Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

I never knew green jello was so good

Just green jello

The left side pain is still pretty bad but everything else is manageable. I feel okay' date=' tired of liquids too!! Especially with the two weeks prior liquid diet, now this. I am on the full liquids but it is the shakes that I am struggling with. Are you getting them down okay? I think it hurt when it was cold.[/quote']

Unfortunately I can only have broth and jello and Popsicles for the next few days. I am dying for a protein shake lol. I feel like that might at least give me a full feeling. I haven't experienced the problem with the cold stuff. I do wonder whether I am truly hungry or just feel that way watching food commercials and lying next to my fully stocked kitchen all day long!

I finally got approved and am set for surgery April 23rd.

I am starting week 3 of the optifast liquid diet. 4 shakes a day and only water' date=' chicken broth or diet jello. Surgery next Friday 26th. Have lost 17 lbs so far but am so surprised that I am not starving. Getting more nervous regarding surgery but am also excited. Fingers crossed.[/quote']

Oh my goodness! I feel like if you can endure three weeks of that you can endure anything:)

I never knew green jello was so good

Lol I'm trying to get use to green jello. As a child during the holidays a family member always made a jello salad that my mom insisted that we eat. Now I'm not talking about a yummy jello salad with fruit. Nope it was green jello with pieces of lettuce carrots and nuts! So gross! So when they brought me green jello at the hospital I was like do you have any other colors lol

I finally got approved and am set for surgery April 23rd.

Yay! Congratulations:) that's so close and I bet you're super excited!

I have not eaten this many popsicles since i was in high school.

Lol I know right. At the hospital they had the most delicious Popsicles. There were white ones that tasted like piña coladas and blue ones that tasted like some other tropical drink. I asked them where they were from and they did not know. They were soo good! I haven't been able to find any like them...

Hi all sitting up. Lots of pain no liquids yet

I asked for a cup of water and an empty cup. I would swish my mouth out and then spot the water out. It helped some.
