2 Weeks of Fluid

By ajolson1964

Wow I don't know about the rest of you but man the two weeks I spent prior to my surgery was no walk in the park the first few days. I just kept telling myself hey this is for the greater good and if I am going to do this I want to give myself every opportunity to succeed. It was rough but I got past it and so if you are struggling remember "The greater good"!!!!!!!! The new you, the long life, the great times you can have with your spouse, the new found energy or whatever your modification is. Time does not stand still and sooner or later surgery day will come.

    Good advice lol I feel like I should be taking notes cause there are things on everyones blogs that I never really thought of!

    QUESTION: Do you have to lose 10% of your weight and then go to the liquid diet or is the liquid diet how you lose the 10%?

    That is how you loose the pounds is the liquid diet. That was a tough time too. But you do survive and what is two weeks of you life anyway? But a blimp on the radar
