Best wishes everyone! Im sleeved and feeling ok...cant wait to get better.

Woot! Woot! Congrats to us all . Monday for me! Hope everyone is doing great !!

I have everything ready, just waiting on a call from surgeons office. When I spoke with the nurse yesterday she said we were looking at Jan, 28th or 30th....I can't wait! The dr. office had sent the wrong surgery code to my insurance, so yesterday they were suppose to send the right code and when they get the okay they will schedule me for my last two visits before surgery..!

I'm on the Jan 13th, can't wait!

Just had a visit with my primary. gained 6 lbs???? I'm on a liquid diet, how is that even possible? Hope it goes down before my final meeting with the surgeon on Monday. Surgery Wednesday!

Hmmmm, what kind of liquids? How is your salt intake? And could it be hormonal?

salt intake is probably a little high since i'm making my own stocks to drink rather than the canned stuff. but I'm drinking a ton of liquids to counteract the salt. Who knows. Maybe just not enough. thinking about cutting down to 2 protein shakes instead of 3. Still less than the 5 they want me to drink

Make sure to verify the carb count on the protein shakes. My surgeon requires less than 5 carbs per shake. He also requires I use non-fat or 1% milk to make them with. Salt can definitely make you retain water. How much water do they want you to drink. I'm supposed to be at 100 oz a day. Ugh. I find using the Mio and Dasani water flavors help a lot if you aren't a big water drinker.

01/17/2013 if this cold clears up by Monday! I'm just blessed its not the flu.

Ok...my scale was up 4 lbs today from yesterday and I am on all clear liquids right now. I truly believe it is all water because I am afraid of getting dehydrated because I had to take a laxative to prepare the bowels. Well, things really got "moving" so I started drinking more water.

I'm sure it's just the water and/or sodium you have consumed.

Good luck!
