Congrats Kimmy!

Thanks Holly! I'm on liquids too ): I have two business dinners this week and I'm going to have to order Soup and just not eat the "good stuff" It will be all worth it.

My surgery date is December 7th. Anyone scheduled on or near that date? I figure I'll be able to decorate the house and do my shopping beforehand, then be in pretty good shape by the time Christmas rolls around.

My surgery is scheduled for 12/15. I start my pre-surgery liquids on 12/1. I am currently on 2 Protein shakes/day with one meal. So far, so good.

D'oh, I'm the only one who'll be on a 2 week liquid diet during Christmas?

I have to watch my family fill their faces with turkey, dressing and Desserts.

No. My surgery is 12/15. I will be on liquids 2 weeks prior and 3 weeks after.

I have mine sometimes in December I have my last appointment with my Surgeon in December the 8th. I should have a concrete date for my sugery after meeting with the sugeon. Is anyone out there as scattered as me.. One minute I am thinking in my head wow this is the best thing that I could do for my self and the next minute I think what the world am I thinking about doing. Then I think I need to do this for my health. I just stay in right field and I don't get many balls hit towards me...LOL

I have asked myself the same questions. I was come back to it is the right decision, healthier for me and my kids. For the past 16 years I have just gained and gained and gained and I am done. Yo-yo diets and diet pills, I am so done with it. I am on day 3 of my liquid diet and this is the hardest thing I've done. I feel like I am going through withdrawals, like a drug addict. I just keep telling myself it will all be worth it and I will be able to do more things with my kids, things I've never been able to do before! Good luck

Hi all. Just got insurance approval yesterday so the final hurdle has been cleared. December 14th is my date. I start my liquid diet in 4 days. It's funny as I was nervous about getting approval from insurance, now I'm nervous about the fact that I'm really having this surgery.

Hi Stacy,

I am definately getting nervous and jittery, too. I keep being afraid I will get on the table and start to scream "Help, get me out of here. I can't do this!"

But my husband just took my "before" pictures tonight and when I looked at them, it was sure confirmation that this is what I need to do.

Are you doing a pre-op diet? Because my BMI is relatively low, I do not have to do one. I just need to be on liquids for two days prior to surgery. So that means I have two days of eating normally and that's it. Make sure to message me after your surgery and let me know how you are doing. Maybe we can touch base the night before, too.

I go from being nervous to totally excited. I can't believe the time is almost here. Good luck everyone. Can't wait to see what 2011 brings for us! I wonder how we will feel a year from now...hopefully we will have all new wardrobes!

Hi! my surgery date is Dec 13 in Regina SK Canada. I'm 5 days into my 2 week pre-surgery liquid diet and struggling. I'm tired of just drinking fluids and am hungry all the time. How are you doing?

Hi!

My surgery is Dec. 27 in San Diego. It still seems a ways away but I know the time will fly. What are you doing to prepare for surgery, as far as stocking up on foods, Vitamins, Protein Shakes, etc?

[Sissy 0]

No. My surgery is 12/15. I will be on liquids 2 weeks prior and 3 weeks after.
