Yeah I have I work with a nurse that had her surgery done 2 yrs ago and used that to help remind her that she needed to eat, She said for the first few days she had to make herself eat and not just sip on things so she used a timer did well for her. I am for anything that makes my life a little easier at this moment.

Hello...I was wondering if any of you have heard or know someone that uses a 3 minute egg timer between bites/sips to control how fast they eat?  This was recommended to me by a nurse who's had the surgery.....just wondering if anyone else had heard of it and what your thoughts are?

I can totally relate...I will be going in for surgery tomorrow as well and im also nervous...thats a normal thing...this is the begining of the rest of our lives and our eating habits will be forever changed...its such a big step and i feel kinda scared about it but i know its what i have to do...what we all have to do :) so i hope all the other jan 6 peeps and those to follow have a sucessful surgery!!

I wish you the best of Luck Lisa !!!

Hi friends,
We are finally back after 12 days in Disney and now my mind is goig in 300 directions.  I am at work for one week to catch up on all and then off again for my surgery the 14th.  I really missed this site while we were gone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  Are the rest of my January buddies as excited as i am right now??  Even thoguh my doctor only requires two days of liquid diet, i decided to go ahead and start today.  I figured if i can shrink my liver a little bit more, why not do it?

I am trying to think of everything I need to do before next week.  How are the rest of you having surgery next week doing?  And all this month for that matter?
