Surgery May 2nd

Wow just a couple of more days and I'm on my way to the light side. I'm really excited surgery is finally here. Seems like I've been waiting forever, but I'm sure a lot of you know that feeling. Many Prayers for everyone this month!!! Tammy

Tammy, prayers from NJ, I am also scheduled for May 2. I notice that many people with the same surgery date are already fasting, how about you?

Aliya, I've been on a high protien/lowcarb food plan. It's a liver shrink diet. I have two replacement meals...shake or protien bar one real "normal" food portion meal. I also get a piece of fruit between meals. I've been on it for 2 weeks as pescribed by my doc. I lost 11 lbs in nine days and my needs for food really changed. Notice I said needs not wants. That's a work in progress. Darn commercials...lol. Sunday I can only have clear liquids. I thought it would be harder but right before the liver shrink I was sick. That probably helped. How are you doing for pre-op?

My surgery is the same day! Been fasting for 2 days now, working on 3. Stinks, but I know it'll be worth it! And yep, seems like forever and now it's almost here! I've been slowly getting things packed and ready to go. Books and such. The past few days have seemed to drag by! The waiting is terrible!! LOL Take care and good luck Monday!! Lisa

good luck with your surgery! I am very excited for you. Mine is set for May 9. I will keep you in my prayers. Good Luck and "happy losing" LOL

Me, too, Tammy! Aren't you just ready to get this over with already??? I've had months to prepare and think about the best and the worst that could happen. I'm counting on the best, of course! God bless your surgeon's hands and his mind. May all your male nurses look like Mel Gibson or Brad Pitt. Did you hear they are looking at George Clooney to be the next James Bond?!?! Hugs!
