MADE IT 2 DAYS WITHOUT FOOD JUST LIQUIDS 5 DAYS TILL SURGERY

Well I've made it through 2 days of liquids only. Actually I'm feeling better physically and have had more energy. Surgy is Tuesday Feb.14. Not as nervous or scared as before thanks to everyone on OH website. Thanks very much for being there for me and helping me. Heather

You will do great. I had mine on the 6th and except for the gas, I felt absolutely wonderful. My dr said my surgery was perfect, he could not have asked to perform a more perfect surgery!!!!! You will do fine, I was nervous but I was not even scared not even when they took me to the OR. I said my prayer to the Lord and asked him to look over me and that is what He did and I thank Him. He will look over you too!!!!! Your day will come before you know it!! Good luck! Hugs, Kennie

you will do just fine!!!! Congrats on the 2 days.

Good Luck on your journey I had surgery the 8th was not as bad as I thought. I think sometimes our nerves get the best of us. Good luck you are in my prayers sherri

Hey Heather, I am on the liquid diet to it is day 5 and I am down 8#. I also am not hungery. My date is the 16th. I will say a prayer for you on Valentines Day you will do GREAT! Cindy

Congrats on the 2 days! You will do it!!! Good luck on Tuesday! What a marvelous Valentine's Day gift you are giving yourself! A new healthy life! I too am not scared any more since all of our February friends here are coming back and reporting good things. We will be fine. Hugs, Deanna

Congrats!! I had my surgery the 1st and already without pain meds and doing everything I did before surgery except bathe and lift! Hang in there! It was not as scary as I had anticipated and I am doing great post op! Sue

When I first saw your post, I thought it said 12 days! I was like, gee, that's a long time! I don't have to do that until 2 days prior and even that seems like a feat of strength ... and then I thought, yikes, I'm going to have to do it for 30 days POST [my date is the 15th] and well, I had better get a grip on that idea! Anyway, CONGRATS on your FEAT of STRENGTH!! Sounds like you are doing full liquids for a full week prior and that is TERRIFIC that you are doing well with it! I am doing 1000cal low fat, low carb, high protein with meal replacement shakes or protein bars for breakfast and lunch, a snack of 7 triscuits and low fat cream cheese, and dinner of protein and a veggie. I'm doing much better than I thought I would, and like you said, I feel more energy too, though today is the first day I'm not complaining of a headache [yet]. I agree that OH has been a lifesaver. Good luck with the rest of your 'before' and I will be thinking about you on the 14th and hoping for all good things! xosm

Heather, Congrat on making it this far! Just take it one day at a time. I have been doing the liquid diet since February 3rd and my surgery day is Monday the 13th. My Surgeon told me if I eat he will do an open RNY...that is incentive enough not to eat!

Hi Heather! This is encouraging to read because I am starting my liquid diet tomorrow and my surgery isn't until Februrary 27th! TWO WEEKS of liquids! If I can handle this, I think I'll slap an "S" on my chest and start referring to myself as "SuperWoman"! Yikes! Isn't this website awesome! What a fabulous place to find answers to questions from those who have "been there and done that"! I'll be praying for you to have an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery! Kim
