Glad to see you are on your way.

I started my pre-op diet on Monday and didn't get really hungry until Thursday. The only solids I can have are the pieces that get missed by the blender. Cream soups, tomato soup, sugar free jello, gum, Lifewater, and Vitamin water sustain me. I'm saving broth for next week when I'm closer to surgery. Most of our hunger is mental so we have to be diligent in our thinking. Sure I had a craving or three but I've invested too much time, money and effort to turn back now. I believe we will all do well.

Mrs. Prisses, You took the words right out of my mouth! I hope that our journeys can influence other people in our community to see that wls is not an easy way out rather an option to help us live the lives God intended us to. Looking forward to a healthy future!

I really appreciate this post because I've been wondering happens when the honeymoon is over after the surgery. When I start my liquid diet I am supposed to max out at 1000 calories and 60 grams of protein daily. Maybe eating more will help you. Also, you sound like you lead a busy life, but are you tracking your food intake and exercise daily? That might help you see if you're eating enough to balance your calorie output.

Hi everyone! I am new here and interested in sharing and learning with the rest of you. My surgery is November 21st and I start my liquid diet November 7th. Anxious and excited for the life changes.

Hi Everyone! I'm Elizabeth. My surgery date is November 21, 2011. I am excited and anxious all at the same time. I feel like my life is about to become the one I've wanted to have since I was younger-healthy and happier. I joined this site because there is no advice like that of the experienced. Thanks to all of you that have posted comments on different threads, it is such a huge help. I look forward to sharing my journey with you and hope to be there for others as you have.

Thanks for the advice Sweety!

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies! Ann I hope that your surgery goes well. That is the day I start my 2 week liquid diet, I will be praying for you.
