Getting close

Hello everyone; We just got back from vacation, and I went to see the surgeon today for my final weight in before my surgery. I lost 3 lbs over the holidays and being on vacation. The doctor was not to happy but understood since I did not do any excerise while I was on vacation. The surgery is Monday morning at 7:30am at Buffalo General hospital. I got all my instructions and I am on a no carb diet / clear liquids until then. I think this will be the hardest part. Well I just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone. Karen

Hey Karen! We got our clearance at the same time I think...and wow you went on vacation close to your surgery too like I am... I am so glad to hear you lost weight-lol...I need the inspiration Keep us updated!!!!! Happy New Year to you too! Kristine

Karen, Monday will get here in no time at all. My guess is that you will be so anxious to have it all over with you won't miss the food. Pick up some sugar free popsicles and Swanson's chicken broth, both reallyhelped me out, along with lemon water and lots of ice. Best of luck, take care, remember to walk and breath as much as possible. Keep us posted. Our prayers are with you. Linda
