AHHH, it's almost the 30th! I'm so excited! Today is day 8 of the liquid pre-op diet and I'm down 13lbs. THIRTEEN POUNDS IN 8 DAYS.. I'm shocked! Dieting like this hasn't been hard for me at all, knowing what's coming :) The other night my husband's family (they're very selfish people anyhow..) ate CHINESE FOOD in front of me.. I suppose I could have gone in the other room, but I sat at the table and sipped on my protein shake and ate my jello! I've been very surprised with myself and how much will-power I have right now. And I can't wait to see how the weight comes off after surgery! It's just melting away right now :)

When I told my sister that I had lost this weight her response was "See, it's easy for you to lose weight.." I don't think she realized it, but that really irritated me. Anyone consuming less than 600 calories a day is going to lose weight... and doing this "diet" isn't easy. And it certainly isn't something that can become a lifestyle. To be honest... I am STARVING! I want a huge chef salad. Haha... alright now I'm starting to get side tracked. Anyway... I'm feeling good right now! And I just can't wait!!!!! I had my pre-admission testing done yesterday and everything is good to go, just counting down the days! 6 DAYS! AHHH!

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!
