Well, tomorrow I start the 2 week pre-op liquid diet.  I'm so ready to start!!  Sounds kind of weird but I'm looking forward to it because it's propelling me towards my goal!  So I'm pretty excited.  Hopefully it won't be too hard. :)

 Congrats!!! 50 lbs is huge, and that's fantastic. Keep us posted :)

Congrats!!!!!  I can't wait to have my surgery and start down this road!!!

I haven't checked in  for a bit but I wanted to give an update....my surgery was in May and since then I have lost almost 50 lbs!! I has been hard work but very exciting to see the results!!

 Hi,
Thanks for all the info and the hellos and yes, all those I've dealt with in Richmond have been very helpful and supportive. Also, yes, my dietician is Nooshin. She seems very nice and I see her Wednesday afternoon the day before my surgery so that's why I'm nervous as she'll be weighing me and told me that if I haven't lost they could cancel the surgery and that would be AWFUL as I've been on this path for three years now (Having wasted a great deal of time with the Victoria docs. They may be good docs but the organization there was really not very good)
Anyhow, I'm sure that with six pounds down and a couple of days to go and nothing but low-carb protein shakes (with skinny coconut milk for even fewer carbs) my liver should be as good as it's gonna be prior to the surgery.
Fingers crossed and I can't wait to get it done. I'm also having my gallbladder out and an umbilical hernia repaired so I'm getting a three-fer with this surgery.
Cheers,
Lynn
