It's good you found an online support group, then! [emoji4] I just joined as well. My surgery is on December 28, and my husband, mom, and 2 friends know and are being very supportive, but I'm waiting until after the surgery to decide if I want to tell more people, so I definitely want the online support as well.
My biggest concerns right now are the liquid diet (terrified I'll be hungry the whole time), and that I'm supposed to try and lose 1-2 lbs/week before the liquid diet, which I've been trying to do for over a month with almost no success. I'm great at planning out my food for work all day but then I'm starving when I come home and eat too much. My surgeon says not too worry, the liquid diet will be very effective, but I'm nervous about being able to even DO that diet. Ugh.
The liquid diet wasn't as hard as I thought it would be but the process is most definitely mental. On the days I cheated, I had convinced myself that it was hard. The Protein Shakes made it hard in the restroom and I was drinking almost 100 ozs of Water. But I did it. I'm scheduled for 6am tomorrow. You can do it. Just think about the after.

Thanks love. Today I'm doing strictly liquids and a detox bath. Hopefully that will help. I've been reading where people haven't had to do a diet at all. I know everybody is different though. I felt so bad for giving in because I really do want this.

Ok soooo....my big day is tomorrow. I've been on a week liquid diet and taking my supplements BUT....I cheated. Drinking 5 shakes a day wasn't the hardest part. The shakes kept my head from hurting and me feeling faint from not eating. One thing I learned was I won't die from not stuffing my face. I had 1 taco on day 3 & 2 chicken wraps on day 5. Has anyone been denied surgery for not following the liquid diet?

I'm on day 6 of my liquid diet. I survived my office holiday party but cheated on the 3rd and 5th day. I ate a taco supreme from taco bell and then 2 chicken wraps from McDonald's. I had convinced myself the liquid diet was hard but it really wasn't. I just keep thinking about afterwards. And to be honest, I didn't get the comfort from the taco or wraps. They actually tasted funny. The liquid diet is uncomfortable and scary but you can do it.
