OK< thanks for asking all of my questions too. and thanks for all teh answers! i have been approved for surgery and just need pulm clear on thurs. I am trying to do the liquid thing so I am ready for surgery on Nov 1st (probable date). I am starting to get nervous. I did do a liquid diet in the past, was sucessfull and devoted. This time, knowing I will never get a christmas cookie or a taffy apple is killing me. I am in the medical profession and I undstand how silly this is compared to the benifits of tx of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. But when it comes down to it I am nervous. not about surgery, that is clinical. About teh "loss of food". I reallize I sound like a wack job, but I feel i need to be honest to be sucessfull. I am 207#, how do these people who are #307 or #407 go from thier eating pattern to liquid diet for two weeks and stay faithful. I want to make post of as easy as possible. astomp
