33 days and counting!!!! Excited beyond words, dreading starting the liquid diet in 2 weeks. Who else is looking to change their lives in February?????

Pre Op today...all clear for surgery!!!

Well had my last meal for awhile...Tomorrow shake for breakfast and for lunch then the lovely magnesium citrate flush!!! Oh joy..

countdown has commenced.......Booyah

Yes this liquid diet is getting old. I have been on it over 2 wks and my Surg is now the 26th..... The docs office said they would like me to stay on it until then. My final pre-op appt is on the 22nd. The boost shakes and vitamin water and reg water is getting old.

And is it even healthy being on it for so long...? I need to speak to my dietician.

I am right there with you....I got lemon lime....the other magnesium crap was red and they said no red.....I hope I haven't gone through all this for nothing. I am so over this shake business, but not looking forward to puréed chicken either lol .... 1 day, 11 hours a and 51 min left to go

Try juicing with whey or Protein shakes w ice. Plus liquid or chewable Vitamins and supplements...I refuse puréed chicken and meets. Mashed potatoes and mashed refried Beans, cream of wheat, oatmeal and add whey...

Monken and I have a doc that wont let us eat yummy things like juice, potatoes or cereals......nothing but lean Proteins for the first 75% of weight loss. Fun fun fun.....but I guess that is motivation enough to get there I guess.....then we get veggies back right....woohoo....I'm going to miss artichokes and asparagus and oh so many things.

So frustrated.

My surgeon has had to pass me off to another Surgeon. And I'm supposed to have my surgery next Friday.

Now I need to meet with the new surgeon, and I have no idea if I am going to keep my surgery date or not.

Unfortunately I am out of the country on business so will have to wait till Monday to see the new guy.

Which is stressful. How am I supposed to start my per-op liquid diet this Wednesday when I don't even know when my surgery date will be.

I cannot even explain my frustration it's that huge!

Surgery went well..I'm in a lot of pain....but it isn't gas pains. Oddly, I don't have gas pain. Morphine is my friend right now haha.

That really sucks. Hopefully everything will work out. Why did he have to pass you off?

There was issues between the hospital and the medical aid/insurance.

So have to change hospitals and surgeons. Hopefully it will be the 19th now, but will have to wait and see. Meeting new Surgeon on the 11th then I will know more after that.
