Down 12 pounds....

Just got back from my last pre-op doctor's visit. Down 12 lbs. in a week. I've never done that before without an amputation The pre-op diet sucks but the results speak for themselves. I check into the hospital at 7AM, 1 week from today. Surgery scheduled for 9:30AM. Say a little prayer then, I'd appreciate it. DD

Way to go Dave!!!!!! I would be thrilled to be down that much next week when I go for my surgery on the 19th......I am now getting that scared feeling inside...kinda like when you almost get into an accident while driving and your heart goes up to your throat. Yikes...and I still have a week to go.....Marcy

I went through the scared phase already. I just want to get it over with, and get my life back. I know the next few months are going to be rough. But, I'm looking forward to a great fall. DD

I didn't realize how rough it really was going to be until pre-op meeting last Friday. I knew what was involved but now I REALLY know what is involved. I am looking forward to getting healthier and being able to walk down the street and not feel as if everyone is looking at me cause of my weight (even though they probably don't care but that's what i think) ...unless they are thinking "look at the great looking chick" that would be ok then. Talk to you soon...Marcy

David, that is fantastic!! One more week and you are going to do so well, you really are prepared and ready, I can tell that even just from your posts!! And me, well, not doing the liquids until i HAVE to and definitely in the scared phase. I hope it passes soon!! Meanwhile I can have people like you as my inspiration to do well!! Inky

David, That's great! I have lost 10 lbs on the liquid diet this week, probably more by the time I get to my pre-op tomorrow as I am taking the magnesium citrate today -yuck It isn't so bad in the bathroom because of the liquid diet, but it is nauseating!!! Hope you don't have to go through that! Barb

Great Job!!! It is only the beginning. I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery!!
