Hello everyone!

I just joined this forum after doing an internet search...and it looks like everyone here has some great stories and advice!

I have surgery tomorrow...and I'm nervous as heck!!

I'm 29 years old, live in California, married and have a 7 year old daughter.

My highest weight was 293, staring weight before liquid diet was 292 and I weighed in yesterday to get my "final" pre surgery weight at 277...boy did I struggle with that. The liquid diet was so hard, but it got easier.

Finally registered at the hospital as well, they didn't say I couldn't eat...just not past midnight..wondering if I should have a "last meal"....haha.

Well, that's pretty much it. I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. Hope the pain isn't too bad after surgery. I've had a c-section before and that was painful!

Thanks!

Welcome! My surgery is on Thursday and I am on all Clear liquids tomorrow. I am going to miss my Protein shakes as I have gotten used to those being on the liquid diet. I wouldn't have a "last supper" if I were you just because I wouldn't want anything to get in the way of you having a successful surgery.

Best of luck tomorrow!!!

Congrats! Wishing you the best of luck tomorrow

Welcome and congrats! I wouldnt have the last meal, just in case. I only had to do a two day liquid before surgery...thank goodness! Best of luck to you...keep us posted when you can.

Congrats! We all wish you well.

P.S. About the "not eating past midnight" thing, it's a little late in the day now but I'd advise fasting for the rest of the day. It shouldn't be an issue operation wise but if you're like me and a host of others you have a tendency to get constipated after anesthesia, and take my word for it, it is NOT pleasant to bear down and push hard to go after abdominal surgery.

Wishing you the best of luck tomorrow. I hope everything moves smoothly, and you have a speedy recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us updated on how things are going when you are up to it.

Wishing you the best tomorrow! We have the same stats almost. I was 294 before surgery and 279 at the time of surgery!! GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS!

Congrats to you. Wish you well and welcome to the site.

Yayyy you'll do great

Good Luck tomorrow !!
