Thanks! I'm still a few months pre-surgery, hoping for end of September. Maybe the reality hasn't hit me yet.. I didn't do very well with my 6 months of Dietary counseling. I've gotten so fed up with diets, that i haven't taken this 100% serious YET. Doing my research & learning what to expect- but i might just be somewhat blind sided the day of surgery.
This may sound crazy, and correct me if i'm on the wrong course... but im likening this to a person in an accident.. they wake up in the hospital & maybe they've lost a limb... they need to do rehab & learn how to live their life in a different way.. being forced to. or refuse to & live a very unhappy life. i want to be the person who is determined to make the change, go with the 'rehab' and struggles, but come out in the long run a winner.
Today i don't feel like a winner, because I KNOW what to eat, what to avoid, what to buy, what to stay away from.. but.. do i do it? not everytime... but if i don't now...in September it will be a must!
I'm 48 next month, i have 3 grandsons; 5 months - 4 years old. i want the second 1/2 of my life to be healthy and happy..
Can i do this? I CAN...if i can get the mind set & take that first step...
this is more of a mind game than a weight loss problem!
What did YOU do, pre-surgery, when the reality of the seriousness of surgery hit you?

Hi.. Quick question.. When you are on the liquid diet, can you make Protein smoothies & add fruit or sugar free puddings...etc? If it's all blended, it's "liquid"... Isn't it?
Thx
