Stephanie!

Yea!! I'm so happy that your surgery got moved up!  What an awesome feeling that must have been!  The liquids are not that bad once you get past day 3.  I haven't been great on the water part, but that's because I feel like I'm drinking a lot.  Try soup broth too, that helps curve some craving along with the SF cream pops(only 40 cal)!  I'll be praying for you Stephanie!  You'll stay strong, I know it!

Always,

Wendy

Topic: RE: Anyone scheduled for JAN 28TH???

Deborah,

I would love to do a low carb diet!  It's not that bad now, but there are times when I wish I could just chew something instead of drinking it.  I will continue to pray for you too.  I also have an appointment tomorrow for blood work and a few other appointments with the surgeon's nurse and another one on the 26th because they couldn't fit my appointments into one day.  Can you believe that our big day is in a week?  I am thinking all of the "normal" things like, "should I really be doing this to my body?"  I know that I wouldn't have worked as hard as I have if I really didn't want this.  I think I'm just afraid of the unknown.  I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, and that is helping a lot!  Any how, it's so great to meet you and I will be looking forward to updates on you soon! 

Always, 

Wendy

My surgery is on the 27th also, and i'm so excited! My liquid diet is alot different then what it seems others are doing. Im allowed yogurt, soup, milk, juice ( no pulp), but maybe that's since it's for 2 weeks. I'll be doing the clear liquids from Sunday on. Good luck!

Say a prayer, take a deep breath and know that before any surgery, people tend to get worked up. I already warned my hubby because i know myself, i have had surgeries before and each time, i feel like "OMG, I am going to die", but that is my nerves. try going for a walk, or doing something that will help you calm down adn think about other stuff.

Hey Karen! My surgery is Monday also and you are so not alone. I've been a bundle of nervous excitement for about a week now. I too have wondered all the bad stuff like what if I'm one of the WLS failures, what if I have complications, etc, but at the same time I keep thinking what if I didn't do this. Sure, I'm generally healthy now, as healthy as anyone who's morbidly obese can be, but for how long? My dad had his first heart attack at 48, so that right there combined with the morbid obesity pretty much makes me a heart attack waiting to happen.

I've read stories about people who have had terrible complications post-op, but the majority of all of them said that they would still have the surgery all over again. That says a lot to me.

If you ever want to talk or vent, let me know! Sharing the same date, I'm sure we'll have a lot of stuff to discuss in the coming months

Take care! Only 5 days to go!!

C'mon.  TWENTY FOUR POUNDS!!!  DO A DANCE!! IF YOUR NOT PROUD OF YOU.... I AM!!!  My weight has stayed the same since Monday.  I think our bodies are saying " Hey girl, what the heck are you doin' to me?"  But our bodies must obey our actions so weight loss will resume.  It's a protection mechanism, that's all.  Keep moving forward.  God is Good.
