8-day liquid diet starts tomorrow

Tomorrow I start my 8 day Carnation Instant Breakfast liver shrink diet.  8 days til I become a "registered" LOSER complete with my WLS papers from Vandy to prove it!  Sorta like being an AKC registered dog!  Just hope I don't have to hike my leg to pee after surgery! 

Hiking your leg to pee? Hell I would be worried if I had to sit to pee for the rest of my life after having a surgery... (in a doctors voice)... Well we are really sorry Mr Decker... Seems we made a mistake... we had you wrote down for a sex change operation not Gastric Bypass..... OOOPS

Bama, I had rather feel like an AKC registere dog than a heinz 57 that nobody wanted to claim.  "8-days" is a small space in time to change the rest of your life.  Keep focused on the goal and continue to push toward the Losers' bench. Bill

Hey. Be true to the liquid diet. I believe it really makes a difference and it also jump starts your weight loss. I wish you the best for your surgery. You know what needs to be done so just give it your best.
I hope you recover very fast as I really enjoy the humor you inject into your posts.
Only one other piece of advice I can offer after surgery-- NEVER TRUST A FART!

Regards

Lou

these pounds count to the total...they are hell pounds...go get 'em (a three legged dog like you with papers....come on!!!)

Congrats  ,  My Dr has me on a 14 day diet   high protein  no sugar starch or carbs.  On the 5th day of it and it  has been a ***** 

Looks like we're loading another bucking bronc in to the loading chute. By the time these 8 days are up you'll be ready for anything that comes your way.  My doc just had me on liquid for 7 days prior and didn't specify what kind of liquid it had to be, other than it had to be either water or apple juice during the last 24 hours. I thought about drinking Coca-Cola for 6 straight days but decided that might be counter productive. My last "meal" pre-op was some broth from the beef stew that all the meat and veggies had been strained out of. It was kinda depressing.

Hey Bama, Glad to hear the count down has begun. Those 8 days are not fun but this too shall pass.  Go git em buddy! Doug

You will be amazed how fast 8 days can go by!  The great thing about an AKC registered dog.....they tend to get bred alot!

 Hi Bob,  Good luck with the 8 days of liquids. Dr Freeman put me on a week of 'light' meals, like salads, chicken salad sandwiches and soup to shrink my liver. For the liquid part, strained egg drop soup from any Chinese place was a God Send. Tomorrow I am 2 weeks out from surgery, 28 pounds lighter, and feel so much better already. I would never have thought that a scrambled egg with cheese would fill me up, lol. If there is anything I can help you with, just holler ok? John S. aka Corkyspop
