Hi CV, Good luck on your surgery, mine is next Wednesday. The liquid diet has not been that bad you can do it...Looking forward to seeing you on the other side.

Nothing but the best for you and I. Have a good day, keep smiling.

Hi, one thing I know for sure people hate change. Just remember your real friends will stick by you. I went to a support group and one of the speakers said that she has lost so many so called friends due to her weight loss. I am noticing since I have been on this liquid one of my friends doesn't come around and the other one keeps telling me I am losing my eating partner and trying to push me to do jenny craig.

I love to entertain and cook for my family and friends so this is going to be different, but my health is more important and so is yours.

Continue doing whats best for you, and good luck with your surgery.

Thanks PhatGurl, it is 14 days and it is not so bad. Have you been sleeved?

Hi, welcome to the group. And good luck on your journey.

Hi creed, today was my 3rd day and things went better than expected. I am glad you slept well. Yes we will be skinny one day. I am looking forward to it.

Hang in there and keep smiling.

Hi, This is a great forum. I am so glad I found this site. I am scheduled to be sleeved on 01/18, I was scared to death to follow through with it. But I prayed and gave it to GOD. Today I went for my surgery clearance and things went well. I know it is going to be hard and such a big change, but the fear of me going on dialysis or having a heart attack scares me even more. Make the best coice for you and know the people on this site are very imformative and helpful.

Good luck to you.

Go to dinner with your head held high. Your husband loves you, or else he would not be with you. You are working on your weight so don't let that be a factor right now. Go out enjoy yourself and most of all your husband. Time will take care of the weight. Have fun.

Thank you so much.

Hi Rachel, Thanks for the info. I called the Nutrionist yesterday and she told me I could eat one meal at the end of the day,4-6 ounces of lean meat and non-starchy vegetables. So I am in 7th heaven. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Hi, You are not alone. I started my pre-op diet today and I am doing ok with it but what I wouldn't do for a chili dog right now...lol

I pray things work out well for you. I am just the opposite I don't care who knows I am doing it for health reasons.

Good luck to, I pray things go well.

Hi, I just wanted to share something with you regarding the broth. I read somewhere where some people use the broth from the chicken noodle soup, they said it justs tste better. I think I will try that as well it might work for you. Good luck on your surgery mine is 01/18/12.
