Topic: RE: I have a date!!!!!
Way to go Janet and Welcome.. How awesome to finally be done and know you have your date right.. I agree, start preparing now.. Don't buy to much, but make sure you have enough to get you through.. It is amazing how many times I hear people tell me that they bought way to much stuff and still have loads of Jello's puddings, etc.. I suggest you get a lot of little sample bags of protein, you don't want to buy a big jug, and then find out that it is NOT good.. vitalady.com has all kinds of samples for less than $2.. Check her out. Unjury has samples as well... Unjury.com
Good Luck to you and keep in touch.. Congrats on your date..

Topic: RE: 2 days down
Jenn, thanks so much for the encouragement. It really means a lot to me. I know weighing everyday may become frustrating. I already forgot to weigh this morning so I probably won't end up weighing every day, but hope to get it in once a week a least. I don't want to get discouraged. I am going to go get some ketosis strips at Wal Mart today. I want to make sure I am in the fat burning stage.
Have a great New Years.

Topic: RE: OMG, I GAINED WIEGHT
Take a Deep Breath, and relax.. I know it is never easy. I have gained and lost the same 5-10 pounds and feel like a giant yoyo sometimes.. I know that it is not easy to stay on a liquid diet for so long, but do the best you can... One day at a time, and you will see just how quickly the 19th comes.. I have 6 days left, and I almost feel like I need just one more to complete everything I need to get done.. LOL But am so glad the day is finally almost here.. You too will feel like that and before you know it.
Have a very Happy & Safe New Years..

Topic: RE: 2 days down
Way to go Emily.. I know that it's hard, but I am proud of you.. I have the ticker, but am also going to get a little journal/notebook and weigh myself every morning to keep track of my progress.. But remember, weighing yourself everyday they say NOT to do, cause sometimes it can discourage if you see numbers that you don't think should be there.. Not everone is the same, guys loose faster than girls, and it is okay to get stuck "in a rut" for a while. Don't ever feel like you are not loosing fast enough. It will come in time, and with hard work... I know you will do great..
Have a very Happy & Safe New Years..

Topic: RE: Last Dinner???
Good for you for playing it safe with a cab... Have fun and enjoy your little splurge.. I may still be in the hospital on the 8th, or just getting home, so if I don't get to tell you later, I wish you a very uneventful surgery.
Big Hugs,
Jenn

Topic: RE: 8 days to go, I am getting excited and nervous all at once
Cindy, my surgeon requires a 10 day clear liquid diet before surgery. It is to help shrink the liver so that the surgery is easier on you and the doctor. On the clear liquid diet you can have sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, broth, liquid off of ramen noodles or chicken noodles, crystal light, and what ever else that you can see through. It would probably be a good idea to do it even though your surgeon doesn't require it. Right now I am on a low carb diet. I am doing this because I gained some weight and I have to lose it fast. I will do my liquid diet once I get my date. I am so excited for you your surgery is the day after my pre op appointment. Keep us updated.
