Anyone else scheduled for Jan. 17 or around there? I start my liquid diet in 3 days. My last meal will be mexican! Already had pizza and a big fat juicy cheeseburger earlier this week. While I will miss some foods, I am so ready to lose weight and keep it off!!!

Congratulations! I'm scheduled for Jan15th. I don't start my liquid diet until Jan.1st. How come you have to start so early? I was worried about 2 weeks! I'm trying to wrap my head around how that's gonna go--- I'm worried about blood sugar being low and jst feeling really hungry and grumpy! I teach kindergarten so I'm a little worried for my babies! Lol Hopefully, it won't be too bad!

I have to do three weeks liquid diet because I weigh so much But I'm going to do it! I'm hoping it will help me curb my emotional eating...not that I'm a whack job but i eat for the wrong reasons. My plan is to just drink a Protein Shake when i can't imagine i'm going to make it one more minute without something in my stomache. But still get all the shakes in on one day..don't want to deprive myself - ha. You're going to need all the support you can get with all those little ones around - ha! Just remember to breathe before you react Let's keep in touch!

I'm scheduled for Jan 9th. My Dr. wants me on a 1500 calorie diet a day for two weeks before surgery. (I guess I got lucky) He told me to lose 5 or 6 lbs before surgery. That starts the day after Christmas! Congrats and lets all keep in touch!

Wow Beckeboo! You DID get lucky! Lol hope all goes well for all of you! I definitely want to keep hearing from you all! I think it will help knowing there is somebody else out there going through the same thing!

I'm also scheduled for January 17! My surgeon doesn't require a preop liquid diet but I have been trying to lose some weight. I plan on really kicking it up after New Years. Mexican sounds pretty good as a last meal!!!!

Hi. I'm scheduled for surgery on January 2nd and also have to do a pre op diet. Mine started a week ago and I have 1 more week to go. It has been hard when the food is around but I made it through 2 Christmas parties without cheating so I know y'all can do it. Having the high 25-30 grams of Protein daily has been helpful to keeping satisfied. Its keeping all the yummy food out of my mouth that has been hard...but im on day 8 without cheating and feel great because I've already lost 9 pounds. Just hang in there and remember it is all in our minds...

Wow! That's awesome nemeclaud! Keep up the good work! That's very encouraging to me-- let's me know it is "doable"--- I just gotta keep the end result in mind! Let us know how things go with surgery.
