I received a great box of goodies from my pen pal. I also met a great person

I agree about the changes. This site is wonderful I love how positive and helpful people are.

I'm so excited and ready to get this over and done with!!

I am on day 10 of my liquid diet, most 15lbs as of Friday. My surgery is May 2nd. I agree with you if I stay busy I find it keeps my mind off being hungry.

It gets easier with each day. At first I didn't think I could do it but everyone keeps telling me to think sn out the end result!!

If I can do it without cheating anyone can! You just have to set your mind to it!!

You are doing great! ! I'm on day 10 of the liver shrinking diet. I have lost 15lbs which surprised me lol

I agree with you too, I only have 5 days left off the liquid .

Hi, one of the thing my diet v consist of is broth so you should be fine. My surgery is May 2nd and I'm getting nervous and excited!

Hi, just follow your doctors instructions. Everyone here is very supportive and informative. Just take one day at a time!! Good luck.

I have 6 days on my liquid diet, s nd than surgery. Yipee

Went for my pre-op testing, lost 15lbs, I'm finally below 400lbs. I'm so excited!

One week down here to. One week to go. When are you being banded? May 2 here! ! Can't wait to get my new life started! !!

Not sure about the regular vitamin water, put into a call to your doctor office and ask. I'm on the same type off diet, but they just added 3 hard boiled eggs, see if maybe you could add them to your diet. Not sure how many calories though!!

Everyone's pre-op diet is different, what does your diet consist of?

When do you start your pre-op diet? I've been on mine for 6 days. It was really hard in the beginning but got easier with each day and I just keep thinking of the end results.

I am a sweet tea person myself. I just quit cold-turkey, boy did i have headaches. I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet and it does get easier each day. Just take one day at a Time and you will be fine! !

On day 5 of the pre-op diet, I found that I'm not as hungry and the headaches have pretty much gone away. I have 10 days till my surgery, I don't know if I'm more excited or nervous! !

Good luck.....you will do fine. Just listen to all the good advice you will find on this site. Also listen to your doctor! ! Keep posting I will be here!

Good luck....just remember you can do it!!

Thank-you so much for sharing your journey with us. You have great advice. The lsst two days have been rough but like everyone had been telling me I thinking of the end result. I'm still excited though!
