Next Weeks Babies---Ready!!

I laid in the last of the necessities for after surgery today. Got the sf popsicles, broth, protein powders, fruit2O, 3 oz. sipping cups, baby spoons, vitamins, sf jello and pudding, and a positive attitude. ARE YOU READY!!! Stopped at the doctors office and weighed in and have loss 15 lbs. preop--my goal. What does you doctor require for the first 3 weeks? Mine is clear liquid 5-7 days, add protein day 5, full liquids through day 14, very purred soft stuff through day , and thin things like oaatmeal and cottage cheese through day 21. Good luck MARCH family, and lets stay in touch. I'll post a weekly weigh in on Fridays! March 13 at 7 AM is a new day! Be strong and positive. bj

Hey Betty Jo! Good luck to you, I am also March 13....I have lost 14 pounds on the pre op diet so far...I am like you on the clear liquids for first 5-7 days then add the protein and other liquids...will have to check my book about after that. I don't know it by heart yet! I am so ready..a little nervous and scared...my husband is getting scared now...I will keep you in my prayers!!! I like the be strong and think positive!!! Jana

MEME I'm ready!! I'm the 16th but just as excited and nervous as the rest of you all! I have also bought everything I will need but I may have over done it. I have two cabinets full of goodies! My doctor insists on starting pureed soft foods one week after surgery. We'll have to see hwo that goes.

Good luck Trish. My daughter now lives in Philadelphia. She had to leave New Orleans after Katrina. I have enough protein powder to take me into the next century!! Stay strong and positive. bj

Hey Betty Jo! I am ready to get this show on the road! Still have a couple of last appointments to do (cutting it close!) and I will be on the losin side! Got some of the stuff that I need, still waiting on the protein though. SIL is here to help with the girls and then they are off to CA for a week while I am in surgery and will come home the day I will be also. I am excited. not really nervous, just ready! Good Luck to everyone that is having surgery next week! I will be thinking of you! Lisa

Everybody be sure and post as soon as they can so we know how everybody is doing. Enjoy your last weekend before going over to the "loser's side"!!! Barbara

Hi Betty Jo, Sounds like you are READY! My doctor doesn't require losing weight before. Good for you 15 pounds. My doctor has the first two weeks protein, clear liquids. Then each two weeks we add a little more. I go on Wednesday and very ready with all the supplies. Here's to all us March family!! Shari
