How morbid were your thoughts leading up to your surgery? Now that I'm 14 day away I think of it consistently try not to but of corse my mind always comes back to my new life. I am also trying really hard not to think the worst or the bad but their is a chance. I know the percentage is so low now but think that i may not waking up from surgery makes me think I am selfish for wanting this

Happy happy for you!

I had my Final Pre-Op meal tonight. My favorite Sushi rolls and then a few bites of steak. Tomorrow I start the 14 day liquid diet, with my allowable 2 Protein bars a day Let it good times and weight lose begin :-)

Lots of good positive energy flowing your way! And speedy recovery

Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Speedy recover and good energy that all is going to go well!

It's been a rough day................ :-(

Bra? Haha I will not be putting a bra on.

I was in Cleveland for school orientation. On my way back to pa now

You can really tell in your face. Great job!

I hope everything is going well, hope the doctors can find what is going on My thoughts and energy are with you and your family during this time.

So liquid diet starts on Tuesday. It could not any come sooner! We went to Cleveland zoo today and my bf took one of the worse pictures EVER of me. If it was on a phone I would upload I look like a huge hot sweaty mess Won't through the elephant exhibit and the fun facts they have A baby elephant weights 250 when born Who has two thumbs and weight more than a baby elephant. THIS GIRL !!!! Start of my new healthy life ........ August 21, 2012

Thanks everyone! Every emotion imaginable right now!

How did he know your liver is huge? Scope?

I had my last pre-op appointment tonight. Saw the surgeon went over everything. Answered questions. Calmed my nerves. Got weighted. Lost 1.5 lbs since last one Got my Protein shakes and Protein Bars Took my pre surgery picture. Saw the anastegiologist (sp. should learn how to spell that ) Meet with the nurses. And lastly I got my for sure date. Have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am Tuesday August 21 Ahhhhhhhhhh

If you like stir-fry try firm tofu. Make your standard mixed veggies (pea pods, Water chestnuts,carrots etc) I did about one inch length thin strips use teriyaki sauce only on the tofu All in the pan I know those are completely crap cooking directions/recipe but I really enjoyed it

When is from the beginning? I am starting the gym ASAP after. I have a full time office job. I am also my step-fathers home health aide which mainly consist of helping him into bed (lifting him out of his wheelchair and into bed, he I approx 6 2' weight? But he is a quadrapelegic so it is all dead weight) So just wondering how long I will have to be off work from that job ?

I better jump on the band wagon also. Jackmanrd3@gmail.com Thanks a bunch

Congrats to you! And welcome! I have a question what was your workout routine like? Days a week/ hours a day/ exersizes machines/ weights ? I know thy it is going to be must, and have to change my thought process and believe that I my body mind and spirit is the most important and not working out will no longer be an option

Thinking of you. Hope the pain meds do their job

Lots of well wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery

Bird I have done the lemonade "master cleanse" roughly 4 times the first time ever I went for 21 days losing 28 lbs. eventually I believe it lead to my gull bladder / stones. I also didn't have insurance at the time so I put off going to the hospital for a week longer than what I should have. Well massive infection janduce and emergency sergury sched for the next day. The next few times I didn't do it for that long. But I know just what you mean about the energy level shooting threw the roof I think we will get it again when we start dropping lbs and exersizing properly.

(((((((((((((( Big Hugs )))))))))))) déjà. Just what I needed

Will be thinking of you tomorrow for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

I know we all start somewhere but I dreaded putting these pictures up before I had the procedure

Got up to go to bed and knee was killing me walking up the steps. All I could thinknandvsay was. Oh I hope I have not done permanent damage and just a ill longer and this weight will start coming off It has been approx four months ago that I felt the change in my knee.
