Surgery is tomorrow! Nervous, scared and excited all at once

A lot of emotions, my only fear is something going wrong in surgery

Hello. Of course everyone has a different plan to follow, so I will tell you mine.

On the day of surgery, I weighed in at the hospital at 196. From June 16 - Oct 7, during a supervised weight loss program with SoCal Kaiser, I went from 225 to that 196 (29 lbs).

On days 0 - 3, day 0 being the day I came home from the hospital (Oct 8 - Oct 11), I was on Clear liquids only. I lost 5 lbs., from 196 to 191.

On day 4 (Oct 12), I did not weigh myself, but this was the first day of all liquids (clear or not). I also had my first bowel movement and I hit over 60 grams of Protein.

Today is day 5 for me (Oct 13), I weighed myself and it shows 189.0.

In total, I am down 7 lbs. from surgery day, following a liquid only diet.

I will continue to be liquid only for 9 more days, then soft foods can be added.
