my rny is scheduled for valentines day! my nutritionist wants me to start my liquid diet this Thursday 3 weeks before my surgery.. I'm so nervous! she wants me to have 6 shakes a day no food at all and she said I can snack with sugar free jello and Popsicles .. how did everyone do it!? I need to get my mind focused on my ultimate goal ! the most challenging thing for me is I'm a stay at home mom to my 2 yr old daughter , who I have to feed breakfast lunch and dinner so avoiding food is almost near impossible ! anybody that has any tips for me I would greatly appreciate it!

I just stared my two week liquid diet. When I am tempted to eat, I just think about what the end result will be after surgery! Stay strong. You can do it.

Hi...im seven post-op and I was not placed on liquid

Hi...im seven post-op and I was not placed on liquid diet until day before surgery. ...Am wondering why many of you need to be on it for weeks before??? Im under Kaiser Permanente. I did a 12 week program. .list 10 lbs total from beginning of program till day of surgery. I knw some say 10% weight loss us required. ..but not for me...my hubby is scheduled for his surgery on February 11 and he too has to only do liquid diet day before..

Im seven days post op...oops

I am scheduled for RNY Valentines Day, as well. I do a pre-op on Feb 5 and meet with the nutritionist for the 3rd time, but I don't know if I will be required to do a liquid diet. Just keep your eye in the prize and if u slip up, brush it off and carry on! You will do fine.
