I have a DATE! February 15 - Dr. Johnson's 1st surgery of the day! Already packing my bags for the hospital. Might camp out in the parking lot just to be sure I'm not late.

Hi,

I am starting to get nervous and excited. 13 days until surgery. I have my nutrition class tomorrow, and I believe I have to do a liquid diet for a week before. I will get all of the information tomorrow.

How is everyone else doing?

This girl is sooo jealous of those who do not have to do a liquid diet or only have one week of it. My two weeks are killing me and I am only on day 3. I am so sick of shakes and optifast soup.

Hi All, good on ya all!:biggrin1: Hey Baby I am on 3 weeks of Optifast!

:biggrin1: Nearly there! Susannah

Yea! I can join a group now! My surgery date is 2/15 and I can't think of a better Valentines Day gift to myself. Who knows, maybe next year I'll have a date for Valentines Day.

I'm being banded by Dr. Malley in Kansas. My Supervisors are throwing a food orgy for me on 2/8 and bringing all my favorite foods that I will no longer be gorging on after my surgery.

I can't wait. Good luck to everyone on their upcoming surgery.

Hello everyone!! this is my first post... I'm having surgery in 7 days (Feb 1st). Start liquid diet today. I can't wait to get back in shape!! I'll be the first person that I know of to have the surgery. I hope this works, with out major complications. I am an E.R. Nurse and I really want to inspire others. This is a great site. I've gotten a lot of valuable information here. Good luck to all... I'll be sure to let you all know how I am doing...

Susannah how can you stand it. I hate being such a whiner but I am unbelievably miserable on this stuff. I feel exhausted all the time and totally depressed that I can't eat. Heck I am even craving healthy food like grilled fish or cottage cheese.

susannah · 01-25-2007, 05:51 AM

Gday Babygrl, believe me it does get easier, and your body becomes used to it more each day. I may have an advantage here as it is summer and the weather is hot. I always eat less and lighter in summer.
Keep at it, the time will pass. Susannah

babygrl1234 · 01-25-2007, 05:57 AM

Thats good to know. I have had to pass on duties like feeding the kids and buying food to hubby right now because I can't even deal with it. Heck I had to fork over my debit card and cash so I won't feel the need to stop for fast food. But hey I am starting to enjoy sugar free jello so I guess that is a plus!Are you getting so ecxited for your surgery?

susannah · 01-25-2007, 06:03 AM

Gday Baby, I am not really excited, but more nervous to be honest. I will feel a bit more relieved when it is all over and I have recovered from it.
One week to go. Susannah

babygrl1234 · 01-25-2007, 06:07 AM

You will be fine =). I was a bit nervous for awhile but this whole optifast thing has me wishing for Feb 6.

TracyinKS · 01-25-2007, 08:44 AM

Susannah and BabyGrl: You guys are so close now... I feel for ya though having to do liquids... YUCK
