oh...my...god.. pardon my whining. I am a big ball of emotion today. I am on pure liquids now with 6 days until surgery and i feel like quitting so bad, (im not gonna quit but i sure feel like it)..My stomach is making horrible noises...i feel like its screaming "feed me seymour!" my last day of work is this friday. Im really gonna have to dig deep to get through the weekend without screwing up. I feel like the protein shakes arent filling me up anymore. The only thing that is keeping me going is that i can already see my clothes are getting looser. My coordinator is going to weigh me friday and she said she has a post op gift for me. i wonder what it is.

I know just what you mean. I was on full clear liquids for 10 days prior to surgery which was last thursday and will be on full clear liquids until thanksgiving. I am so ready to single handedly starting a zombie apocalypse by taking a chunk out of someone, anyone! My stomach is constantly making the craziest sounds. I never feel full.

But it is what it is. No one said this will be easy so until the doc gives the ok, i will continue to starve. On the bright side, i have lost 15 pounds since last thursday and in the past that would NEVER have happened without losing a limb!

The only thing I have to say is drink the shakes more frequently and if need be make them larger. I did that towards my operation and the hunger went away.

Agreed and drink them slowly. Keep busy, try to keep your mind occupied with other things. I'm excited but very anxious about Tuesday, for me this week is flying by. I've lost 16 lbs in the week and a half on my liquid diet. I've kind of shut down my mind and told myself this is all there is to eat/drink. I'm lucky, really haven't felt very hungry

Im supposed to be drinking 6 protein shakes yesterday i drank 4 so maybe an extra 2 will help. So far i find the hardest part is when i am cooking dinner for my family. Im so used to "taste testing" Last count was 9lbs down. i know ive lost more though. ill wait until i get weighed by the coordinator though, my scale is retarded and will give me 5 diff readings. i got all my important papers in order already so ill prob just spend the weekend cleaning the house and tackling the mess that is my closet.

Hope,

DON'T cook dinner for your family. Smell and sight will make you hungry. Trust me they can survive without you. When I was on my 12 week liquid diet I moved to the den during dinner time. I am the one who always cooked dinner for everyone. They made out okay. I assume they are your biggest supporters. It's only for another 4-6 weeks. Explain to them what you are going through, I'm sure they will understand.

Wow, I am feeling anxious too. I start my liquid diet next Tues, Nov 12TH. My surgery is Nov. 19th.

i wish that were the case Bob but my kids are 2 and 5 and my bf wouldnt know whether to scratch his watch or wind his a$$ if i wasnt there. lol.. my biggest supporter and one of my only supporters is...well..me.. and all the wonderful people on here. I even banned my bf from coming to the hospital with me b/c he will stress me too much so my sister will be taking me.
