The jury is in! Liquid diets SUCK!

[mp8btpc 33]

I started my liquid diet today, and let me say I kept reading everyone post their struggles with the pre-op diet and while I could totally sympathize with them I really didn't connect the dots of the emotional strain it has on a person. I am not really that hungry, that I can deal with, I am however already an emotional mess about this second time going for surgery and this lack of having my buddy Mr. food to lean on is getting to me.

I didnt have to do a pre-op diet before the last trip because I have a lower BMI, this doctor however requires it so I am doing what is asked of me like a good girl.

Right now though I am totally screwed in the head, I am really quiet and just want to crawl under a rock and sleep until time for surgery Friday.

I am dreading the stupid 5 hour drive to San Diego and the anticipation of surgery is freaking me out. I was not close to being this scared when I went in June, now I am like a weak, simpering wuss and I try to not even think about the surgery. Now I just want something to ease the nerves and food is off the list! WTH.

Just think about how good you will feel when you are losing all that extra weight. Keep us posted.

Its natural that you'll be scared...... but it'll come round son enough and be over with before you know it... I can't begin to think how quick the past 8 weeks have gone for me already.

Good luck with your pre op diet.... do stick with it, it'll be worth it.
