I am 6 days away from my actual surgery date:) I am so excited. I have been on the liquid diet since the 2nd. I will say I have cheated once (on day 3 or 4) ...2 bites of chicken casserole, I felt so guilty afterwards I wanted to cry. I have stuck to it religiously besides the one weak moment. My family has eaten as usual & I have even went through fast food lanes & grabbed them food. I stayed focus by reminding myself that if the end result of eating is being satisfied then choose the protein shake or broth instead of cheating & being unhealthy. I still have hunger pangs at times but am learning that many of those are short lived. I learned through Weight Watchers that a craving only lasts 5-10 minutes so change your focus & the craving will pass. I will remain on the liquid diet for 7-10 days post op in order for my body to heal. I will then be released for soft foods. I am getting more excited with each passing day!!! I am down 10 lbs in 9 days & I know this is just the beginning!

Congratulations and best of luck to you!
