I am in Midland, Texas...surgery was Oct. 8...down 27 lbs since surgery, with a total loss of 60 lbs.

I am in the hospital...IV started...just waiting to go to the holding area...I'm so nervous..scared...doubting my decision..but I'm not going to back out now. To all the others having surgery today..Best of Luck and well wishes...we are almost on the losers bench!

I had headaches for a few days but they went a way...I am on day 12 of liquid diet...I stopped getting hungry about day 9. I am now having trouble getting the 7 Protein drinks in...I can get two..possibly 3....so hang in there..it gets easier...my surgery is this coming Monday ( Oct. 8 ). Don't get discouraged...if I can do two weeks of broth, Protein Drinks, and Jello, anyone can. Prayers for all. We are STRONG!!!

I'm on day seven of liquids...I want something to eat sssooooooo bad....I thought I'd be past that by now....come on 8 th!!!!!!!

I am having some of that anxiety over favorites too...been so tempted to say " forget this" and just eat. I am day 6 of liquid diet? and keep telling myself I can do this for 8 more days....I'm not as hungry as days 1-3... so I must have that " head hunger" I've been reading about. Yes, I am sad that I am losing ( have lost) my comfort foods..but we are strong and we will do this!! Hang in there and May God Bless!

Thats awesome! Great job!

My surgery date is October 8th. I start my liquid diet Sept. 24th and have to stay on it for two weeks. I am not looking forward to the liquids for that long and I'm scared I won't make it that long with just liquids. I will just have to keep reminding myself that I won't get the surgery if I don't stick to the liquid diet. I too, am cleaning my house (deep cleaning). I don't want to have to worry about that kind of stuff, even tho it will need dusting and vacuuming before I am able. I went through my cabinets, fridge, and freezer and got rid of all the foods I can't have. My poor cabinets are now bare. Fridge is cleaned out and filled with Muscle Milk Light, jell-o and bottled water. I wish everyone all the best in their new adventure finding the healthy you! May God be with all!
