Hi everyone.

Anyone else having the op in April?

Yay! I found my April buddies! I am new to the site, please add me!

I am scheduled for surgery on April 11th. Looks like I will have a good group of friends to journey with on this long, long, winding road. Lol

I started the pre-op liquid fast today. 4 shakes a day, Optifast shakes (EW!). These taste nasty, but they're the only thing the doctor allows his patients to drink.

I've only been doing this for a few hours and I want a basket of onion rings and extra ranch.

cccv4,

welcome mad good luck! So you can only have shakes all day? Today I was tested, I went out to dinner with my friend and daughter and while they indulged in delicious looking food, I munched on celery and waited for my light choice steak meal to come. It was well worth the wait. I really want popcorn right now.

Yep, only shakes. I feel like I am an addict in detox! Lol! Good for you for resisting!

I meant "and" good luck. Lol the kids at the table next to us had chocolate molten cake....omg I wanted it.

So many Aprilites.

So close all ... Like I said 22nd and I'm so excited.

Woo hoo! I have 13 days more and it feels like it's sooooo far away!

I am April 1st. Two and a quarter days left. I am nervous but so ready. Did some house cleaning and arranged all my stuff on a shelf in the pantry so I don't have to bend down a lot. Tomorrow I will pack my bag for the hospital.

Theluckydog ...all liquids? Oh man. Good luck!

I'm also on all liquids for 2 weeks. THIS SUCKS!!! I've been chewing on the same piece of gum for HOURS. I want that candy they had on Charlie and the chocolate Factory, where different flavors of gum resemble different plates of food. Lol

Lucky!!! I feel like I haven't lost any weight. I'm following directions, except today I had a few pieces of pork rinds. That can't be that bad because they are absolutely zero carbs. My boss looked at me today and could tell that I'm feeling weak. He asked if I was ok, and I told him yes. He also asked what's wrong. I told him I'm on a new diet for the next few weeks, and he told me that he sees me weak and not as energetic, and that it is impacting my work ethic. I wish my doctor would allow me to at least have one small high Protein meal to get some more energy.
