Well it's finally here! Surgery is next Thursday may 30th and my liquid diet starts today! I know I CAN AND WILL do this! Just nervous about going out of town with family for holiday! But I will make it through! I'm so glad that I found this forum! I feel like I'm such an outsider in my town! I have some supportive friends and others that think this is way to radical! But to each their own I'm the one that walks in these shoes everyday! Thanks for listening! Any pointers and tips would be great for gojng out to eat this weekend!

Well congratulation on starting liquids your that much closer to goal. I've been on liquids for 3 days, except for a few cravings It hasn't been hard "yet". I take all my vitamins, have 4 protein shakes, broth, jello, water, 1 quest bar, and Popsicles. I also chew a lot of sugar free cinnamon gum (Dentyne Fire), it's been a life saver. I can say I have not felt hungry. So I guess I'm lucky so far. Good luck on yours,and stick with it.
