Only 11 hours in and I want real food. Hah.

This is pretty great, I'm going to start thinking of names.

I just started my 2 week pre op liquid diet this morning.

Surgeon says no coffee.

But I can have plain decaffeinated coffee.< /p>

--And let me tell you, I'm about falling asleep at my desk right now. No coffee sucks.

Starting my 2 week pre op liquid diet this morning. Oh boy.

Really good job!

Today I'm going to be telling the surgeon and physician assistant I work very closely with that I will be off for a month. My mind and stomach are churning right now trying to figure out how I'm going to explain it. They depend on me. I've thought about telling them that I'm having a small bowel resection. I'm just wondering if thats the right explanation I want to go with. I don't want them to think I'm having weight loss surgery. I don't want to be looked down upon and look like a lazy fat girl.

Very excited for you!

- Not to have to wonder if a chair is going to support me before I sit down

- Not to have to walk light-footed through houses so I wouldn't shake the house AS MUCH

- Not to be larger than my significant other

- Not to wear out/break my recliners

Do any of you have a list of things that you want to do after you lose the weight? What are they?

I want to:

ride rollercoasters

run

go shopping

wear heels

ride horses! <3

@@foodfighter78 Wow you are rocking'! Great job!

@@Whitefoot Hey that's alright. Good for you!

Best of luck to everyone on surgery day! I am excited and nervous all at the same time.

Umm we should be buddies then! For sure!

My surgery date is May 9th!

Pre op all liquid diet is 2 weeks.

I'm so freaking excited.

Also, you could consider making an appt with a podiatrist. They could possibly talk about a cortisone injection. This is something that is easily done in the office, usually right during your appt.

I'm May 9th! I start my 2 week pre op liquid diet on 4/25/15.

My vacation this year is going to be the whole month I take off to have surgery!!! . Lol

I'm 5'10.5" and I have a goal of like 185. I think I'll look pretty bomb at that weight.

Make sure to check with surgeon first before applying any lotions. Usually incisions must be fully healed before applying any lotions.

Yeah, I feel ya. I wrote a paragraph about how crappy I'm doing right now with eating, and then I didn't post it because I wasn't brave enough.

This guilt has to be the worst.

*hugs* Do what you need to do to get back on track.

I hope all goes well!

I'm currently going through the process with the Cleveland Clinic. So far so good, except for having to attend a Substance Abuse Risk group meeting because I'll drink a bottle of wine MAYBE twice a month. Apparently I'm a binge drinker. I told the psychologist that I don't need to go to a meeting, I can just stop completely right now, but nope. Whatever. I'm not going to be drinking at all after surgery, I know this.

So far that's my only irritation. I expected it to be a long process.

This is a good question. I would also like to know what people suggest. The last thing I'm going to want to do is go to Walmart.< /p>

Yeah, don't be surprised if you get another bill. Hospital billing can sometimes be TERRIBLE.

I'm going to be drinking and handing out candy.< /p>

Kids that are not dressed up are NOT getting any candy from me.

I CANNOT wait to go shopping at Victoria's! Some day!
