Nervous!
Right now I am so focused on getting through the boost diet that I can't even think about the surgery itself. When I do let mysf think about it I get so stressed. What if my liver is still too big? What if I get sick right before my surgery? What if they find something once they are in there that prevents the surgery from actually being completed?? The list goes on and on.
They told us that it could happen. BUT I think that if someone cheats enough that the liver doesn't shrink enough they probably would not fess up about cheating. Know what I mean? I am on day 6 and just had my 2 cups of veggies for the first time. I feel guilty and I know if the surgery doesn't happen that I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. No pressure eh?
I have 3 more days to go and my surgery is Wednesday. I feel nervous but I know I haven't had anything but my boost and water but I think so too that if someone cheated they wouldn't say. If you want this you wont cheat it. It's hard, lord knows I have thought maybe just a bite or if I had one more meal if be alright but I know that would be setting myself up to wake up in recovery saying no can do! I would be more than devastated I did have the veggies up until day 5 and then I stopped . I to feel nervous about the veggie thjng. Not sure why. Here's to hoping. It's full speed ahead now almost to the finish line. Everyone says the hardest part is the boost.
Wowza! You are almost there!!! You will have to let me know how you make out. I have not lost a huge amount of weight so far on the boost. I hope that isn't a bad sign. I have already lost (including what I lost on boost) almost 45 pounds since Sept 22 so I figure that is why I haven't had a huge weight loss with boost. Strongly considering calling the clinic to see if they can ease my fears a bit.
I am in the same boat as Ellie....signed my papers Sept 19/14 and am waiting for the call! I am terrified of not being able to get through the 2 week diet....but I know if I don't do it I will regret it for the rest of my life. And I sure as hell don't want to stay like this and die early...so bring it on! And for all you guys doing it...be proud of yourself...be strong and know it's all worth it!
