ashiashley 42 Posted January 20, 2013 Tomorrow I start my one week of liquids and I have to say this is stressing me out more than the surgery itself! I work two jobs plus have a family. I can't imagine how I might feel and the thought of liquids only while still having to work and do all my normal things is freaking me out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
able2cope 193 Posted January 20, 2013 I'm in Scotland, UK - and the waiting lists are crazy - they kept saying that they had other priorities, and other areas had to be done first - they only had slots for X amount per financial year.. I have to say though, that despite the wait - it has been worth it. You won't regret your decision! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashiashley 42 Posted January 21, 2013 Well, I got my first day of liquids done and I didn't feel bad at all. Tomorrow should be interesting. I'm sure I will be ravenous by then. If I'm lucky the rest of the days will hopefully be this easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm lucky the rest of the days will hopefully be this easy.[/quote'] Some days seem so easy and others are pretty rough. I cannot find a pattern of why when analyzing what i have eaten. I do have a shake in the evening so i do not wake up hungry. That does seem to help start the day correctly. I am also trying to not let myself get too hungry for fear of not staying true to the plan. Good luck and hang in there. We can do anything needed to get to the surgery!
