Congratulations! The only advice I have for pre-op is stay strong, keep the willpower up and remember it's only a short period of time!

Congratulations!

Congrats!!!

Best advice...stay focused on the prize...the end results will be wonderful!! Also, the liquid and powder diet won't be as bad as you think...for the most part, you'll probably be more focused on the upcoming surgery than anything else.

Wishing you the very best success!!!

Congratulations! I'm on day 4 of the liquid diet and my advice is to get the premade ones. I can't imagine having to mix and stir right now. Keep it as simple and easy as possible because days 1 & 2 are hard but hang in there. You get this burst of energy day 3 and you'll feel better. My legs and knees have been aching and on day three I put my feet down and to my amazement, no pain!!

Also, I don't sit in my family room that's near the kitchen now. My grown daughter and her two children live with me so I have the luxury of not having to cook for a family so that helps. I come home in evenings and go to my room until they've eaten dinner and the kitchen is clean, which is until about 730. Then I come down and spend time with them and it's wonderful.

Stay strong, do whatever you have to do to make it through. We've come too far to fail now!

Best wishes to you!

Great upbeat advice, thank you everyone!
