Last night I invited my sisters and their husbands out for what I called my last supper. My 2 week pre-op begins today... And all day yesterday I had the feeling that I was going away somewhere like an extended trip or moving out of town, it was the strangest thing. I woke up this morning with stomach in knots but totally purpose driven. I can't believe after all this time I'm 2 weeks out.

I know the feeling :-) almost there

Hi, there!

I so know the feeling! I start my 2-week pre-op diet on Monday...surgery 3/1! WOO HOO!!!!

I'm on my 3rd day pre op and today I feel better than I did the first 2 days :-) each day gets a little easier

I'm hoping that's the case, that it gets easier over time ... What sucks major is that we're having Valentine's Day parties tomorrow (I teach) and I've been begging my kids not to bring me anything ... But I know chocolate will surround me haha

I vividly remember the last day before starting my rigorous 1 month pre-surgery liver shrinking weight loss program. For lunch I went to Cici's pizza chowing down on the "all you can eat buffet, and for supper I showed up at Furr's Cafeteria and had their all you can eat buffet. I had a chicken fried steak, pan fries, coconut pie, jalapeno cornbread, mashed potatoes, and a diet coke . I went out with a bang. Now, 6 months later, most of that type of food doesn't even interest me. I don't miss it, but I'm glad I got it out of my system. I haven't had a carbonated drink since then either

Where did you go? Brazilian steakhouse for me. Good luck with pre-op. The liquids really help control cravings so even if you weren't asked to do liquid, give it a shot!

@BobbyD Its funny that you ate all that crap and had a DIET coke

This weekend I will have my last supper before pre surgery diet. I am not sure what I will have but I will cheat a little I am sure. It will probably have bread and gravy as part of it.

I think all of us got that feeling (: it is quite an adjustment and a trial and error process but I promise, it will all be worth it!

Did you have your surgery yet?

Last night I invited my sisters and their husbands out for what I called my last supper. My 2 week pre-op begins today...

Congratulations!!!

I'm on my 3rd day of the liquid diet, my surgery is on Tuesday the 23rd

I went to Outback Steakhouse (I'm a fiend for their chicken pasta), added a little steak, some wings, a few drinks... It was awesome. My first day I decided to do all liquids and so far so good

When do you have to do the protein diet?

My last supper was actually breakfast with my daughter at IHOP and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to have pancakes one last time
