Stay positive! You can do it. I set myself a goal and planned my surgery and took vacation to be off work. I worked Monday surgery Tuesday and will be back at work Monday! I have looked at this as a blessing and all the clear broth and hard times are worth it because once your past the surgery you can get slowly get back to normal food just better eating and smaller amounts. My mom had sleeve May 2014. Presurgery she was on BP meds, diabetic, and oxygen 24/day. She is down 60+ pounds. No longer on bp meds, off oxygen except at night and uses sliding scale for her diabetic meds which have been cut back as well. Have faith in yourself. We "humans" can accomplish the most difficult tasks with the right focus, mind set, attitude, and willpower. Set your goal and go!

My mother is set to have sleeve May 20. To show her support and practice I'm doing the two week liquid diet with her. I plan to have sleeve in Aug or sept. We only started today. Oh my I'm not a cry baby however I am STARVING. The Protein drink was awful. So I'm concerned with doing this for two plus weeks. Seeking suggestions. Thanks you

Thanks for the replies I'm a bit frustrated myself as I find that I have stuck to the liquid plan and seem to have gained four pounds in less than one week. How can This be? Now all I really want is to break form and go out to eat. Feeling sad
