Thanks for the help. I just kept thinking 7 days was a little excessive. I think i will just take it slow.

I have been told to be on liquids only for one week after a fill. I was just wondering if anyone could help explain why this is necessary. I am just a little curious about this, because it seems like you should be able to do soft foods at least. I guess my question really is what does everyone elses doctors tell them. Thnaks for any advice.

I am getting my surgery done @ the Prestonwood Surgical Center in Plano, Tx. I am so ready for tomorrow to get here. I hope everything goes well for you also. Please let me know how you are doing. Greg

It looks like you have 9 or 10 days until surgery. I think you will be fine, you can't change the past, so just move on and do better tomorrow.

I'm not sure, but like you said it seems that more and more on here are saying 2 weeks. I hope everything goes well for you. Like I stated earlier just stay busy, it definately helps keep your mind off of food.

I am having the procedure done through TLC Edge out of Dallas. I just ordered the shakes through them on my first appointment. I am not where you could get them, but maybe a GNC or something like that has them.

I am on Optifast shakes. They have chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. I have to say that noe of them are to bad. I was first on Atkins something until the optifast came in. The Atkins ones were fine they just had a little chalky after taste to me. I would have thought I would be sick of them already, but surprisingly it has gotten better after the first few days. I have just learned already to stay active, if I don't my head starts thinking about food. I hope this helps you out.

I know thats what I thought, but thats what they wanted me to do.

Yes I will definately let you know how things go. I am also be banded on Thursday, so we will be pretty much on the same schedule. Also, keep me up to date on how you are doing. I think a strong network of friends will definately help make this process succesful for everyone.

I haven't posted since I first found out when my surgery date was. I am now into day 12 on liquids with just 2 more days until surgery. I am very excited about this, and I hope to share my experience with everyone on here. I hope that I can help out just like I made need the help as I continue on my journey.

Thanks-I cannot wait for this journey to begin.

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and guess just looking for a supporting cast plus people who have been there and done that. This is my first post. My name is Greg, and I am sure that I have a similar story to most people on here. I have always been overweight to a certain extent. I have been on many diets lost some, didn't on others, but always seemed to gain it back. I am scheduled to start liguids on Feb. 12 with surgery on Feb. 26. I am very excited about this. I am really not sure what else to say other than I hope that I can make alot of new friends on this site, because I know the better support staff I have the more it will help. I am glad there is community like this for all of us. Greg
