my preop appointment

I met with Dr. G yesterday for my preop - I had lost 4 lbs on my own, which surprised me due to me trying to eat all my faves before surgery.  Anyway, of course I had some second thoughts while filling out the paper work, but then when talking to Dr. G, and him going over all my test results such as my fatty liver disease, he reassured me that what I was getting ready to do is the best treatment for this comorbidity.   I really have appreciated how his staff have made me feel everytime I go in there.  I go on my liquid preop diet on Saturday.  My last day at work is Wednesday - I am so glad, my boss really ticked me off today, he's realizing that he is going to miss me, and he might have to do something, lol.   Oh well....  goodnight everyone, hope everyone has a great night.

Rock and Roll! You'll get the jitters the closer it gets but it's a good thing you are doing, really.

It's getting close!  Time will really fly now! Enjoy your favorites now and enjoy the liquid diet even more later!  lol  j/k Congrats!  Can't wait to hear about your progress.

Wow, Saturday is just right around the corner.  How exciting!!!  I remember that 10 day pre-op diet!  You are going to do great! BUT I do want to tell you this...DON'T DO THE LAST MEAL THING!  You know all those favorite little things you are having prior to surgery???  Well, you are still going to be able to have them after surgery - it's just going to be in moderation and in smaller portions.  So, with that being said - don't do the 'last meal' thing!  I promise you - you will be able to eat!!! I know it's hard to realize because with past 'diets' we tend to go through the 'last meal' thing. This is not a diet!  This is a lifestyle change.  I will never diet again. I am so excited for you!  This is going to be awesome and you are going to love it! Keep us informed on everything.  We want to know how you are feeling every day. Tonja
