Good for you. I haven't been as strong on the liquid only diet as you. Did have 2 scrambled eggs yesterday for breakfast-couldn't take the heartburn any more. Doing better already today. Drinking my Apple Extasy protein drink as I type. I am scheduled for the 31st, and am excited and alittle scared at the same time. My DH has been drinking the shakes with me at meals, the kids don't even ask what is going on anymore. People are truly amazing that they think this is easy and that we are taking the easy way out. If they only could really understand the truth that we are making and doing the most difficult decisons and changes in our lives. Best of luck to you next week.

Good for you girl.

It is tough, but soooo worth it. I had my surgery on Feb.18th and just had my first fill yesterday. Keep that liquid going. It makes such a difference on your liver prior to surgery.

You will do great.

the liquid diet will test your will power, i can say for 14 day i didnt cheat not one time, and this was during Christmas, amazed myself and my family that I stuck to it. Knowing what you have coming is SO worth it!

What i can tell you and I dont want to be negative, but it is a possibility, after you can eat again u may try a "no no" food and be like oh that went down, so maybe i will try something else. DONT DO IT, it is the beginning of a very slippery slide. Example the other day i really thought i need a piece of candy, reminder, just because you had the surgery and made your tummy smaller your head still thinks it can do what it did before, so instead of eating 1 piece i ended up eating 25 pieces, yes 25 "fun size" pieces. There was NO fun in that but I couldn't stop. I felt so guilty that i did a 2 day liquid diet to "punish" myself. Just remember stay positive, set obtainable goals, and your weight gain didn't happen over night and neither will the weight loss. All the struggles and fighting is SO SO worth it. Keep in mind the big pictire. I have lost 37lbs since my 12/30/10 surgery, 56lbs since my highest weight and I FEEL SO MUCH better!! I wish you the best of luck and stay strong!
