I went Friday to see the surgeon. I had a little slip with my weight. I gained. So he wanted me to start the liquid diet right away instead of Tuesday. But started today. My family wanted to take me out to dinner last night and honestly I needed a day to prepare my head for it.

Friday I have my pre-admission testing. And then surgery on the 6th. I am so focused on the liquid diet so I don't think the fact the 6th is right around the corner has sunken in.

You can do this. I am on day 13 of only liquids and after two days it was not to bad.

Good luck, you can do it! Praying for you!

Good luck- it does get easier. I'm on the last day of shakes. Clear liquids tomorrow and then loser's bench on Tues. We all got this!!!

I was on 14 days of Optifast but could also have lettuce,cucumbers, celery, sf Jello and sf Popsicles. A lot of ppl say the preop diet is the hardest part. It certainly has not been fun! Some ppl have to do 30 days. I don't know if I could have done that.

how about broth, can you have broth? omg...I dont know how anyone could do it 30 days..did you lose alot of wt?

Yes I asked about broth and my nut said yes. That really helped me. I've lost 20 pounds.
