It has finally hit me that in less than 2 weeks I'll be having the surgery. So many emotions and I don't know how to handle them. Trying to keep busy especially since I've been on the liquid diet for 2 days now. It's going good considering I'm drinking every 2-3 hours. I never knew that broth tastes so good :) The one thing I'm not used to is getting up 2-3 times a night to use the bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol. I'm on one kidney, so I'm used to using the bathroom at least twice a night. But with all the Water I've been drinking lately, I think I pee more than I sleep! :-) I think its starting to hit us all. I'm getting so nervous and can't stop researching before and after pics. Ugh, May, just get here.

I'm doing the same thing. I got a binder from my surgeon as to what will happen after the surgery regarding food. I have been researching everything I can puree. So far I have a few ideas!

May is going to be a great month :)

I'm finding that most of us having the surgery have to do a liquid diet before the surgery. What is the purpose of this....my doctor doesn't have me on it.[/quote']

The liquid diet is to help shrink your liver so it easier for them to work on you

Ya, my surgeon says our pre op diet is to shrink the liver for easy access to do it laparoscopic. So, you are correct. :-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
