Hi im here

Ty for the invite

Yay! Just glad it worked!  LOL

I'm here too!

Good on you for setting this up!

Thanks guys!  Now I have no idea how to run this thing!!   Feel free to just right in...I will start off by asking how everyone is doing hydrating??  I'm at a little over 104 oz today...still have to walk though.  Feeling pretty good...day 6 liquid diet! 

I'm pre-op but the dr is not requiring me to do the liquid diet before surgery. Still, I am trying to cut the calories in the run-up week so that I have a bit of a head start. Surgery is in one week. Just got to get as much done at work as I can!

My mouth has the metallic taste because of keo. Check the scale said 299. People ask me if iam dieting i said no just adjusting to my new life style.

great job!  it isn't a diet! we're just living our lives the way we need to with a little help 

So my surgery is scheduled for the 18th.  I keep reading about everyone else doing a liquid diet in the 2 weeks prior.  Mine is a low calorie but it isn't liquid.  Is there a specific reason for the liquid diet other than shrinking the liver?

Congrats on your date!  I've only heard it's about the liver and making room...I guess every program is different 

Hi everyone!   I will have my RNY on the 24th.  My surgeon isn't requiring a pre surgery liquid diet, until the day before, then it is clear liquids only for 24 hours.

i am practicing sipping water every day, and taking vitamins to get ready.  I also have been exercising 5 times a week for the last 4 months doing water aerobics, but with winter coming, that program is coming to a close, so I will have to transition.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone, and to getting started on our journey to a new life together!
