Surgery Date!!!!! April 3, 2013
After a year and a half of waiting, I finally have my surgery date!!! I am so excited.
I can't wait to get to know all my April buddies.
Right now I am working on:
- No more soda
- No more caffeine
- Drinking a half gallon of water a day
- Not drinking with meals
- Exercising everyday, and
- Making freezer meals for my husband
It's hard to believe it is only 10 days away!!!

RNY surgery on April 3, 2013.
I just had my surgery on the 2nd... The liver reduction diet, you will get use to.. I promise.. first day was the hardest, but then I started to figure out new ways to make my drink taste good!!
Dont doubt yourself and if you need to have food at anytime, fine the high in protein and green veggies. Just make sure you make the right decision and as it has been posted before, people cheat on their pre-op diets...
Good luck... It does get easier and your surgery is right around the corner :)
Everyone stumbles and falls occasionally and as much as you feel the weight of the world some days, tomorrow is always a new day.
CONGRATS!! Your day is almost here! MIne is April 8th and I am getting nervous, just started liver prep liquid diet today.
Giving up soda is easier than you think, you will do fine. I thought I would have a hard time with it but I quit in January and have not looked back. The key is finding something else you like just as much. My "go to" drink now is Snapple Diet Half & Half Tea. It's half tea, half lemonade and it is great!
Good Luck! Let us know how everything goes.

Can you please share your liver prep diet? My doctor said I don't really need to because I'm considered a "lightweight"...I find that funny, but even still I'm going to do it just so that I can get started on my weight loss and to make sure it's easier for him to see around my liver during surgery.
Thanks!
