Hi everyone well today will be day 7 of my preop diet. I am doing okay. It is pretty bad when you open a can of fancy feast cat food for the diva kitty. And think it smells good. But anyway, I go today for a two hour preop class. I will weigh then. I hope I have lost some weight. :smile: I have even cooked for husband and not been tempted because I dont want to go to surgery and he not be able to do it because my liver is to fat. My surgery is next thursday. I am getting excited and nervous. But know I will be happy when I get there. I think my dh is more nervous than I am. But he doesnt want anything to happen to his honeylamb.

Keep me in your prayers, as I will you as we go this journey together. I will admit it is getting tough. But I am halfway there 7 more days to go.:thumbup:

Keep up the good work! I was banded on Aug. 22 but I didnt have to do the pre-op diet. All I had to do is no eating after midnight the night before surgury. It has been 2.5 weeks and have lost 20 lbs. Good luck to you!

You have a great attitude, thin within!! I'll be keeping you in my prayers. Good Luck!

You're halfway there - you can do it!! I lost 10 lbs. on the pre-op liquids, so I'm sure you'll be just fine. I found that chewing sugar-free gum help me get through - I just wanted to chew something and the gum really helped. Good Luck!!

Good luck to you. I had my surgery on Monday. It was really not a bad experience, I'm trying not to beat myself up for being so nervous but now that its over it really was not bad at all. I was sure I just would have a horrible experience. I only took pain meds twice. The only thing I would recommend is take in all the fluids you can. I stayed overnight in the hospital and got five liters of IV fluids and was still dehydrated. I drank fluids constantly but it just wasn't enough. I got dizzy and my bp dropped, it recovered quickly but I was still surprised. I have not really been all that hungry. As far as the smell of food goes, that will still entice you but I really didn't care if I ate any. You will do just fine and just remember to keep a positive attitude.

Good luck with it. The surgery isn't bad at all. And the Pre-op diet is the worst part of it all. I think I lost about 10 lbs that week.

Way to go girl !!!! I am having surgery on Friday...just one day after you.... WOW....is this cool... I am so excited. I have been cooking for the husband and kids too. I have not been totally perfect.....but close to it.... I have lost 15 lbs. so far. Hope to lose another 5 lb before surgery;..... Good luck. Prayers are with you.... Think about me on your 1 post op day !!!!
