Topic: Surgery Date 07/01/08!
Finally I have a date - 07/01/08. When the doc's office called and told me, I was silent. I was shocked that it was so soon. She asked if I wanted to change it to after the 4th so I could enjoy the holiday. She must be crazy ! I've had a lifetime of hot dogs and bbq. It's time for a new healthier life!

God bless and good luck to you. Mine is the day after you and can't wait. I am so happy and scared at the same time.
Topic: Surgery date July 11th....
I have my date scheduled, but I am getting a little scared... This is going to be a big change! My problem is that my BP has been going up and I am retaining fluid and my doctor has been known to reschedule surgery for gaining 1 pound and as of 2 days ago I have gained 3... Went to my doctor and they said it is retaining water and gave me another fluid pill.... I don't want to reschedule. Any advice?

I am very happy that I have a date of July 2. It took me 3.5 weeks to get the paper work all done. Good luck to everyone.

Hi,
I'm still waiting for approval, hopefully mid July the Doctor's office says.
I've taste tested many protein powders, broths, etc. I've decided to make my own turkey broth and freeze it for when I'm ready. Those store bought kinds are too salty for me and I don't like the bouillon flavor! I bake my turkey with rosemary and sage so the broth has a nice flavor, then plop the carcass in a big pot with water and a few more spices. I'll add non-flavored whey protein powder to them before eating to boost my protein intake. My favorite protein powder is Jay Robb's Chocolate Whey Isolate. YUM I add any of several DaVinci SF syrups to it for different flavors. Mustn't get bored.
I've ordered my vitamins and have started taken them so my body's in prime condition when surgery day hits.
I've been walking like mad, I'm up to 10k steps daily now and have lost enough he won't have to worry about my liver being fatty.
I've read several books and numerous website postings.
Did I mention I'm SO ready for this? lol
How about you? What are you doing to get ready?
Be well,
