I know it gets old! I struggled with just 1 week of it! Get creative though. Are you allowed to have smoothies? What about Soups (not just clear broth)? Different doctors require different things. My doctor said liquids only for 1 week (liquids being anything that can be sucked thru a straw (even a big straw)). Also, think about that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You can totally do this! The liquid diet isn't forever!

Where do you get Isopure at?

Awesome! I have to be there at the hospital tomorrow at 6am also!!!! Wishing you the best tomorrow!

What all are they having you do? My big day is tomorrow also and I don't have to do any bowel prep.

The squash is actually real good. Google on how to cook the squash. It is a really good substitute.

You may not be eating enough. Working out burns calories. Depending on the activity you may need to consume a few more calories.

Good luck! My surgery is on Tuesday!

You can also use spaghetti squash.

1. Get back into kickboxing 2. Complete a full marathon (I have already done 7 halfs at this high weight) 3. Improve my half marathon time 4. Fit into a size 10 or 12 5. Fit into airplane seats comfortably 6. Be able to cross my legs 7. Be able to do a hand stand (silly I know. I have always wanted to do one)

Not yet. I was nervous because my daughter has been sick for 9 1/2 days now (running a fever). We didn't know what it was. I was afraid that I'd have to postpone the surgery if she didn't get better. Luckily, the doctor received some of her tests back this morning and we figured out that she has a UTI. So she isn't contagious (which I was worried I'd get what she had or she wouldn't be better) and she can be treated with meds. Now come Monday I'll probably be nervous.

I am going to Barker Bariatrics in Dallas. They are next to Forest Park Medical Center (on the North East side of Forest Lane and 75).

I am on Feb 12!!!!!!!!! Are you nervous yet?

I am currently preparing to be sleeved on 2/12. I am in the pre-op diet phase (which I am finding it very difficult because I am ALWAYS hungry!!!!!). I have my vitamins ordered and should be here tomorrow. I ordered some liquid Tylenol and some weight loss cook books that should be here on Thursday. The only thing I have left to do is buy the clear liquids for after the surgery. I will be on 1 week of clear liquids. That will be followed by 1 week of full liquids. Then 4 weeks of liquids/soft foods. I want to have enough to get me buy for a couple of weeks so I will do my shopping this weekend. I am also starting to think about what all I am going to pack. I don't want to overpack. I will probably wear my clothes to the hospital that I am going to wear home. I'll get some Gas X for the gas pains. I will pack my iPad and phone. Anything else that I will need? I plan on wearing the hospital gowns and some flip flops. Here are my before pictures that I took this evening: Front shot Side shot Back shot Face shot

Hi all! My surgery is on 2/12. I am also in Texas!

It definitely sounds interesting. Let us know how it actually turns out

I started my preop diet yesterday. I have been hungry the whole time!!! I'm supposed to be doing liquids/soups/shakes/etc...
