^{@@Natasha S. I am very excited!!! One more Day!!!}

@@Natasha S. Very!!!!

@@Natasha S. we are surgery twins!!! 4 more days!! Are you excited yet??

@ thanks so very much!!

Well to begin, my children are at the age where they can prepare meals on their own, and my husband would rather eat out than cook, but that's neither here nor there. He is very active in sports so weight has never been an issue for him so I would not even begin to strip him from whatever it is he wants to eat. He is a man who loves hot wings and beer and if that's what he wants, that's what he will have lol. but anywho.....UPDATE...I am currently 9lbs down and 5 days away from my surgery. I have been very successful at the liquid diet by incorporating some of the items some of you suggested. Jello has become my best friend!!!! Ultimately the change will start with me. My children, who are very impressionable, will eventually follow my new healthier ways of eating, which honestly, they sort of have jumped on the bandwagon a little already . My husband will be a working progress like myself, so patience is going to be tested on both ends. But I am going to let Jesus take the wheel on this and have faith that everything will work itself out.

I'm scheduled 8/14 glad to have some buddies[/fquote]

Same here!! Good luck!!

@Allstar1...is that an open invite because the group I am currently following isn't too great

Thank You all. I have the bouillon cubes so I will definitely give them a try, and I was sent some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Soups as well. My husband was looking like yours the other night @@Elode which was too funny. But all in all he supports me 100%, and he makes sure I stay on the right track at all times. Its just when I am away from home........lol...but today I have been doing good. I have some left over salmon and salad so that'll be my dinner. I am the primary cook in the house, but lately I have been having my oldest two girls participate in the meal preparation so I can stay out of the kitchen as much as possible. I have to cut as many corners as I can

You are almost there hun

I am aware that this doesn't get any easier after surgery, and where I can prepare healthier meals for my family I can not expect them to not want certain things all of a sudden because I am not allowed to have them anymore. That wouldn't be fair. I know that they should support me through the wls and after, however I made the choice to have this procedure for me first, which I hope we all did. My diet allows for a protein/veggie dinner, which I stated above. I have been able to eat this week, but next week is going to be tough for me with only doing liquids. The hobby thing sounds like a good idea, I guess I can find something else to keep me distracted lol. I am very strong willed but this is all new to me and I am trying to stay as disciplined as I possibly can to prepare for the rest of my life. I have even found places where I can begin eating away from home that serve healthier meals, like Zoes Kitchen for example, so I am definitely prepared for this long road ahead me. Thank you guys for the insight!

@@shellyd67 I am starving...lol..no but seriously I am struggling. I typically have my Protein in the mornings and afternoons and my mid day protein Snacks. For dinner I have been doing salad and fish, but that's is getting old and FAST. But we have to be strong. I start all liquids next week so I hope I am able to manage. You will be fine, I am trying to stay as positive as possible.

Hello everyone, I am currently mid week into the first week of my 2 week liver reduction diet and I can tell you that I am having a difficult time. Having to prepare meals for my family have proven to be the hardest adventure of all. I mean the food smell and look so good, but ultimately I know that I can not have any...PERIOD. How did you manage to prepare meals for your family without slipping a piece or two in your mouths. How did you get over the cravings and urges....I am trying so hard to succeed and I am afraid I will not shrink my liver in time for my surgery next Friday. HELP

good luck, I am actually 10 days away from mine. Are you excited??

I am just here for the comments, please continue.....

That's just plain rude. This is something that you made the choice to do, and she should have given you the opportunity to reveal that information yourself. I don't understand why people feel so negatively about people having wls. It is just mind boggling. You should feel free to express and reveal whatever information you want ,whenever you want, whether it is at work or wherever. THATS YOUR BUISNESS!! It doesn't matter PERIOD. The fact of an individual making it their business to "spread the word" so to speak goes to show you that she can not be trusted with any amount of information you give her....now you know better. I am sorry you had to experience this hun.

Thanks @@jfzimmerman
