What a day to start the begining of this journey this new life for me. The birthday of this great nation. I hope that it is a sign of good things to come.

I know that this is going to be probably one of the hardest things that I will do, but I know that I have to do this. Today I start my liquid diet for 2 weeks.

I have read so many of the posts, and you all are very encouraging. I wish each and every one of you a great 4th of July!!!

You'll do great! For me the hardest part was days 3 through 5 of the pre-op diet - that's when I had the cravings. Today is day 6 - but no cravings today. Others have said it gets easier too, and I have to admit, it is easier today.

Good luck with your surgery.

Thank you Nancy!

Good luck on your pre-op diet. By day 5 or 6 I was pretty use to it and I looked forward to my shakes (weird huh?) The time will fly You will do great.

Congratulatons to you both Kelly and Nancy!!! You can totally do this!! It does get easier. Just the first couple of days the body seems to wonder what's going on LOL. Don't forget lots of fluids, SF popsicles, SF jello (of course, if you are allowed, most people are). They really help get through those moments of craving... it's weird but after a while they pass. Good luck to you both!!! You totally got this!!! Happy 4th!
