Topic: August 10th
I am new to this entire website.  I signed up a few months ago but never really had a chance to check it out.

However, at this point my surgery is right around the corner and I wanted to check out how others have done with their journery. 

I am almost there.  The liquid diet isn't too bad.  I am just really really nervous.  I am sure to check back to this sight for ongoing information.

Good luck to everyone.

Topic: RE: Started your liquid diet today?
I go in for my Pre-Op tomorrow, and start my 1 week Liquid Diet on Sat. I'm not thrilled about the diet, but excited I'm almost there. Starting to get the jitters (I've never had any kind of surgery before), but excited! I'll update about the Liquids once I get into it.

Hey There!

That is the same day as my surgery! I know what you mean about being concerned about not returning to our children. I believe that is a valid concern and I feel the same way. I have trust in my surgeon and the hospital, and I know I will be in the best hands. Plus we should shift our focus to the fact that we are doing this so we can live healthier and do the best that we can do. I know I have been praying alot about it.

Hang in there, we will both be in the recovery room soon...ready to begin our new life.

I have been doing the protein shakes for breakfast and/or dinner. My lunch is just a regular meal but I use good judgement. I believe the protein makes me not as hungry and it's helped me to lose weight.

Good luck to you and I wish you the best for your surgery.

Yes I am. I can't wait. I started the liquid diet about 8 days ago and seeing results and it's getting me excited about whats coming very soon. So far I'm not nervous at all just focused.

How's getting your house in order coming along?
