  12. I am feeling fine...just CRAVING FOOD! Has anyone else gone through this! I know I am not hungry but its just the norm to put food in my mouth! I am on the full liquid diet right now every half hour water..protein drinks cottage cheeese jelllo or yogurt. i am fine with it just sucks to be around real food ! Any way i have no pain other than acid i think and thats it a little bit sore but not on any meds. Its hard when you have kids and they are snacking and eating and i cant..i know its mental!
  13. It is REALLY hard..... I feel better to know that I am not alone....My surgery is the 19th and I pray all goes well I am excited about a new way of life...I just want it over already!
  14. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am doing pretty good with the cottage cheese, yogurt and jello and PROTEIN SHAKES and the times I have eaten solid food it was chicken, steak and string cheese! Thank you for letting me know its the carbs and sugar that will interfere with this process to shrink the liver. It doesnt give me permission to do it and I will still stay on track as much as possible. As for how many days I was told today in my pre op class that it depends on your bmi.....i am starting out at 400 lbs.... what a big number and I am ashamed to say it but it is what it is...
  15. I have had a couple of bites of solid foot ( meat) during my diet . I am at day 3! HELP
