Tomorrow I start my 10 day liquid diet. I'm prepared have my Jello setting in the fridge, Protein shakes ready and veggies and fruit proportioned out. Surgery on 9/11, and I can't wait. I'm anxious to finally see what people have always said. ” if I lost weight id be gorgeous”. Bring it on, I'm ready to be all that I can

Congrats on the decision. The first 2 days are hard but if you keep sipping diet tea and eating the recommended veggies 1-2 times a day you can get through it. I asked my doctor and he said lime juice, hot sauce etc are fine so I used that instead of calorie free dressing that I did not like.

I wish I had tried chicken and veggie broth sooner than the clear liquid only day before surgery. If your doctor allows, that is a good option if you get tired of sweet shakes.

I'm on day three and hanging in there! YOU can DO THIS! (and our surgeries are on the same day! - YAY US!)

Thank you for the tips pgkpjs!

I start mine on Sunday..........still in denial until I have that first shake........then decisions will be easy, vanilla or chocolate shake. I get 1 serving of fruit and 1 of veggies a day.......I think carrots might be my friend, I can imagine I may want the crunch and chew.....who knows. I have heard everything how to make the shakes taste better, less water = pudding, more ice=shake, cold is better. I may even add my serving of fruit in there for a change up. I can also have sf popsicles and sf jello in moderation (not every day). good luck
