So I am enjoying my last soda and already enjoyed a marvelous dinner out with family...of course I didn't say anything about starting my preop tomorrow because I didn't want to hear any rude comments..I'm very excited about it though...water, water, water, jello, cottage cheese, creamy soups, and yogurt...I know it will probably get old but I don't care...I am doing this for my son...I want to see him grow...I am pumped. In 18 days I will be sleeved and sitting proudly on the losers bench!!!!

You will be successful! just keep your mind focused on the goal....and when you need to express yourself, blog on here

You can do this!! Stay strong and keep your eye on the prize

This has been a really good choice for me. I am totally amazed by all the transformations I have gone through. I' do it again in a heart beat!

Congrats!!! The first 3 days will be a bit hard,then the rest is a piece of cake

Congrats on your decision!

I can still taste my last coke. so fizzy ... so cold..... OH, sorry...I was somewhere else for a minute there... CONGRATS! You'll do great!! You get a bit of substance on your pre op diet! That's good, that's good. Time will fly!

SAME (only mine was Diet Pepsi!) I know how much I loved it before, however took a SIP of one last nite for the first time in 5? days and it didn't even taste good. So sugary! (?? diet pepsi?) Anyhow - - brandymarie81, the first few days of the pre-op is hard but by day 3 or 4 I really wasn't hungry at all or craving anything...Which you kind of then have to remind yourself to keep drinking & getting in your Protein. Good luck!! Stick with it - you can do this!

Day 1 down...wasn't all that rough....tomorrow at work will be worse i think...
