It's my turn...surgery tomorrow!

Linz-loo, no need to be worried, it is over before you know it. The nurses are all great and will take good care of you. Make sure, when you have your first few sips, take it REALLY, REALLY SLOW A VERY , VERY LITTLE SIP ONLY otherwise you will throw it up, NOT good! Another note, You may consider taking prune juice the minute You get home depending on if you have a BM while in the hospital. I didn't have one for 5 days. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Barb C.

Good luck tomorrow Linz, I'll be thinking of you.  Don't be dissapointed by the 11 or 12 pound weight loss, that's about what I lost on the Optifast   I wasn't really concerned about the pre-op weight loss, as much as I was making sure my liver shrunk.  After surgery I asked Dr. Andrew about the size of my liver and he said it was "small".   You're gonna do great!  Can't wait to hear from you when you're on the loser's bench. 

Hi there

Congrats.  Well wishes to you and I hope you have a speedy recovery!  Welcome to the loosers bench!

I'd wish you good luck but by this time, your probably in recovery so instead I'll say congrats for making it to the losers bench!
The best advice I can give you is drink very small amounts of water but as often as you can. Walk, walk and walk some more as it will help more than you think. If you can, when your able, take a shower you'll feel like a million bucks.
All the best to you on this new chapter of your skinny life!

Best of Luck! I hope everything goes very smoothly for you. The nurses are really kind, so there is no need to worry.
