Thanks for your support! I was super crabby last night. I only have a few things I can drink for protein shakes per my surgeons orders and those are slimfast, boost, ensure and carnation instant breakfast. I am going to call on monday to see if I can have anything on the clear liquid list cause I can't just drink slimfast and water for 10 days. My surgeon wants me to get in 5-6 of those shakes in a day does that sound like a lot of carbs or something?

I am on day 2 of my 11 day liquid diet and let me tell you that I think I am going mad! I hate it and it seems to me that everyone around me is eating constantly. I am watching Letterman right now and he has a comic on that is doing his whole stand up bit on bacon. Ahhhhhhhhhh I will be so glad once I can move to the clear liquid stage at least I will be able to have SF jello at least I will feel like I am eating something. 9 more long days to go. I have been drinking slimfast with added protein powder and as of right now I am really starting to hate the chocolate flavor. I was never a big fan of chocolate so it is a bit much for me. The only thing that sucks is chocolate slimfast is the only one I can stand. I think I am going to go buy some carnation instant breakfast, boost or ensure tomorrow for something different. I have been eating chicken broth for dinner so thats something different. My family had pepperoni pizza for dinner tonight and I had to do everything in my power not to eat a slice or 5! I know that it will all be worth it in the end, but is anyone else feeling like I am? Sorry for the long post!

I actually started a day early, so that means I am in liquid diet hell right now! hee hee hee! It's going better than I thought so hopefully the next 11 days fly by! I can hardly believe that all this time has passed and it's my turn now it's kinda weird but in a good way! I already got my magic bullett working (slim fast with added Protein powder is my drink of choice!) and it's been great! Did you lose any weight on the pre-op diet? I am hoping to lose about 10-12 lbs.

Keep us posted! I have 12 more days!

What's up? I'm Crystal, 25, from the frozen tundra (aka Minnesota). I'm not banded yet but will be on 1/28/08 I am just starting my slimfast diet week this week and full liquids next week. Nice to meet you all!
