Thanks for posting, Ive picked up a lot of info from all of your post. My doctor just has me on a low carb <40 grams a day until the day before surgery...seems the majority of you are on liquids diet for 2 weeks prior? I am so excited...and a little nervous for the big day. Ive taken off three weeks from work...should that be enough? My job isnt very physical but does involve 14 hour days. Looking forward to joining all of you post surgery posters.

    I didn't have a liquid diet either, thank God. Mine was 10 days of 1000 calories so I did pretty good. I took 3 1/2 weeks off of work and I'm a big sissy. I handled work ok., I've heard of people going back after a week or 2. No way I could've managed that.
