Rescheduled for May 17th

I was originally scheduled for April 7th only to have it canceled due to some blood work problems.  My potassium has now corrected itself (no one knows why it was high in the first place) so I'm having my final blood work on the 10th.  I hope everything is fine this time.

I had been on the full liquid diet and was one day away from the surgery when it was canceled.  I have continued with the protein shakes, other protein, and no carbs.  I had just gotten past that horrible carb withdrawal headache so I figured if I was ready to give things up starting April 7th, I could give them up waiting for a new surgery date.  I have also taken this time to decaffeinate myself.  I'm only drinking decaf coffee and no sodas. 

The cancellation may have been a blessing in disguise (everything happens for a reason).   I now have a better understanding of what the eating part of my life will be like after surgery and I've lost 20 pounds this month. 

Blessings to us all.

Good luck! We share the same surgery date. Good job on the weight loss! That is fantastic.

I am also on the 17th.  Good luck everyone!!

Hi Ladies,

I am also scheduled for the 17th.  The two week pre-op diet has been difficult but I think for the most part I am thru the carb and caffee withdrawl.  It was really bumpy there for a few days.  I am going to spend the rest of the week getting the family ready for when I am gone, not that they can't handle it.  It just makes me feel needed if I pretent that they need me to get things ready for them.  Good luck to you all on your journeys.
