May 4th Is the BIG Day!!!!

Hi Everyone!!! I don't know if anyone has to go on a pre-op liquid fast, but I started mine today. Does anyone have any suggestions that they would like to share???

I don't have any suggestions, I just want to say Congrats and Good Luck, Betsy

Congratulations, I will be having surgery exactly 10 days after you. See you on the loser's bench! Take care, Michele

In the words of Napoleon Dynamite "LUCKY"!!! Best wishes and try not to be nervous and I'll see ya on the loser's bench on May 9th!!! Alli

May 4th is also my day! I don't have to do a liquid diet, just a low fat diet.

Quintella, Take my hand girl..................... I, too am on a liquid pre-op diet. Surgery is May 2nd, and I see we are not far away from each other. You gota TN buddy and I am here no matter what!! I have been making my shakes on my Vit-a-mix blender. I use a protein shake base, add 8-12 oz of milk, add a scoop of whey powder I get at the health food store for extra protein, ice cubes and whirl away!! Then, I sip on Crystal Lite Raspberry lemonade all day. On my pre-op I can have non fat yogurt, which I have had one so far. It has been warm enough here I only have had cold things.............SF popsicles, jello. But, good broth is good too!! When the liquid gets to you, just remember that this is the countdown.................... we are on our way!! I'll be in Puerto Vallarta, MX cheering you on when the 4th arrives!! So, hang on...............we are going to be re-born on that great day!! Karen

Hey Karen, Thanks for the uplift. I have been having a really hard time swallowing the shakes. I started eating some lowfat cottage cheese because I wouldn't eat anything else. But, I'm going to give the shakes another try because like you said, "this is the countdown!" On a great note, I have more room in my pants today!!!!! I am sooooo happy for you. I am sooooo happy for myself. I am just HAPPY!!! Tonight I will be praying for your strength, and on May 2nd, I will be celebrating your recovery. Take Care, Quinn

Quinn.................. You got it goin' on, girl................ If you are that happy, what else do you need? Just think how loose those pants are GONNA get?? lol I appreciate your prayers, and support........You definitely got mine!! Karen

Hello and Congratulations to my "Re-Birthday" sisters ...lol.. it would be neat for us to keep in touch as May 4th is my day too!!! Happy Happy Day...... Hugzzz...Nani
