Hi all my name is Lyndy Im from tx. 30yrs old single mom my daughter is 9 going on 29... im a dialysis nurse..my surg date is june 28..I'm on preop diet to shrink my liver soi get 2 protein shakes a day (I've managed 1 a day) and a lean meat with a double veggie and a piece of fruit. .omg its hard I'm in day three and this headache is horrible. .I think its from the lack of sugar..carbs..caffeine etc.. and last night my stomach was growling so loud and forcefully It was like being pregnant again..

Its hard and I'm suffer in silence type..but it would be nice to have someone to talk to that understands I don't like to vent to my fam/friends because they ALL tried to talk me out of surgery..I've wanted this for at least 8 yrs its really real now...anyone feeling lonely like me??

im on day 2 of a 8 week Optifast liquid diet. i get 3 shakes 3 Soups and 1 bar a day. Dont like the chocolate bars so im not eating them anymore. Day 1 was rough on me. I had a piece of chicken and a serving spoon of mac and cheese. I felt really bad yesterday. Today was AWESOME.....im allowed 2 cups of cucumbers as well.

So i have 58 more days to go. I just take one day at a time....Surgery is August 15, 2013

were all here for support.....i know i need it.....

Good Luck Everybody....

Ellajo I had my sleeve done by Dr. Treen at West Jeff Medical Center. Dr. Richardson removed my gallbladder..he's an awesome surgeon. Very nice bedside manner.

I'm glad to know Dr. Richardson is good
