9 days to go

Hi everyone!  I completed my pre-op stuff yesterday and started the wonderful Opti-Fast diet today.  I am doing okay so far.....yes I am a little hungry but trying not to linger on that thought too long.  Please tell me the next 9 days will go FAST!!!!!!

The next 9 days will be gone before you know it.  Just hang in there; this a necessary part of the journey.  Making sure you are getting all of your fluids in will help with some with the hunger.

Tammy,
I had to do 2 weeks of Atkins style dieting before my surgery which was of course much easier than an all liquid diet. But I am now on my post surgery liquid diet and finding it much easier so far than I had imagined it would be. Maybe I'm jumping ahead of myself only 5 days into it, LOL, but so far I really have no appetite. I can have SF popsicles and SF jello but have opted to save those for next week cause I'll probably be sick of all the liquid by then. But we have to keep our eyes on the prize, right?! All this will be worth it in the end! Hang in there and concentrate on the final results you expect to get in the long run!!

Hugs,
Rhonda

Rhonda,

Thank you so much!  I needed to hear how well someone was doing.  I know if I can make it through the next 3 or 4 weeks I will be okay.  Yesterday was a little rough but I made it!!  Today seems to be a little better and hopefully tomorrow will be a little better than today. 
Good Luck and We CAN Do THIS!!!!!!!

IT WILL FLY BY. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR UPCOMING SURGERY. VICK

Yes Tammy, these last days will fly by.  Do what you can to keep yourself busy during this time.  Complete any heavy tasks that you want done.  Eases the worries for later on.
