5 more days till my surgery....

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing well.

I just wanted to check in and let you know, I'M ALMOST THERE.

I actually thought this pre-diet would have been alot harder, but I'm doing okay.. better each day...

Have a great weekend and I will keep you all posted.

I go in on Nov. 23rd @ 11:30am... I wonder when I will be home???

Cheers....

Doriana:)

Hey Doriana,

Good for you!! If we can survive the pre-op diet, we can survive anything!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Your doing great Doriana, you should be very proud and excited!!! I'm not very familiar with TLBC, but others will be on later that will know.

Good for you Doriana.....keep it up! Believe me when I say this....I own a fine dining restaurant, I spend 14 hours / day here and we live above the restaurant...even my refridgerator and cupboards in the apartment store restaurant food....so, If I could make it through the pre and post op diet.....then there is absolutely NO EXCUSE why anybody else can't.

Good luck Sweetie...they will treat you very nice at TLBC, you have nothing to worry about.

I was little weak last night, since I didn't have anything to eat. I had a wine and cheese gathering for my friends, but I made it throught the night.

Are you allowed coffee post diet???

Have a great weekend.

Ciao for now.

Yay you Doriana....only four more days now!!!! You are almost there!!! Then soon you will be on here seeking advice for post-op stuff (diet etc)...and then you'll be GIVING advice to others like a pro!!

Yes, doriana, I drank coffee after surgery, but I think I waited about a week. I just didnt want to irratate my stomache lining.

i had coffee the next day, doctor said i could, tommorow is my last day of liquids :clap2: 17 days no cheating.

Hi Cloe,

I'm doing great.... Yes, it's only 3 more days to go. I'm excited and nervous, but I think that's normal.

How do you drink after wards? Is it 40 min, before eating or after......Sorry, I know it's a stupid question.

I will post alot more..... It's great this Cdn. thread.....

Thanks again for your support.

Doriana

It varies by Dr., but personally, I'll drink up until I'm ready to eat, and wait 45min-1 hour after. (that is when I think about it, and unless I HAVE to have a drink sooner!)

Good luck, Doriana! Let us know when you get home, as soon as you can!

And, oh yeah... I got to the clinic at 9:30-ish, I went in for surgery at about 10:30, and left by 1pm. They didn't rush me out, I'm sure I could have stayed much longer, but I was in a weird "I gotta get outta here!" mood! I was up and putting on my pants the second the nurse gave them to me (got in trouble, cause she was supposed to help!)

Just think Doriana (as if you haven't already!!! LOL) just a measly THREE more sleeps!!!!

You must be quite excited by now Doriana. I hope it all goes well for you. Can you let me know how it went when you get home and feel like it? Thanks.

Hey guys,,,

Yes, I'm getting so excited now. The clinci just called me to remind me of what to do, and not to eat after midnight.. So, it's for real now.... I just can't wait.

I will post ASAP when I get home..

Thank you to all for your wonderful suppot.
