Hello I have been following this support group and with only 2 days to go prior my sugery, I am finally posting. I have been on the pre op liquid diet for 1 week and so far so good. I was anxious to know the process and my nutritionist suggested using Ketone test strips to verify once I was in the Ketosis stage. It made a huge difference once I confirmed I was indeed in this stage. It increased my motivation and the Ketosis stage has been awesome. I will be having surgery on Wednesdays and once I am given the all clear (@4 weeks) I will be moving to Singapore for a 2 year work assignment. This surgery is truly a new beginning and I can't wait!

Singapore and WLS! That's a lot of changes - good luck and keep posting. Let us know when you get out of surgery. Happy EARLY Re-Birthday!

Thank you Jane13. Just doing final packing and off to the hospital we go!
