Hi folks. I just got my surgery date and it's April 29. I'm so excited, and thought I'd have to wait a lot longer. Sadly, I also got the stomach flu-- maybe it'll help me be ready for the liquids though!

I wish I were in the UK! I spent three weeks in London last year, and never wanted to leave. I'm in the Pacific Northwest, in a city near Seattle. You?

Oh my word I'd love to visit Seattle my friend came out there 2 years ago and said it was amazing!

I'm in North England about 30mon car journey from Newcastle!

I'm so nervous for next Tuesday now, I'm not telling anyone apart from my folks, my husband and 1 friend! You?

Nervous some, but excited far more! The only ones who know are my husband, two adult daughters and my sister. I told my mum, but she's in the early stages of Alzheimer's and doesn't remember from day to day. I'm just not wanting to do anything to invite too much conversation about it or unsolicited opinions really.

Yes, Seattle is beautiful and not unlike England in weather and climate. It was dry all day today, but the sun never made it through the trees where I took my hike today, so I got quite muddy in spite of the sunshine. I'm not sure where Newcastle is, but my trip took me to South Witham/Grantham for a few days - so lovely!

I'm 8-10 days into the pre-op diet now, and more than last week I'm having head-hunger. Anyone else? It's making me nuts!! I bought some SF Jello but that's just not helping. Aurgh.

Congrats to you Webhopper! And best of luck to you KeedyGettingWaisted! (WAY cute sign-in name by the way!!)

Tomorrow is The Day!! 1030am!! Very excited to start a healthier life!

Good luck & best wishes! X

My pre op has been 3 weeks of 1000cals no or very low carbs n fats and plenty protein!

Not to bad really as eating plenty chicken salad eggs etc to get too hungry!

6 days left!!!

I'm here to check in. I got discharged today at noon. I still cant get over how full I feel just from drinking a few ounces of Water.

I made me a smoothie with Greek yogurt; whole milk; and pineapple chunks and I'm drinking that. So far so good; its staying down.

At what point do I need to try to push for 50 g of Protein?

:-)))) you feeling ok? X

Yes I'm doing better today. I started aiming for some Protein intake.

I added a tablespoon of strawberry sorbet Protein powder into some very tunny oatmeal and ate half a package of oatmeal for lunch and Breakfast. For dinner I had 4 oz of potato Soup taken two oz at a time over 2 hours and I had added half a scoop of chicken flavored protein from unjury and kept that down.

My downfall today was a cough that happened at 530 this morning followed by a searing pain near one of my incisions. It seriously hurt so bad I was almost in tears and I had my husband check to see if anything had ripped open and he said no. Anyways; that cough upped my pain for the day but I was able to go walk 2 times for 20 minutes each time and ive been up and about in the house. Ive been taking my pain medicine to keep the pain at a bearable state.

One thing ive discovered in the evening hours is that something that felt like hunger didn't go away after eating the potato soup today but it did go away after eating some tums. So stomach acid can feel like hunger.. I remember reading that but now I know what they are talking about.

Sounds fairly positive then I'm 3 days away from op and getting very very nervous/anxious!

All prepped and wait to go in. Looking forward to the anesthesia, so it will be all over when I wake.
