I'm on day 1 of my liquid diet, surgery on the 25th. Almost made it through day 1. It is weird not eating solid food.

Anyone else have a Gattaca (movie) feeling?

I start liquids tomorrow. I'm more stressed about that than anything else. Weird how our minds perceive things. But I'm on schedule because I've already lost more than they wanted me to lose at this point. I'm mostly stressing about being tired and being able to focus at work!! I'm ready for Sept 27th to get here!!

I was sleeved yesterday. It was a breeze! Very little pain. I'm a little hungry, but mostly just thirsty. I had my X-ray today to make sure there were no leaks, and now I am allowed a tiny amount of Water each hour. Tomorrow I get some Clear Liquids, and should head home at noon.

feel free to ask qustions!

Congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you and I am so happy everything went so well and you are doing this great one day after surgery. My date is next Tuesday, the 19th. Boy, I hope I come through as well as you!

I got half my staples out yesterday!!! Woot!!! And was cleared to start eating cottage cheese. I've never really been a cc eater - any suggestions since I can't have it with fruit or anything?

Glad you guys are doing well!! And good luck to those coming up!!! I'm 13 days out and loving it!!!

I start liquids tomorrow too, surgery on Tuesday. I'm worried about getting through the liquid part, as mostly about being put to sleep. Everything else is done, I'm just waiting now.

Glad it went well! Was it hard to keep the Water down? Was there anything that surprised you or that you weren't expecting?

I sometimes eat it with some splenda sprinkled on top. Not sure if artificial sweeteners are ok so soon after surgery. If you can eat scrambled eggs, you can add some cottage cheese to the eggs while still warm and it will melt into the eggs.

I have also heard of people putting it in the blender to get rid of lumps and then freezing it. They say it has the consistency of ice cream then. I have not tried it though.

Hi Angel11!!

I am having my surgery on the 19th. I have been doing the liver shrink diet for the past three weeks. I am super excited about finally having the surgery. I started the process back in January of this year. It doesn't even seem that long ago. I hope all goes well for you!!!
