Guys and girls, just wanted everyone to know that the preop diet starts today! Agh!!!! Please wish me luck, I've had such hard times in the past staying on any kind of diet. . . this one is 2 EAS protein shakes and then my last meal consists of 2 oz protein and 1/2 cup of a vegatable. . . in between "meals" water. . . . I am telling myself "its temporary" and we're all in this together. . . together we can do this. . . God help me not be grumpy during this Christmas season! I started taking Sam-e to help with the moods this might cause! Thanks for listening all! I've my pre-op labs and such on the 17th! I'll post more later. . . thinks I may need you guys ALOT now. . . . love ya bunches!

I'm sooooooooooooooooooo excited for you, and I know that you'll fly through this pre-op diet ! ! ! Stay strong, and know that I'm here if you need anything.

Sending you good mood vibes ! ! !

Thinoneday, you can do this! The holiday season is going to distract you and it will be over before you know it. You're so close to surgery. Think about how great you're going to look next year for the holidays. You definitely can rock this!

You know creatinglee, I have that very same thought in the back of my head every day. . . "just think how i'll look next Christmas" my daughter thinks I'll not have a good Christmas this year, I tell her I will because my family is around me. . .(that includes all of you) . . .Thank you for your comments and yes, I can definitely rock this! I'm just a bit scared I think, I was thinking about asking my doctor if anyone ever chickened out. . . not that i'm going too. . . I've already spendt too much money on this thing (I'm self pay)

I started mine yesterday - it is tough, huh? I have to go and find some more protein drinks. THis list seems to be full of suggestions. I am going to try as many as I can pre-op, so that I know the ones I like the best for after the big day. What day is your procedure?
