[kacarter 0]

I am sooo nervous. My surgery date has been set for June 30...and my liquid pre-op diet begins on monday. Did I mention I am nervous?

I've never tried a diet like that before and I am worried on how well I will do on it. I just hope I can be strong. I work from home with my kids and temptation will be there. But I know that I want this surgery so bad and really need to lose weight for medical reasons and to feel better about myself.

My children are 4 yrs and 21 mths old so I will still have to pick up my little boy and don't know for sure yet on how much help I'll have after surgery. I am a person that doesn't get sick very often, so I feel like I'll recover faster than most people so I hope that it all works out.

Now I'm just ranting! :tongue2:~ But I am just so nervous! Pep talks are sooo welcome.....

I know you're nervous and that happens to most people. I see you have a goal of 64 pounds thats great! So look at this liquid diet and post op diet as a way to kick start your weight loss. Just think some people lose 5 pounds and some lose 30 pounds... Just keep that in mind when the head hunger hits.

You will be fine :tongue2: Come visit us often during the liquid phase we will keep you in line hehe

I too am on Clear liquids. Today is day 8 for me. I have been losing 1.5 lbs a day!! My date is June 17th. This is what I usually have everyday & lots of Water. Some days I have some clear Egg Drop Soup. The days I don't drink enough Water my loss is less. My Dr. also has me on 9 different Vitamin suppliments. I have only been able to take 4 of them so far b/c I couldn't find the other 5 in the form that I need them.

The first 3 days were the hardest. I was craving grilled chicken breast like no other. LOL!! But now I don't crave anything. The only challenge I have is the smells when I am cooking for my family. I have a hubby, & two boys, 6 & 8 yrs old. So I still have to cook. I also work from home. It's not all that bad. You can do it!!!

Here is what I eat everyday.
