I am 32 years old I have a nine month old daughter, I started my liquid diet today!!! Yes I'm starving lol however I don't want cheat! It's so hard my surg is next Wednesday! I'm scared but excited having many emotions right now!

Ok I jut weighed and I've lost 10 lbs so far on pre-op!!!! Yayyy

11 lbs my first week of pre-op

7lbs my first week would of been more without the slips

I'm on day 6 of my pre op diet. I can't believe I haven't cheated once. My husband isn't out of shape but agreed to do the liquid diet with me so it's a competition thing. I checked his pockets one day and saw that he purchased a sandwich. I laughed to myself and never mentioned. I really appreciate him being supportive and trying to make this fun for me. I'm having my surgery on 9/13/12 my friends want to hv a celebration the evening before, not sure if I should allow them to because, I can't eat, drink and be much fun. They said give them a list of things I need for my hospital stay so I can get some cute gifts. Any suggestions?

Cute gifts could include an eye mask, pillow (or stuffed animal /pillow pet) for your tummy, heat packs, cute slippers for walking the halls, ear plugs, chap sticks, reading materials, thermos type cup to keep cold things cold or warm things warm.

Thanks.

First day of pre op diet for me today as well. I have a call into my PCP about my diabetic meds. I took my 10 mg glipizide and 1000 mg of meteor min this morning. It was too much apparently as I have bottomed out several times today. Nurse called back and will hold off the evening glipizide, method min and lantus. I am currently at 73 and did take several glucose tablets today. Anyone else have to adjust this quickly? I will talk to doctor tomorrow. He was in ER all day today.

mederma is a gift that stuff cost $30

Finished week one of my two week pre-op liquid diet, down 8 pounds. Even though at times it has been hard, it was nice having friends at work today tell me they can already tell I'm losing weight! I can definitely tell in my clothes and inches. I will now go have another shake!

I finished week 1 and I am down 9 pounds. What helps me not be hungry is i started taking the vitamins you will need post op in the morning. I haven't felt hungry at all

Oh thank you for posting this! I’m not excited to do the liquid diet, so I’m glad to see that you’re not totally hating it lol. Keep up the great work!
