Good luck to all of you tomorrow. You'll do great.

Thank you

Not sure if this is due to pre OP diet. I use Bariatric Advantage vanilla and their vegetable Soup in evening. Maybe I am just hormonal. I'm getting plenty of Protein each serving of these 20/27 grams w/ carbs of 2/3 per serving. Drinking plenty of free fluids.

I have been so excited and have worked so hard to get to this place, I'm not grieving food or it's comforts. I just don't know what the heck is going on!

My surgery is tomorrow too. ... good luck I will pray for u!!!

Oh my, Good Luck to you!!!! How are you holding up?

So far I'm ok I'm not feeling nervous or scared but in a few more hours I'll probably be freaking out lol

My surgery is tomorrow I check in at the hospital at 6 am

I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight. ..... I don't feel nervous or scared just wondering. ..... anyone else having surgery tomorrow???

Really I'm on my pre op liquid diet and its been killing me I want real food but when I got on the scale and saw the 4 lbs gone I was like omg it's all worth it

Hi all! Not much to say, I'm a bit emo, that I posted in the other thread and was pretty much ignored. Tried to be encouraging but guess it was unwanted. It's difficult not to sound dramatic when trying to express a hurt, I'm not searching for sympathy, just wanted to explain my reason for going on my merry way as far as participating.

I'm not good at these forum things so I will just say best of luck to you all on your journeys.

Hi Slim do you have any tips as far as the hospital stay I have my surgery next week on the 22nd and I'm nervous 9 days and counting I'm excited that it's almost here but I'm worried that this liquid diet is going to kick my ass

Omg omg just left my Dr office I have lost 4 lbs on my liquid diet I'm so excited

It's normal my friend had the surgery three months ago she says she doesn't even feel hungry

Maybe going to a support group would help see if they have one that relates to your needs talking about it is always away to work threw the difficult times. Our minds are always going to hunt us down and prey on our fears we are our own worst enemies. A lot of prayer to your higher power will work as well ask him to take those feelings from your heart turn them over to God or your higher power and don't pick them back up once u let them go take a step forward and tell yourself that's the past. Today I won't be depressed by my surgery or my illness I am ready to live. I'm here if you need to talk were all in similar situations.

I'm taking sweat pants and a t-shirt with socks just to be comfy. The only thing I'm gonna hate is not having on makeup

Day 4 liquid diet 9 days before surgery woot woot I feel so much better today went to my aunts for dinner brought my own food with me and even tho they were all eating pizza I could enjoy myself with out indulging everyone asked me a million questions about surgery I'm so ready to join the losers bench

Started liquids today. All I can say is that I am hungry! I want to put food in my mouth and chew! So I get a Meal Replacement for Breakfast lunch and dinner; and 2 Protein Snacks like crystal light with Protein powder in it. I am ready for something that isn't sweet. I want something salty! I have been drinking the crystal light all day, I made 2 quarts and in between cups of that I am drinking 16 oz bottles of Water. Been to the bathroom many times! I am going to call my doctor office tomorrow and see if I can have broth with protein because I'm already bored and just got started!!! Wednesday is coming up fast, so excited and scared at the same time! Now I am about to have my banana shake! Bottoms up!

I have broth Jello protein shakes Water coconut water different flavors of broth today's day 3 of my liquid diet and its getting easier. ...The first day was so so so so hard. Keep up the good work in the end it will be such a blessing to be healthy
