Way to go Stacie! I am also sleeving Monday' date=' 4/23 at 11am in Charlotte, NC. Here is a tip: Isopure drinks from GNC work well in Jello, just use it in lieu of the cup of cold water.....mix and match the flavors to add Protein to jello for that first week, could also use Gatorade 3 which has protein ;)[/quote']

That's a great idea! I don't know if I can find a gnc today. Hmmm. I'm on all Clear Liquids today and starving. We are out at the zoo and of course they have no jello or broth. LOL. My parents really have me second guessing the surgery. They are fully against this and think I'm being irresponsible by taking such an "unnecessary" risk. I'm really in a bad place at the moment.

April 24 here, I'm excited and just a wee bit nervous. I just weighed myself, WOW Ive lost 16 pounds!! I reached my pre op goal of being 210!!

Now anything else until Tuesday is just a bonus!

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I thought for sure I would faint from lack of food at work, but I hung in there. On a few days while working, I only had time to drink one shake and sip some water!! I'm a charge nurse and have been very short staffed, so short in fact, my boss, the DON asked me a week before my LOA if I could postpone my surgery!! I was like is this a late April fool's joke, cause it ain't funnyI said, uh no sorry Im leaving see you in 3 weeks! Sheesh, I just pray all is well for them, but now, it's my time to take care of me!

I am getting excited!!! I am scheduled tomorrow at 3:30 pm. The pre-op diet is going well. I am having a hard time getting in all 40 grams of Protein. I am just not that hungry. I am nervous about tomorrow though. No Water or anything after 8 am. I live on water. I wish every luck that is scheduled for the rest of the month.

I know we can do it!! It is a tool to help us with the rest of our lives :D

I'm scheduled for 10 tomorrow and am surprised how calm I am. Last week I was in a panic; this week cool and calm. Best of luck to all of you. We will be just fine. It will be interesting to share our experiences after the fact.

Good luck to everyone. My mom just got here and said that I need to change my mind and that I have not really thought this through. The last thing I need tonight (hospital at 530) is this stress, worry, and negativity. I'm so stressed.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
