Wow!! Good for you! So happy to hear of your good head start!:crying:

My surgery is tomorrow too! I feel Ya!! Am really, really, really hating chicken broth right now!:puke:

Surgery date is almost here and I am feeling pretty anxious. I'm not worried about the eating changes, that part is already laid out for the next few weeks and I like having a plan. The part that is annoying is not knowing how I will feel afterward. How bad will the pain be? Will I be able to go anywhere or will I be laid out for a few days? I've never had surgery before of any kind and have never been anesthetized! Am I the only one obsessing over this?

Thanks for the advice! I will try that! It seems to me that the people who are having the least amount of pain are the ones who are trying to stay active, I imagine it helps with the gas pain.

Congratulations, I'm so nervous, my date is on monday and I'm just not sure how much time I'm going to need off of work! Did you have the gas pain?

Shopping already?! Wow! I hope that I will be able to be up and around the next day! I can not stand laying around all day!

Thanx Maxi2010! I am currently on a pre-op diet, but my surgeon doesn't require liquid diet. I have to eat only 1000 calories daily. I'm actually a lil bummed about that because I don't feel like I got the weight loss head start a lot of others have since they did the liquid diet. I have only 4 days left and in the past 10 days I have only lost 3lbs. But, I guess a loss is a loss! :thumbup:

My surgery is the 11th as well! How is your pre-op diet going?

I am so excited to join the Outrageous Octobers!! My surgery is scheduled for the 11th and I am very excited! I am on day 9 of pre-op diet, which seems to be a little different for me, my surgeon had me eating 1000 calories a day and only clear liquid diet the day before surgery. This hasn't been unbearable, but I have only lost 2lbs so far. I am dissapointed since so many others have lost a lot more than that on the pre-op liquid diet. I just hope I am not missing out on something important by not doing the liquid diet. Hope to see many successful updates soon :thumbdown:
