Seven days to go

Hey all just wanted to vent some of my concerns. I went for pre-op testing last week, all went well till the nurse called the day after and told my I had to loose weight before the surgery or the Doc would not operate. I am now on a liquid diet of 3 cans of boost a day and water. I guess losing some weight will shrink my liver and help the Doc get to where he needs to go. Now I'm scared to death he will postpone my surgery. I also had a sleep study done last week, no results yet, I hope that is ok too! Please keep me in your prayers for an uneventful next week and that I can shed these pounds the Doc wants me too! Thank You all for your support. I could't have gone this far if it weren't for all of you! Love, Ang

Hey Ang! I wish you all the best with this grand journey. If you have sleep apnea it will just be one more reason to have the surgery. Heck just chalk the diet up to good practice. It will hellp you prepare for post op. I am starting to practice a few things too. Like chewing a lot, sipping water all day, and tasting some protein powders and bars. You will do fine. Keep up the good work! You have lots of support here. PJ wfad
