I got a date!!!

I got my date!  It's August 15th.  I was hoping for July 26th but my surgeon will be on vacation.  I was also thinking I was going to be having surgery in Covington but Im having it in Metairie at the Omega Hospital.  Oh well, I guess it will be just fine.  Im so excited now b/c everything is falling into place.  My sister will come in from Dallas to take care of my boys.  WHEW, what a relief.  Okay, now be honest with me...............How many of you got your date then wanted to go eat all your favorites before you had to start your liquid diet?  Part of me wants to go splurge a little since Im working out everyday at the YMCA but part of me is scarred to gain weight I wont lose in the 2 wk liquid diet before surgery.  So what did ya'll do?

I did not splurge but you will definately will loose during the liquid phase!  I was so happy that I did not even think about splurging! Roz

I did think about and did it.  I ate everything in site and what was not too.  I ate so much cheese cake.  I was never a dessert person until I got my date.  Every meal I ate I thought that was the last time I would ever be able to enjoy it.  That is so not true.  Today is my 1 monthversary.  I am eating everything I want.  Except Chicken and eggs.  Makes me really sick.  I am never hungry. 

I ate a few favorites, but when I got my date for sure, it was only 12 days away so I had to start my liquid diet right away. It was very difficult but got better by the 4th day. You will lose--I lost 13 lbs. in 12 days. BTW I live in Covington--is that where you are? Good luck on your surgery, it will get here before you know it. Jen

I ate everything I wanted.  Now, I'm 8 months out and can still eat what I want, but I don't really want the bad stuff too much.
