty good. The first day I was real sore. It almost seems like a fog because of the morphine I was on. I feel pretty good now considering I just had major surgery. It was easy for me to hold down water. I am optimistic. I'm not the least bit hungry yet.

thanks for the inspiration! my surgery is tomorrow!

thanks for the inspiration! i hope mine goes half as well as yours!

my surgery is monday and i'm psyching myself out by this pre-op liquid diet. I tried isopure today (not horrible but not good). at least it's only for 2 days. hurry up monday because i am hungry!

My surgery is on 12-31 also. I've known for 2 weeks. The closer it gets, the more nervous I am. Not about the surgery but about the recovery. I read so many stories about pain, getting enough liquids/protein in. leaks, etc....

It sounds like you're doing great! I only hope my journey is as successful as yours. My surgery is 12-31. Wish me luck!

uncooked chicken? no water? please elaborate on this recipe. the ingredients sound great!

It sounds like you're lucky!

My deductible has been met! Thank goodness. I can't believe how fast all those appointments add up! I had my pre-op yesterday. All my appointments are done! My surgery is on 12/31! Lets keep each other posted! Good luck!

same story as the previous posts. i thought it was kind of a waste of time/money. no big deal!

I hope I will say the same thing! Congrats!

you have to jump thru a lot of hoops! very time consuming and costly! good luck!

Honesty is always the best policy! I am not ashamed of having surgery. Some people have told me not to do it while most are very happy for me. I didn't want to get caught up in a web of lies.
