Ok so I had surgery 12/19/16 and with having Caresource as well! It was literally a full year start to end! The 9 months go by so quickly! This entire journey is very much mental! You will need to be mentally prepared for all this change that will happen! And I'm not sugar coating anything, be prepared to have moment of total mind fucking. (Excusing my language) but it's going to happen! You will have your visit with your pcp your medical dr surgeon psych nutritionist and in between your testing done! You'll be so focused on making sure you lose and not gain that the length of time will be totally not there! Just be patient! It will come in no time! Now I am 9 weeks out tomorrow I'm down 47lbs and I'm happy with everything! I have days of hardships with food and moments of weakness and yes at time I fail but I don't let it bother me! The 9 months of visits will not mean a thing once you have surgery! You'll be like me and encouraging the next person that the wait is worth it!

Bouncy jeez! You conquered this liquid diet! I like your method! They want me to take 2 premier shakes and split them in half and mix them with skim milk and have that mixture 4x daily.... but if I'm waking up at different times it makes it hard to spread it out. I like how you have it mapped out through your the day! What's the calorie and such on the gene pro Protein?

Today is the last of my 10 day liquid diet. My surgery is tomorrow.
Just wanted to say to those going into the pre op phase that it DOES get easier once you get past the first few days. I started mine the Friday after Thanksgiving (guess if you're going to have a last meal, turkey day is the day to do it!) and it was really hard through the weekend. I was starving, cranky, and had a ton of cravings, plus I had to work 10 hour shifts and everyone in my office eats constantly. Then came a day around the 72 hour mark where I started having the ketosis headaches, fatigue etc, but I just drank a ton of Water to try to flush the junk of out of my system and it passed pretty quickly. Once I got over that hurdle, the past 6 or so days have flew by. Knowing that I'm risking an open procedure if my liver is not in tip-top shape definitely kept me from cheating.
I guess since I'm not on the carb roller coaster any more, I'm not having much cravings and am not thinking about food all the time. My hubby and son can even eat around me without me wanting to kill them. Surprisingly if anything, I'm craving protein/meat. The biggest thing I've realized over the past 10+ days is how much I was eating out of boredom and/or stress. I've noticed that the times I do think about food is when I'm either bored or worrying about something. I think the liquid diet not only prepares you physically for the surgery but starts the process mentally as well.
Good luck to all!

I'm mentally ready for this! I may wanna shoot myself in a few days but I'll beat that head game!
