As you prepare for tomorrow, just do what the doctors say, and walk, walk, walk. Whatever you do, walk. Blessings to you

Surgery is wednesday. I'm on day 6 of 7 pre op liquid diet and it's gotten much easier. The first two or three days were rough but its better now. I find when I drink my protein drinks that that fills me up pretty well and I drink the broth for dinner because it relaxes me for bed and then snack on jello and popsicles if I want. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm getting anxious for surgery but I'm so ready. I'm down 10 lbs just 5 days in this pre op liquid diet!!!! I haven't seen this number in a long long time and I'm really happy!

April Surgery Baddies our time has come!!!!

The 6th for me! I am so ready. I'm starting to feel comfortable on the liquid diet and I'm enjoying watching the scale go down. It makes all the agony in those first two days worth it.

Random question for those who have already gone through the surgery. How do you take your vitamins on an empty stomach? If I take vitamins on an empty stomach it makes me sick to my stomach and I don't want to risk that right out of surgery. Any suggestions?
