I'm November 1 in Rhode Island, Dr Giovanni. Super excited, but also aware of the challenges ahead. [emoji1303]

Hello my Peeps
I was just notified by my Dr. that since my BMI is 39 I do not need to do a 2-week liquid diet. I can do one week only and have my surgery on the 1st of November instead. I agreed, of course. Now am freaking out!!!!!!

Bruno DM me. I can be a great deal of help
. I am a 37 yr old male and I live alone... my mom brought me home from surgery and stayed with me till about 10pm the day I was released. She wanted to stay the night but I told her to go home and sleep in her own bed. I've been taking care of myself basically since I was released from the hospital. It's doable. Your not gonna want to leave for I'd say 2-3 days post op. Just rest and let the body heel at home.. Get rid of ALL the food in your house cause u can't even touch any of it for like a month. Stock up on sugar free popsicles, SG free Jello, and SG free pudding. Also buy the genpro unflavored Protein and mix it with the pudding.. You'll be fine on your own unless u have another handicap not mentioned. I went back to the gym and felt good doing so on Day 8 Post op. Try to document as much as u can..also get reading material or find some new shows to leave. Cause it gets really boring at home

Going home in a few minutes. Doing great.

My fav sweats & t shirt. A moisturizing sheet mask as I heard anesthesia dries your skin out. Tooth brush, charger phone and headphones. Wish I would have brought chap stick because my lips were so try.

Wow that's great! Congrats on the accomplishment.

Great idea! My surgery will be Nov 1. I'm going to do this too!

I had my surgery on July 27 of this year. A week before I bought a pair of Levi’s 501 jeans 42”x32”. I’m determined to try them on Thanksgiving Day. This was the same size I wore in high school. Once they fit I’ll know I’m about 75% done.

November 1st here in Florida, with Dr Lord! So excited!!! (And nervous) I had to wait until I was cancer free for 5 years, so it's been a long time coming.

I love this Bone Broth. I do simmer it with some vegetables - onion, carrot, cabbage, celery, green pepper - and garlic. It has 7gr/cup/30cal as you can see on the label. I drank a lot of it yesterday and two shakes, some sf Jello. Yay!! I survived!!! LOL Nine more days to go.

It's weird, I am not hungry at all. I need to get a couple shakes in yet, but don't even want anything.
I am canning some homemade applesauce today and kept busy peeling about 16lbs of apples.
Not allowed to eat the vegetables - I strain them out - just gives added flavor.

@hillnicole34, first I want to say, you got this!! It's hard, but when you kick this pre-op diet's ass, it will be so worth it! I will be 3 weeks post-op on Monday. I will just now be able to move up to eggs, cottage cheese, cheese and soft cooked vegetables. I CANNOT WAIT!!! I lost 26 pounds during my 2 week pre-op diet. The shakes were horrible and were hard to stomach after week 1. I was to the point that I was hangry. I was a b***h to the people that I work with. It is the worst mental torture I think I've ever been through. You know what helped me though? Gum. Get something sugar free. Even that makes you feel like you're cheating, but it helped so much. I hope this helps. Again, you got this!
