Hello everyone! I've been a member here for a while but have never posted anything. My surgery daye is set for july 8th. I'm on day 5 of my 2 week liquid diet. I went for my final appointment today and I've lost 13 pounds since I started the liquid diet. I'll have to say that the first 2 or 3 days were the hardest. The worst part of the day is when I'm cooking dinner for the kids and husband. The only thing getting me through this is humor and support from friends and family.

I did the liquid diet as well for two weeks, and my surgeon didn't weigh before my surgery last Monday I was like hmmm wonder why he didn't..? well it's over looking forward to swelling going down, enjoy the liquiids because its a full week after as well, but it will be worth it in the end .....

Good for you. You will be amazed at how your positive attitude through this tough time will get you through other tough times. I often think girl if you could live without chewing any food for 3 weeks you can do anything! I am still so proud that I made it and you will be too. It's so worth it. Good luck!!
