I just want to say to everyone that is having their surgery soon! Keep positive thoughs. That's what I have been doing so I am not so scared about my surgery now. Stay Positive, Stay Positive.

WEIGHT 239

Wish me Luck my big day for my sleeved surgery is 9/28/10 @ 2:00

Weight now is 239

GOOD LUCK TO YOU! You will be just fine. Stay positive and think of the future when you start to wonder what you did to yourself. The first few days aren't easy, but as time goes on it gets better and better!

I have to reschedule my surgery for October 14 because I had a salad. 3 days before surgery so I have to wait. I was struggling on my liquid diet. :thumbup: But I am back on track now.

I was wondering, what kinda pre op do you have to do I was told that i thought it was just the liver shrinking diet low carb diet

How long do you have to just drink fluids?

Oh wow PA... really? That does seem kind of harsh for a salad. However, trust in your surgeon that s/he knows what he's doing. I'm sure there's good reasons in what they're doing.

Hugs! If anything this will keep you on track 100% now, huh? It's only 2 weeks... you can do anything for 2 weeks. After surgery you won't even think about food... LOL

The IV blows. That was probably the worst part. I was given a 4 hour window to pee or else they were going to give me a catheter. I made it n 3 hrs 45 mins.

Congrats on your surgery!!!! Glad you are ok and doing good! I didn't make my window, so you're already doing better than me... LOL!! :biggrin0:
