Last day of Opifast, clear liquids, then Monday Surgery

This is my last day of Opifast. What a time.  Everything was good tasting, if it wasn't I don't think I would be able to last as long as I did 14 days worth. Saturday and Sunday I will be starting my clear liquids. I made 4 different kinds of jello. I have everything for my 2 days. Thank God for that. And Then............my Surgery on Monday. I have to be at Christiania Hospital at 5:00 am. Surgery is set at 7:30 am.   I started already with my list that I have to bring at the hospital and I wrote as few reminders as leg lifts in bed, how to get out of bed, how to get rid of GAS and breath exercises. I hope I didn't forget anything. I am READY. I am really READY!!! Wish me luck.....

Best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery too!

Don't forget to take ChapStick to the hospital.

I overpacked for my RNY stay . . . the ChapStick was the only thing I actually needed!

p.s. go to www.thinnerself.com and key in all of your measurements so you can track not only your weight loss but your inches lost as well . . . there is also a really cool prediction chart based on your age and activity level that will predict about how much weight you should be losing each week (RNY procedure patients only).

Maureen, Best of luck with your surgery. We look forward to seeing you on " the loser's bench " , where there is always room for one more. See you lighter. Joanne
