OMG, your surgery is so soon! Good luck, I'll be following your blog and I hope everything goes great.

Thank You Sweetie.. I've been Ctually watching tons of updated videos and was actually thinking of doing those frequently but if not i may just do a video down the road with before and after pictures!!! But I must admit I have never enjoyed taking pictures or I've always been the one to stand in the back to hide my body but soon I won't have to.. ; )

You should totally do vids! I watch them all the time too. lol It's such a great way to see the changes as they happen. I see lots of WLS ladies (and a few men) doing it and sharing things like their diets, etc. too.

Jannettem, they didn't tell me anything about a low carb-diet just want to do the day before surgery.
March 26, 2013
Well I'm not sure why they didn't tell you about a diet program.. It's usually done to shrink your liver before surgery... Today I have an appt at the actual hospital for preregistration and I think another test!!!

Besides my 2 week hi protein and low carb, the day before I'm to only eat jello broth and clear fluids .. NPO after midnight!

Thank You Ladies.. I'm Currently On My Low Carb Hi Protein 2 Week Diet.. Yes Kirsty, Ive completed my Consultation, Seeing a psychologist, Dietician, Nutritionist, Completing My EKG and Blood Work.. I register at the hospital on the 26th.. It is actually happening and as long as I've waited to get this done, can't believe it will happen in less than 2 weeks. I will Definately keep an update! Thank You all Again!!!
