Welcome to the other side. Getting through the first week is a little tough but after that it's downhill! Walk, walk, walk and give yourself time to heal.
Thank you so much for the inspiration. I'm just about a couple of months in and I'm still amazed at how little I can eat. I have finally learned the "you better stop now" point I read the forums a lot and I'm always on the hunt for positive information and progress updates from the veterans who take the time to come back and encourage everyone. Congratulations on your success!
Thanks for that great advice! I have invested lots of $$$$ in protein shakes but didn't even think about the meal replacement. I love this website I start my liquid diet on 12/12 in 4 short days which moves me 4 days closer to surgery on 12/26/12
