Topic: RE: Getting Ready for 6/20

Mine is 6/21. From what I understand, by wk 2 you should be on either pureed foods or very soft foods, depending on your surgeon. Some skip the pureed alltogether. Depending on how you are traveling, where you plan on eating, etc. may factor in also. Traveling so soon post-op may be taxing on you and you may not feel up to eating much anyway. Personally, I would stick with cream soups and maybe scrambled eggs just to be safe.

You know your friend better than I do, but my opinion is that you are missing out a great source of support! He sounds like he likes you at any weight and if you explained why you felt the surgery is benefiting you, I'm sure he'd understand.

Good luck ;)

Topic: 8 days to surgery

Well as of today I have 8 days until surgery.. I have been on my liquid proteins and nonstarchy veggies for a week know and have lost about 7lbs. I have a busy week at work this week and with last minute dr appointments and pre-op on Wednesday. Nervous energy now and I still as of yet havent told my friend that I have been dating for 6 months that I am having the surgery. He knows that I am working on losing weight but has no idea. He knows my mom will be here for a month so our time together will be short. But I have decided when he comes back in town on Thursday I will tell him. I asked him one day if i lost a 100lbs would he still want to be with me. He said that he was attracted to not just my body but the whole of me inside and out. But I'm still nervouse about his reaction to me having surgery.

Topic: RE: June 21, No Pre-Op Diet

Hi there!

My opinion is YES, you should start the liquid pre-op diet. The reasons for the liquid only diet only benefit you. I am 6 days post op, and so grateful I did it. This is a major surgery. You want your liver to shrink, and your system and stomach to be clean and free of any toxins. Once you have the operation, you will be on clear liquids anyways, so for me, it was best to get used to eating (drinking) that way, and to get my head right. My pre-op diet wass 14 days pre-op liquid only 50 to 70 grams of protein per day. The last two days clear liquids only.

Sending hugs and prayers your way! Congrats! You are on your way!!!

Topic: RE: i feel like i will forget stuff..HELP

I didn't have anything in the hospital with me. I'm a cell phone addict and I went 24 hours without it - almost died, but didnt ;-p

They gave me a tooth brush and toothpaste. The gowns they had were fine - I don't think they would have let me wear anything else because of all the damn wires I was attached to.
