It was ok. Alf cup of dressing (if that much) & a nice slice of white turkey breast, chewed and ate very slow and savored it! I agree, worst day so far, but was so worth it. Hope I keep the sinus congestion away and tick on until 7 am MONDAY!!!!!

I enjoyed a chocolate mint shake in the morning, drank a cup of chicken bullion while the family ate turkey, and had no problem sticking to my liquid diet. I will be really glad when I get to eat again! I hope y'all had a merry Christmas!

Getting a cold! Coughing, little sinus drainage and slight sore throat. Praying it goes away and doesn't affect my surgery! I have tried to stay away from everyone so I wouldn't catch anything, .... just my luck!!!!! Send up some prayers!

. I am having some of the same issues! Not sure what to do! Can we take any meds? Are u gonna call the doc? Ugh. I don't want this to affect my surgery!

My Dr office closed at noon Christmas Eve and won't be open again until Mon. (but not before I have to be at hospital). Just trying the zinc losenges (NASTY) and Vitamin C drops and stay hydrated. I don't think my Dr will allow anything but Tylenol and that's not going to help!

I feel better today than yesterday for sure. It's mostly when I 1st wake up I trying to clear the drainage. My Dr is almost 3 hrs away so we are leaving Sunday and going to spend the night in a hotel. I think I am going to prop up to sleep that night and then before going to the hospital, get a nice hot shower and use one of those effervescent shower things. Used one this morning and it was HEAVEN!

Scheduled 12/29/14...I was given my surgery date on 12/19/14 and now on a 1000 calorie diet. I was told to do this in order to shrink the liver. I'm not sure if I've done well or not. For Christmas dinner, I ate a little more than I probably should, but I'll do all liquids for the next few days. I've heard stories of the surgent going in and the liver being too big to operate, so either the patients was closed up and sent back home to lose more weight, or the surgent did a complete open procedure. I dont watn either...I'll weigh myself tomorrow.

I'm a little nervous about all of it..more so going under... <_< :unsure:

But I'm excited..

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
