I'm 14 days pre-op and started my liquid diet today. I hope the next two weeks goes by incredibly fast. I'm pretty nervous but also excited. My "support staff" (family, boyfriend, friends, personal trainer, surgeon, PCP) are all rooting for me, and it's helping me get through each day of the countdown. My boyfriend is doing the liquid diet with me (solidarity!), I hope we don't spend the next two weeks snapping at each other because we are "hangry" haha.

April 6, 2015 8AM, my life changes forever for the better!

If you need me, I'll be crying in the break room with a Jello cup (LOL)

Finishing up the pre op diet....surgery Wednesday. It went by quick for me. Just stay busy :-)

Thanks, that's the plan. I'm going to run errands on lunch so I don't have to see/smell foods. I cleaned out my fridge yesterday and took everything I can't have over to my parents' so it wouldn't be wasted. I'm sipping chicken broth and Water, I've already had one Protein shake and have two more for the rest of my work shift. Pffffft, mind over matter, right? LOL

Hi Ashlee! I look forward to meeting you this week at the support group and finding out how you're doing on day 3 of the liquid diet. I'm afraid that the liquid diet is going to be tough for me, so I can't wait to find out how it's working for you. I'm hoping the next two weeks go by fast for you too.

It looks like I'm almost exactly one month behind you. My surgery is scheduled for May 7th!!

Hello everyone!

@@meSparkle83

Day one was horrible. I had headaches and zero energy and went to bed early.

Day two was better, I even went for a run yesterday evening.

Today is day 3. Just counting them down...

@ blashlee what day do you go in for surgery?

I'm counting them down with you.

Are you ready for Monday?

Day 3 (yesterday) was harder because I had a lab appt for which I had to be fasting. When I have those type of appts I try to get them out of the way, but I didn't have a choice in scheduling. They didn't see me til 12. So I had nothing but Water from rise til the appt. It threw off my day, from there I had to play catch up on my Protein intake and fluids. So in the later afternoon, I had that same low energy/cranky thing from day one. Blech. Only one more of those appointments, this Monday. Its at 9AM so hopefully that'll be a better day.
