Hi Nina,I am 9/9. I don't have a preop. I have to be on all liquids 24 hrs before and do a fleet bowel cleanse.

Hey Nina!

I am on day 6 of medifast. Just 8 days to go! I really don't think it is too bad. I just decided you can do anything for two weeks! I am so excited about wearing new clothes and being able to move better that I can hardly wait!

Good Luck!

Non-starchy veggies unlimited: I've eaten spinach, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, few baby carrots - usually in a salad w/ vinegar, lemon juice and splenda

Water and/or no calorie/caffeine drinks

Hey Susan, when's your surgery. Mine is Tuesday with Dr. Curry. I'm nervous, yet excited. Good luck to you!

Wow! That's great. I had heard so many wonderful things about Dr. Curry and staff and because that's all he does and has done lots of them I am comfortable. Good luck. I'm counting down.
