I have surgery wednesday...can't wait but I will still be on liquid for a week....

Hang in there, you can do it!!!!!

I feel for you! The 2 week all liquid diet prior to surgery is HECK. Especially since there is nothing physically holding you back from eating. (trust me after surgery you'll be forcing liquids) All you have to rely on is your sheer will power. And I was always thinking "like HELLO if I had will power I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. You just have to keep reminding yourself how important it is for the overall outcome of the surgery. I know food is tempting but if the surgeon feels like you weren't adhering to your diet he could cancel and postpone your surgery. My surgeon thought about it because I was suppose to lose 20lbs and I only lost 10lbs. Just remember the last thing you want is complications. YOU CAN DO IT! Keep up the good work...and congrats

Yayyyy! Your almost at the goal. Don't stop now, you can do this!

Nothing tastes as good a thin!

For those who are having trouble with just 2 weeks of a liquid diet.....I was on a liquid diet supervised by a doctor when I lived in California for 8 months. It was hard but then I was looking at my health and weight loss. I lost over 80 pounds on this liquid diet and at that time I have 3 choices.....vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Since that time the Protein shakes have come a long way and are much better now. If you can not make it on a 2 week liquid diet then you are in for a big surprise after you have your WLS. This is a life change and not a quick fix. You will still have to say not to foods that are not good for you. This will not control the food that you put into your mouth.

Remember that you are doing this for your health and a longer life. So really what is 2 weeks.

I could not imagine being on a liquid diet for 8 months.

I just started my clear liquid diet today! My surgery is next tues march 13. I completely understand how hard it is!! I have just been trying to focus on other things and keep my mind busy so that I don't obsess about food. Hang in there we can do this together!! Good luck!

^{Actually its saving your life!!}

Hang in there you can do this! It's worth it and every pound you lose now is hopefully gone forever.
