My first week of pre op diet is done. Not to bad. was hungry the first 2 days and now I am breezing by. Start the pure liquid diet Wednesday with the drinks the hospital gave me. I have to drink them along with clear liquids for 5 days before surgery. But I was told it is the same amount of calories as the first 9 days. On a high note I lost 4lbs in the first week.

One week still surgery. My anxiety is on a high (sucks to have panic disorder). I cant wait to see the new me this time next year. Of coarse I worry about failure again but that is the panic talking. I feel that I can do this now.

Thanks you all for such great support on here. Everyone is so helpful. God Bless you all!

    Sounds good, I wish you luck. I am a week post-op and I have to say it was a strange week. It's amazing how odd I felt on day 1 and how good I feel on day 7. Every day gets better and better so don't let it get you down if you feel like poo the first day day or two or three. I started turning the corner after 3 days.
