I'm hoping by the morning I'll be ok. Gotta be up and at the hospital at 5:30 am. But right now I cant seem to shake this anxious feeling! I know i'm not getting any work done today. [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

I'm right there with you nyorker

My surgery is tomorrow ((YAY!!!) scared, nervous, excited, anxious, all that right now. Please tell me how I’m expected to focus at work today?? My mind is on so many other things right now. [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

My surgery is the 21st too! Some days I was hating it but the liquid diet really hasn't been all that bad.

I have about 3-4 protein shakes a day and in-between I'll have broth and SF Popsicles. Jello does sound pretty good. I'll have to make some! [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

Been on this preop diet for about 11 days now. Really haven't experienced any constipation. Everything's 'flowing' pretty well. I'm kinda wondering where its all coming from since I'm not consuming any food. [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

Sorry to hear that. Don't give up yet. Have you looked into Care Credit or MedicalFinancing? I hear both are good options and MedicalFinancing has a program called No Patient Left Behind for those of us with not so perfect credit. Good luck to you. Its not over just yet!!! http://www.medicalfinancing.com/landing-page/index.html?PPC=G-MF701&gclid=CJLG5PzWgLkCFShxQgod5WEAzw [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

I'm scheduled on the 21st. 9 days into my liquid preop diet. 5 more days to go. More than half way there!!! [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

online shopping for Protein supplements right now so thank you!! [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

Really haven't had any nausea ((thankfully)) but I do get random headaches. Try to Stay hydrated!! [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

I'm starting to come across that. We get together about 3 times a week for dinner and drinks (mainly drinks) and for the last few weeks I've declined just becasue I don't want to place myself in a situation to be tempted. Its always someones birthday, or promotion or some kind of other celebration around here and its killer. Cakes, Cookies, pies and what not everywhere. Usually I'm all for that but no more. I've been staying away and sticking to my Protein shakes. So I guess I'll just continue to do what I do and take it as it comes!

It’s one week ((YIKES!!)) before my surgery and I’m debating on whether or not to tell my coworkers. While some/most would be understanding and supportive, there are those that won’t. Don’t get me wrong I’m proud of MY decision, but I also feel that MY decision is MY decision and really I just don’t want any negativity around me right now. I don’t have time for that!! Just wondering what your thoughts are and how your experiences were with this. [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

YESSS!!! And still going through it. It does get easier by the day. Just stay focused. Wish I could say two weeks will fly by in no time!! But seriously this has been the longest 2 weeks of my life. You'll get through it....Good Luck!!! [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

Thats what I'm doing. Taking 2 weeks off work for 'vacation' and with it being summer, no one is questioning why. I'm sure people have noticed, just probably don't know what to say....congrats on the weight loss!!

That has crossed my mind. Theres always that damn what IF factor. If I dont tell and I dont lose no one else will know but me. Crazy logic, I know....slowly kickin ALL that doubt in the rear end [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

Working in an office full of women....this is very true [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

Congrats to you!! You look great!!! [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]

Glad to hear you're doing good! Keep us posted on your progress!! [sharedmedia=trackers:tickers:9803]
