My date is 12/3

I'm very excited.  I'm trying to get through this "no carbs" diet the doctor wants me on before surgery.  I've heard of low carbs but he said no carbs.  I'll do whatever I have to in order to join everyone on the loosers bench.  Can't wait        Linda

 CONGRATS ON YOUR DAY!!!!  WOW THAT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

Congrats to you.

Hi Linda,
My date is Dec 3rd also... I am excited and also frightened but I am sure that is normal. I start a complete liquid diet on the 19th, to get ready for the surgery, I have having revision done from a bypass that I had 19 years ago, due to some problems with the stitches from that long ago... can't wait and counting the days... Ginger

Congratulations on your Dec. 3rd date! That is my date too! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I plan to start the liquid diet on Sunday. That will be 10 days. Good for you for starting yours tomorrow! Keep us updated        on your progress!

CONGRATULATIONS on your surgery date!!!!!!!        We are on the same day!

Hi Linda,

It is tough to get through the "no carbs" diet. I've been working on it since mid-September. The next challenge is the clear-liquid diet!  Hang in there, you can do it!

Good morning Kay:
Today is the day, liquids for the next 14 days, I am sipping on a protein drink right now, I really don't mind the ones that you mix from GNC, I mix it with water and it only has like 100 calories per scoop. I am thinking that I will be drinking lots of these 100 calories in the next few weeks, we can have soup also so I was thinking that possibly once or twice a day some warm soup broth to... How are things for you??? Ginger

Hi Ginger!

It sounds like you are doing great on your pre-op diet! I'm sure it will fall off of you. I think after a day or two the headache will stop and you will feel better. Hang in there!

Hi Kay:
I am not sure what the one is that I am using from GNC, it is chocolate and great, no sugars and only 100 calories with all the goodies in it also like amino, vits.
I didn't get hungry untill last night, and this am I have a headace, but hey I made it through the whole day will just liquids- I can also have yogurt, so I had that last night, today I think that I might have some soup broth to heat up the body, I am freezing cold and can't get warm... I lost 1 pound yesterday so that is good. Ginger
