I made the decision that the liquid was more a psychological test. And I told myself that I had to really try it to make sure that I would be able to do it after surgery. I'm a giant emotional/stress/happy eater so I figured that if I couldn't do the two weeks that I might not be able to go through it. I got one of the little high power blenders and used ice and extracts when I made the shakes. Put coconut in the vanilla, rum extract in the chocolate, etc. I also did the bullion cubes. After the first few days, it was easier. I only cheated once, a cup of a crawfish soup. 12 pounds loss. I also told everyone. A few people were not supportive, but most were. I figured that the more that knew that I was testing myself the better.

I was called back in November, went thru the two screenings but it took til this week to get my surgery date. June 21. I'll be doing it in shreveport with dr. Merriman. Did anyone use him?

Please don't lie. People lie about things they are ashamed of and this is something to be celebrated and proud of. The lies will cause so much more gossip, since people will know. I haven't seen anyone yet who had bariatric surgery that everyone didn't figure it out. IF you own the release of information you remain in control of the negative comments and gossipers. Good luck.

I am 5 days into the liquid diet before the second screening. I have an ugly day tomorrow that includes a 6 mile walk and being away from my house for 10 hours. Panicking on how to stay on track. Did they go through everyday of the food diary at the second visit?
