Doesn't having a date make it seem more real? Congrats!

Yes, i still can't believe I'm getting a 2nd chance at life

I feel the same way!!

Yay! Before you know it...you'll be the new you!

Congrats Jeanette, I know how you feel I had my pre op yesterday and my surgery will bee on July 11th

Is it normal to be nervous and emotional about everything? Or am I worrying for nothing?

I feel like a ball of emotions! My surg is July 11 and I am excited and emotional. This liver shrink diet has me totally crazy. It's not that hard but influences(coworkers) saying hey let's get burgers for lunch, doesn't help. I've been strong but it is still tough. Hubby had his surg tues and it went great smooth sailing. He said his most pain was the first night. But he has been doing great! No pain, eating puréed, drinking, everything! I'm so proud of him and watching him has me more calm about my surg. Ladies we r gonna do great just don't let the emotions get the best of us!

Hang in there!! It's great to hear that you sticking to the liquid diet! Just a little longer! Keep it up!

This preop diet is nuts for me too! 4 shakes a day and sugar free Clear liquids for 10 days. My kids had a pizza party last night an tomorrow is my daughters birthday party. Glad your husband is doing well!

Yes this 10 day shakes diet is the hardest thing I've ever done! I would rather have another kid....it would be so much easier and I had two bad ones!!! I'm 6days in...... I think they started me too early by 2 days lol. Oh my hubs made cheese toast this morning and I had to go outside in the heat it smelled so good. That is when I realized above all else bread is my absolute weakness.

I know exactly how you are feeling. We were on vacation the second week of my liver shrinking diet. It was so hard watching my daughters eat pizza and fried seafood. It was all worth it. I lost 20 lbs on the diet for a total of 53 leading up to surgery, and my surgery was on the 19th and it is going great. Stay strong and it will all be worth it.

Everything is normal

Went in yesterday morning for my EGD. I told my doctor my concerns and told her how extremely emotional I am about my"what ifs". I am so glad I did. She put me at ease real fast. (Her husband is 6 Weeks post op, and is also doing very well.) I really like my Dr., she is awesome and I believe her to be very genuine. EGD, went well BTW. All that is left now is to get final approval from the insurance company.
