Hello I was wondering If anyone has October Surgery dates and how are you feeling about it being right around the corner and how are u spendng your time now that the hard part is over ur approved and have your date

Let me just say that I went to Victorias Secret and bout two new pair of sexy undies and I have them on my dresser where I can see them....ha! #cantwaitforthatday!

That's exactly the way I feel! I guess it's normal then?!?!?

Lol!!! I guess so!!! This surgery consumes my mind all day long. I think about it non-stop. I'm so tired of worrying all day about it but I'm so scared to have the surgery too!!!

@anume I'm the same way I think about the good as well as the bad. It just can't get here fast enoght for me. Lol

What is your liquid diet??? X

Two week liquid diet, I can have up to four carnation instant breakfast no sugar added, broth,& sugar free jello or popsicles but only two a day

Surgery is Tuesday morning....any one else second guessing?

I second guess several times a day. Sometimes its something someone says, I think I can do it on my own, scared, already missing food, hungry but I come back to reality. I've struggled my entire life with weight and am fortunate to get this opportunity. A lot of people can't do it so that keeps me in perspective. We can do it!!! I think doubt I'd natural. Stay strong.

I second guess this surgery every single day! But.. its all because I am scared. Scared of the unknown. Am I going to be able to handle the pain? I think I have prepared myself for the life style changes. (My sister went through this 9 years ago, so I have witnessed the stresses of no food, etc) Then the next minute.. I remember how awesome she felt, how great she feels now, and how many times I went shopping with her for new clothes! I think if she can do it, I can too!

I have lost weight from this 2 week diet and I already feel great that I have committed to make this life style change. I am sooooo ready for a new ME! I can't wait to be able to keep up with the kids without my hips and feet hurting or being out of breath, I can't wait to fit into smaller clothes, I can't wait to go camping and boating next summer and not wear a moo moo! And just overall feel better about ourselves!! We all can do this!!

Preop, dietitian meeting, and last appt with surgeon on Tuesday, surgery Friday!! Bring it on!

Preop weight: 223

Same here. Not fast enough!!

Well those sexy undies keep getting sexier and sexier each time I walk by and look at them!!! WHOOT!!! We GOT this ladies!!!! Let's do tha dang thing!!!

On day 9 of my liquid diet and I'm starving. Want to give in and eat so bad!!!

Kat:

I was about to lose my mind on day 8 so I talked to my nutritionist who said it is ok to have a small chicken breast & small salad with 1 tbsp of vingerette dressing ONCE a day. She said that will not interfere with the liquid diet. I have been doing that for the past 4 days & it has really helped my hunger. You might want to give it a try. I've lost 8 lbs in the past 12 days. My surgery is Tuesday!

Surgery is Tuesday morning....any one else second guessing?

My surgery is Tuesday morning too! Yes, I couldn't sleep last night wondering if I'm making the right decision. I think it's perfectly normal to be second guessing because this IS a MAJOR life change. I just told myself to hush & that we WERE doing this! lol

Those that are looking forward to your surgery... I feel good 5 days out now and 8 lbs down. A recliner is a must! I couldn't get out of bed by myself unless I had several pillows under my head and back. Walking and breathing exercises are great helpers. I will advise you to have something you want to eat a couple days before surgery. When you get out you will be tired of eating liquid diet continued. I'm struggling today, but my sister and her hubby came over last night and they cooked one of my favorite meals which I said I was ok with, but it started at me. I guess I have to get my head back in the game. Just can't wait until I can eat some food.

Question I am getting the understanding that prior to surgery they put u on a liquid diet for two weeks is that true?

All surgeons are different but a majority of them DO require a 2 week liquid diet. Your surgeon should let you know if one is required.

My surgeon wants two days liquid

Mu surgeon requires one week but some say just 3-4 days that had same surgeon. I guess the surgeon determines individually what is needed
