I am so nervous! I start my liquid pre-op diet in the morning. I am so excited to start this journey, but I am nervous about this liquid diet. I desperately want to succeed. I am afraid I will be a bear!

For those of you who have done the pre-op liquid diet, how long does it take to "get into the groove" of the pre-op diet routine. What satisfies you the most? Are you always hungry? Ant tips are appreciated!

The liquid diet is rough but you can do it!! I am on it now and holding on tight for one week now!! I feel great!!

hi chamie.......its mind over matter......day 3 and i knew i could do this......so can YOU....me and shr are here for you if you need us. (read my blog, i tell you how i am handling it)

LOL!!!

You guys are GREAT!! Thanks for the support! I am sure I will need it!! I am scheduled for surgery on 6/12/12. i am soooooo excited!!!!!

june 6 for me.........just picture that date. i told hub it was my birthday. the new me.

I also start the liquid diet tomorrow. I am scared to start it but it is only one week for me. My band date is June 4th. I look at it as one day closer to the band. Good luck to us all.

Starting mine tomorrow. It is optifast so at least I don't have to think about what to eat. Good luck.

The liquid diet is tough at first but gets better. I got frustrated once during the second week but I got over it. You'll be amazed at how your body adjust to such changes.

I think you'll do great. Just set your mind to it. There's lots of support here and lots of people who has been where you are.

Just keep in mind why you're doing this and know that it's on temporary. Best of luck to you

It is as others posted mind over matter!! I did liquid only protein shakes. The first few days were hard because I wanted to chew! On day 3 I started putting 7-8 ice cubes in the blender with my powder and I used almond milk. It was like having dessert. I would eat my shake with a spoon and I started looking forward to them. I was banded on may 22 and the first few days were hard and the liquids after surgery for me were harder because I didn't want to even drink but that got better too. Be sure to move around and walk because that is what helps you the most. I am still sore but each day is better. Good luck to you!!

I am more irritable on the liquid as I have been told but I need to be gentle with myself and hope the people in my life keep in mine I am normally not like this and cut me some slack.....I do better with the liquid at home at work it is more of a struggle (food everywhere ) but still going strong.....surgery set for June 6th
