Thank you for your prayers, day two after surgery, they say everything is looking good. No desire to eat, but I was told that, sore, pain, but that is part of the deal. I have a wonderful hospital staff. My daughter has been by my side every day and I am so blessed. It is so important to walk as soon as possible. I have walked each day in the halls. I am starting to hurt less today than yesterday. I've eaten a few bites this morning. I keep you posted.

I just arrived at the hospital. I have checked in, waiting to be called back, my daughter just sent me an I love you and she will be on the road in a little bit. My God mother is by my side all is well

My surgery is Monday, I'm still nervous, but I have been fighting this weight battle for 25 years. I know everything I have gone through the last 7 months and will go through the remaining days of my life will be worth it. I'm blessed to have a support group of friends and family.

Remember, the pre-op diet is not about losing weight, it is to get your body/liver and abdomen ready for the surgery. Some will loss and others will not.

You are correct, it is to shrink your abdomen and liver, the weight is a plus.

I was talking about the pre-op diet

I only lost 3 lbs last week it was my 1st week, don't be hard on yourself.

I went to GNC, the total lean shakes are not bad. We'll see how this week goes when I have to drink 4. I'll keep you posted.

I am.

I was approved on lad Friday,, surgery date September 15.
