So I am on day 3 of the liquid diet...I have lost 5 pounds or so, YAY :wub:!

Im getting nervous about my surgery tomorrow...Any tips I need to know?

Don't worry, it's fast and not very painful at all. You will be so glad you did it.

Congratulations!! My surgery is tomorrow also. I've been on pre-op diet for two weeks now. Lost around 18 lbs. My doc didn't tell me how much to lose. I'm just hoping its enough.

Congratulations!!!! Good luck with the surgery, you will do well. It will soon be a distant memory. Take Care and God Bless

Wonderful!! Congratulations and best wishes for a safe surgery and speedy recovery!

Be sure to pack lip balm for the hospital.

Also, definitely take your measurements (chest, waist, hips, thighs, calves, lower arm, upper arm, wrist, ankle) today and put them in a spreadsheet (or even just a notebook). It is so great to see how many inches you lose as you go -- especially if you get in a phase where you are not losing pounds (but are losing inches). It's very motivating!

I put my measurements in an Excel spreadsheet and I also have my weight in there. I update every time I lose and do my measurements about every 10 pounds. I definitely recommend doing this!

Best wishes,

Catherine

How have you lost that much weight? My surgery was 4-29 and I only lost 10 lbs. at the beginning. I feel no restriction--only fill brought me up to 4 cc's

Hi there...thank you all for your well wishes...Im really nervous about the pain...:thumbdown:Ugghhh! But I am totally stoked about my new journey :wub:!

I dont know how I have lost 5 pounds in 3 days, Im guessing it is all water weight...
