My surgery is scheduled for February 25th. I have my Preop appointment this coming Thursday and I am close to the 10 lb weight loss required prior to this pre-op appointment....so I started my liquid diet 2 days early. I know I will be where I need to be for this appointment....but this liquid diet is going to be hard. I am drinking the Atkins advantage shakes. I can have 4 per day....that means as of right now I have 62 left to drink before my surgery....I don't know if I should laugh or cry : ). I am excited about the upcoming changes in my life and look forward to what is to come. I am also nervous about my ability to stick with it. How did you deal with feeding the rest of your family while on the liquid diet? I made breakfast for everyone this morning but I have a feeling that is going to get very hard to do over the next few days.

here is my pre-op diet, im on 8 weeks of low-fat milk no food at all & a glass of salt water every day at 2pm, 2 weeks down 6 more to go, I had a dinner party to cook for last night and while they all eat I drank my 350mls of milk, what keeps me going is if I dont do this opp I will be in a wheelchair in 4yrs time so i have a picture of a wheelchair on my fridge so look for what is spurring you on and keep that your up most focus in your mind the best of luck and it will be here before you know it xxx#

Good insight : )
