So I went to Walmart today and was able to get the Hibiclens for 5.92 :)

I was wondering if it would b cheaper there. Is that a everyday soap?

That's about a dollar cheaper than I paid at Target. It's not an everyday soap...it's in the pharmacy.

My surgery date is October 8th. I start my liquid diet Sept. 24th and have to stay on it for two weeks. I am not looking forward to the liquids for that long and I'm scared I won't make it that long with just liquids. I will just have to keep reminding myself that I won't get the surgery if I don't stick to the liquid diet. I too, am cleaning my house (deep cleaning). I don't want to have to worry about that kind of stuff, even tho it will need dusting and vacuuming before I am able. I went through my cabinets, fridge, and freezer and got rid of all the foods I can't have. My poor cabinets are now bare. Fridge is cleaned out and filled with Muscle Milk Light, jell-o and bottled Water. I wish everyone all the best in their new adventure finding the healthy you! May God be with all!

Goodmorning all. Im new and spend more time reading blogs that participating.

I have been working toward the RYN since January this year. I finally have a surgery date of 9/15, I am so excited and scared at the same time. My family is split in their feelings about me having surgery. My PCP ,best friend are all on board. My husband is the basic - what-ever-you-want-to-do-honey.

My tipping point to have the surgery was my knees finally wearing out and the constant pain. My kids bought me a cane as a joke and were shocked when i really started to use it.

My job involves a lot of walking and by the time I get home Im done for the day.

Why are you having to do a month of the liquid diet? I suppose if you can do a month, I can surely do two weeks. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm new to this site and not sure if this will go through...but I hope you will stay in touch especially since we have the same surgery date...I am 3rd up...so they say I will go in around 8:30.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
