Brandy~ 2 Posted April 14, 2008 YES!! I am on day two of liquids and yikes! I hear that the first few days are the worst so I am fully expecting it to get easier...are you doing a preop diet? I had bloodwork done today. I go in on 4/17 for my Preop with surgeon... if I have lost 5-10 pounds they said they wont put me on a pre op diet.. currently I have lost more than that but it's almost that time of the month so I am gonna balloon up any second I hope they realize that :rolleyes2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
