My mom is 8 months post-op & she swears that this is the hardest part & it's totally worth it. After 7 days of her liquid diet she didn't even miss food or her diet cokes (stone cold Dcoke addict) ????lol. I'm worried about that part myself because I've never had to be on such a restrictive diet before. I thought gestational diabetes was HELL ????& the pre surgery diet will be even worse for me...I'm such a baby! Lol! Just hang in there girl & keep your eye on the prize ????
