day 5 of all liquids, down 10lbs so far ... it's getting a little easier to stick with it. first 3 days were hard and i just wanted a big fat juicy cheeseburger !!!!! 11 days left

My pre op 7 shakes per day. The pre op liquid diet is to help shrink the liver to get it out of the way so it's safer for laparoscopic surgery.

Tiggy, dr long took out my band in 2010 after complications I wasn't ready for a revision but now it's time for the bypass , I regret not having it then but I wasn't ready. I'm ready now and will definitely be at the support group meetings. I'm going to need all the help I can get. : ) -
Just had my last normal meal and some double stuff Oreo's. can't believe surgery is 2 weeks from tomorrow the nerves really kicked in during my final pre op this past Tuesday. It's happening and I'm ready.
