I GOT MY SURGERY DATE FOR 7-15!!! Super excited. Did the 6 mo program....and its finally almost my turn! I gotta have a filter put in for blood clots on 7-10. Then im on my journey!!! I start my diet on 7/5/14. I am super stoked.

So please tell me someone else is gonna be my surgery buddy?

*praying for a buddy*

I'm schedule for July 16!

The 16th is my daughters 20 th bday!!!

I am on day one of my diet. I have a filter scheduled for thurs and then surgery on the following tues.

I swear to God I feel like I could starve to death! I have been doing this surgery prog for 6 mos. And I'm down to 212lbs. I just cant wait to get back to me! Oh so much excitement!

And nerves of steel!!! Then cryin cause I'm feeling deprived. Ugh. Feel so bipolar!!

So happy to hqve such a great group of surgery buddies!! Ty all so much for being my surgery pals. We are going to grow so close in the time to come.

Mine is the 14th

I have surgery on the 14! Super excited and nervous all at the same time! !!! Half way through the liquid diet. It hasn't been as bad as I was expecting but I'm worried about getting tired of the protein drinks the second week!!

I am glad it hasn't been hard for you. Yesterday was my test if I could do it.. I went to a cook out/ clam bake

Mine is the 14th

Have u started the diet? Its brutal! I have 4 kids and a dh. They had steak for dinner....and I was eating a salad wish like heck it was steak! Lol

So happy to have great surgery buddies!!

Hi, I have been on liquids for a week now. If the smell of food gets to strong for me I take a walk

I would love to have a salad right now! I would love to have a chick pea! LOL! I can't get over some of the diets other drs use.

Hi, I have been on liquids for a week now. If the smell of food gets to strong for me I take a walk

I went to my ml house today and had to leave.....food smelled so good. Just made things worse. Ugh.

I think my biggest problem is coming off the caffine. I am having horrible headaches and feel really sluggish. Its almost like a head fog or haze if that makes sense. I have 0 energy. Anyone else experiencing this? Or am I weird?

I didn't come off caffeine....I need to check to see if I was supposed to. I know I needed to after surgery but I didn't know before too!

=/

My surgery is 7/17! On day 4 of the liquid diet. Can't wait to get it over with and on to my new way of life! ????

Misty,

I weaned myself off soda when I first started all this back in feb, yes it is normal. Stay strong

I stopped drinking soda a long long time ago but I still drink a cup of coffee a day. I checked my diet and I didn't have to stop it for the liquid diet but I think I will have to stop after surgery.

I will probably try and do one day caffeine, next day decaf, so on and so forth.

That's a great idea.. I am not a coffee drinker. Sorry I couldn't help much
