I was going back to work tomorrow but decided to wait another day.

I'm so excited! I cannot wait to get to the healthier me. I find that my upcoming surgery is all I think about.

I'm sure you'll do great @@Angelant76 it's important to get up and walk and take deep breaths. Don't wait too long to take your medication. Popcicles will be your new favorite food group. Lol

I guess I'm doing as well as expected. Thankful that I've not been nauseous at all and able to drink with ease.

Hi. I'm in GA. The pain has been manageable. I'm on day 4 post-op. Day 2 was the worst for me. Today I've slept a lot but tried to walk every two hours.

Yesterday was awful but today is better. First day I have not cried. Lol Protein shakes are still not very good. My taste seems to be off. I have Whey 2Go Protein packs that mix with water that's kind of like crystal light.

Special note...don't wait too long to take your pain medication. They give it for a reason. I'm not a pill taker and I waited too long yesterday and ended up in tears. Also buy GasX!

Thank you so much!

Hi. Had trouble coming out of anesthesia and low BP and low Oxygen levels. I almost had to stay over but I'm home now just lots of pain.

Thank you! and best wishes to you as well. @@rodflanders

What should I expect the day of surgery...after the procedure? My surgery is a week from tomorrow :-)

Maybe you can do a stir fry or veggie Soup with low or no sodium broth. low-glycemic vegetable list to start your journey to a healthier you: Artichokes Asparagus Bamboo shoots Bean sprouts Broccoli Brussels sprouts Cucumber DaikonEggplantBeans (green, kidney, garbanzo) Greens (collard, kale, mustard, turnip) Pea pods Peppers Radishes Rutabaga Sugar snap peas Swiss chard Cabbage (green, bok choy, Chinese) salad greens (chicory, endive, escarole, iceberg lettuce, romaine, spinach, arugula, radicchio, watercress)

Did anyone have trouble taking their medication?

I'm so stinking ready for this! I have one more week on my liquid prep and I'm about to snap.

@@bkchick88 thank you! COME ON DAY 10!

Must say so far it's not been so bad, but not exactly how I wanted to spend my 40th birthday. Looking forward to having the next 2 weeks behind me.

@@Chevellechik that's excellent! I know you are excited. I'm on day 4 of prep. It's not so bad. I hope to get to the gym this week.

@@ashly200423 I bought chewable vitimins lol

@@ashly200423 Day 11 seems so far away lol Congrats on the loss of 11pounds

What motivation! You look great!

@@JoJoNYC I'm excited for both of us. How long is your prep?

You can do anything for a week

The 21st will be here before you know it! I'm ending day 2 of my liquid diet 13 more days to go lol.

Hi, That's great you are doing so well! I did well up until about 8pm and started getting hungry so I just went to bed. Lol

I'm so excited about your suggestion!
