Topic: May 13th is my Surgery day!
I can't believe it's just a week from today! I've been on my pre-op diet for a while now and it's been a hard road so far. But I keep telling myself that in the end. I am not nervous about the surgery @ all. I'm strangely excited about it. 
I just want it done and over with so I can move on to the next step.

Topic: RE: First Day ON Liquid Diet
I'm on day 4 with my liquid diet and I've had a headache ever since then. I call it my food headache. It's not too bad.
I wonder how long does it take to shrink your liver anyway? I have been looking online and I haven't gotten any answers.

Well we are planning on going to CA for the state fair and visit family the end of Aug.  I am hoping I will feel good and will be a couple of sizes smaller.  We were going to go to KS for my twin neeces graduation from High School but my surgery date is one day after there graduation so we cancelled that so wanted to plan a trip to see most of the family as soon as we could.

I just excited to start this new journey of my life to a healthy happy new me.

Topic: RE: LOOKING FOR SUPPORT??????

Well on this forum we are all going through this at the same time, so we can all support one another.

My surgery is May 25th and I start my liquid diet next Monday, I have an appt today to see the NUT about my diet I will be on pre-op and post-op then I see the Surgeon tomorrow.  My journey started last Aug so I have been around for a while just waiting for this time,  I am pretty excited and scared at the same time.

On finding where you have posted before.  If you go to my oh, then my posts you should see all the posts you have done and comments you made on other posts.

Good Luck with your upcoming surgery, wishing you an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery.

I want to wear smaller close and like you I want to wear some sleeveless shirts this year!  I want to jump on the trampoline with my daughter and not feel like my heart is going to pound out of my chest.  I want to take the dogs to the dog park and run around with them.  I want to go camping with my family and not feel huge in my bathing suit. 


Man, we have a lot to look forward to!

Topic: RE: Liquids....

Well, I am finding it hard to just open up and can of broth and warm it up.  Just doesn't taste good!  I like to get some egg drop or wonton soups and eat the broth from those.  It tastes good and I feel satisfied.  The sweet stuff does get old fast.  I think that the hardest thing that I have went through is I have to get used to no Mt. Dew!  I love me some Dew!  LOL!  That and Diet Dr.Pepper are my favorites.  So, I think that the headaches are finally done from no caffeine so that helps a lot! 

Hang on ya'll!  We're getting closer!
