Sis... I have to tell you... I am SO EXCITED... I can't wait to get on the winning side... my girlfriend has surgery Jan. 10th and she has already lost 47 pounds... I am ready for that... I know that it's going to be tough but I am ready for the task...

Hello!!! I think it's up to your doctor whether or not you should be on a liquid diet. A friend of mine who had the surgery didn't have to do a liquid diet, but my other friend did...so just do whatever your doc tells you to do! How are you feeling - nervous, excited, anxious...???

Hello, the pre-op diet isn't too bad, but yes only 6 days and a wake up to go. Me I am excited, and nervous, been cleaning house lol, packing the hospital bag, and making sure I have everything I need. This week is my last meeting with my surgeon before the surgery, and then I will shop for what I need to be eating post op. We are not on liquids post op, but pureeds. Slightly scared, but then who isn't I think. Wow the days are flying by. Good Luck to all. Here is to complication free surgeries, and speedy recoveries for us all.

Hi I am also March 5th. was given 2 weeks to prepare. I do not have to go on any special diet , so I am very happy about that much. but I did have to stop all of my pain meds now and thats the hard part for me. I guess we will be reborn together.
