Nine days!

Super excited that I'm down to 9 days. Been on the pre-op diet for 4 days now and getting used to it. Only now I've been battling a cold for the last couple days. I have my final appointment with the surgeon tomorrow. I've been popping vitamin C hoping to get this out of my system. I'm terrified that it will hold me up.

Other than that, it is starting to feel more definite. I can hardly believe this is going forward as many years as I've thought about it and talked about it with my doctors. I've been on here doing a lot of reading and seeing that what I'm experiencing is so normal. It's good to see so many friendly supportive people here!

Hi!!! So excited for you on this new journey. Did your surgeon require a 7 day liquid diet before the surgery? They only required me to do 2 days!

I have to do a 2 week liver reduction diet. I have two protein shakes a day and 1 meal of 3-4 oz protein and 2 cups of non starchy vegetables. I can have 1 snack of 6oz low sugar yogurt, 2 oz soft cheese, or 4 oz cottage cheese. It's not horrible. Yet haha.

In jealous you get real food! I'm on a 1 week liquid only. The only reason I'm not on 2 weeks of liquids is bc I'm a revision, not a first timer. I start next Tuesday. Blah!

I don't know if I could handle liquid only! Good luck with your surgery! Mine is now just 4 days away and I'm still fighting this cold. It's slowly getting better.

You're on the downward slope! You're doing great. I'm very happy for you. That cold will be gone, I'm sure. I'd tell you not to worry, but I understand that's impossible

It sure is! I keep trying to keep my anxiety under control. I'm getting there.

Better to get that cold out of your system now than for it to pop up 9 days from now. Feel better and good luck!

Good luck! You'll be glad you took the leap.

You're in the final stretch now :-)
