Haha I completely understand! I was the same way about the certain thing. Lol. My date is the 20th and I'm on day 2 of the liquid diet. Good luck with everything!

How are you doing? I'm finding the liquids to not be too bad!

So, I had my preop appointment on Friday, and the doctor said nothing special for preop, just nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before. I'm diabetic, so must eat a light meal before bed. I know like almost everybody has a preop diet. But I should listen to my doctor, right??? I got all the tests run, got my body wash for the three day wash prep. Now I wait. Four more days!

You can do it! You should definitely listen to your doctor. Everyone's doctor had different requirements. You'll do great! :-)

Surgery date 04/20/2015! Been on pre-op diet for 8 days now. Not to hard. Had an EKG on the 9th of April at the Hospital I am having surgery. My primary Dr. called this a.m. to tell me there was some concerns with my EKG and wants me to have an echo-cardiogram (ultra sound) because with out this he will not release me for surgery. He could not be sure if he could get me scheduled for this in time before my surgery date. I cried when I got of the phone. This just one of the reasons to have this surgery is to be healthy, now my heart! Anybody else have issues with physical before surgery?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
