I feel like I am at a stand still and I'm hoping I haven't messed things up for me. I say go big or go home. We got this!!

I wanted to wish all of you good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Hope your liquid diet went ok. I also wanted to wish you a smooth and non complicated recovery. Please keep us posted on how you're doing....and I'll do the same.

So far I'm still excited, not nervous yet. However, I think I'm getting a sore throat. I wonder if they'll cancel my surgery???? What do you all think?

Thanks

I don't think they'll cancel it. I'm guessing you'll have some sort of an antibiotic before or afterwards. Good luck

Thank you so much @@kvoneye

I so agree! I am day 6 preop. I would kill for roasted chicken. I am totally not craving sweets. Between the shakes and bars I am over sweets!!! Hang in there! I have 8 more days. It is taking so much willpower and prayer. We went to a party yesterday with food and drinks.... Ummm I survived and felt so strong about it. It was a day and I keep thinking this is TEMPORARY. I will get to eat again!

I keep telling myself that too. I'm 3 days away from surgery. Not craving any sweets. It's the chicken. I am a meat eater but I usually eat lean white meat. However, I think since my body knows I'm changing the routine, it craves everything I shouldn't be eating. @ I could totally go for some roasted chicken too! But like @@kvoneye said "We Got This!"

I thought I was the only one going through this. . .

What struggling through preop diet?

@@chavonjb it's tough. My surgeon's staff said it was the first few days that are rough, but for me the whole 2 weeks are almost unbearable. I know I shouldn't be complaining because it's a means to an end, and a life changer for the better, but the struggle through prep is REAL!! You are not alone.

So far so good for me today, but it's only 10am so I have all day. I've been drinking fluids every 15 mins or so plus the popcicles in the freezer. I woke up in the middle of the night and started wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Then I asked myself, if I were to cancel the surgery, would I be able to stop eating and lose the 90 pounds I have to lose,and the answer was no. I know for a fact I'd go right back to eating any and everything. So now I ask myself if I'm ready for a new me and I say yes I am!!Now I don't struggle quit so much with Turning 50 in Dec.!! Good luck to those struggling and to those having surgery today. We got this!!
