well ive made it through 14 days of a liquid diet ( minus a couple of mishaps early in) and have lost 12lbs (my nut wanted me to lose 9lbs) and tomorrow is the big day! Off to sleep now (if I can sleep) and in a few mere hours I'll be on the losers bench! Im so looking forward to my new life ♡

Only 23 hours til surgery. I am strangely calm about this. I'm more worried about getting my house ready for the company coming in to help me after surgery. Most of my family doesn't know because I didn't want anyone to spill the beans to my grandmother, she'd literally worry herself sick, but I've thought about making some calls home just to say "hey, I love you", just in case.

34 hours.....so close....so much to do in such a short period of time.

I hope I don't die. :|

Of course I won't die.....just having anxiety lol.

You will be fine! You got this girl!!! You have made it this far and that is impressive! Prayers and many hugs to ya!!

Prayers for all of the surgeries tomorrow. We are waiting here on the bench for you cheering. My doc said 2 weeks liq. 2 pureed. 2 soft then real food. I can't stand not chewing puree makes me want to hurl. So I am slowly trying fork tender things, chewing them into paste and going super slow. No problems yet. Thank goodness.

My dr said its 2 weeks clear liquid, 2 weeks full liquid then puréed then soft. Try some black beans puréed w a little light sour cream. They taste good:).

I'm all set up in my hospital room, admission paperwork done ( lovely nurses), TED stockings on, quick chat to surgeon, now waiting to be wheeled into theater. ...exciting!! (ok..im also pretty nervous too).
