Fatboy_Slim

Well, I plan on donating most, HOWEVER--I do plan on a ceremonial bon-fire at the beach in which I shall burn my fat jeans and a 4X shirt.

Hi again Sha! Well consider yourself very lucky, I started mine two days ago and am not allowed to eat ANY food. liquids only consisting of Protein shakes, juices, low cal drinks, Jello, and thank god a little yogurt. broth is an option but I can't seem to sip it, blah! It has been tough but I guess the good part is that in the first two days I lost ten pounds! Take care and can't wait for the 10th!!!! FatBoy to soon be Slimboy

Hi Shah, I am with ya, also scheduled for Nov. 10th, yes!! Today I had my endoscopy and they found a small hiatal hernia, I think they can fix that during the procedure..i hope!...especially hope that doesn't delay it. Take Care and good luck! FBS :w00t:

Hi, That's one concern I guess I have thought about many times as well. What to do at a dinners, events, etc. I really enjoy a slow dinner with friends, hoping I can still find enjoyment after Nov. 10th. I suppose small bites of everything over a couple hours works?? How do you feel post-op!? Cheers

Hi Corkee, I belive it is the norm, and the length of the liquid diet probably depends both on your physician and your weight or other medical conditions. It was explained to me as a way to shrink your liver and abdominal fat--allowing the surgeon to work easier around while operating. For me, I am dreading it a bit because next Wednesday I have to start a 3 week liquid diet before surgery on the 10th of November. Yikes!! Regards, Fatboy_Slim

Good deal John! I am getting mine Nov 10 and it's good to see another guy on here. I am starting out at 332 and hope to get under 200! Peace
