I had a long day of pre-op yesterday and today is my last day of real food. I start a 10 day liquid diet tomorrow and feel rather emotional about it. I'm excited because I've wanted this for so long, yet I'm scared that I won't be able to conquer this diet. I know that it is the one last hoop I must jump through, but it is such a long time to be strong. I'm trying to think like the bariatric team told me yesterday - this is my part in making my actual surgery a success (shrinking my liver so the surgeon can do his part with ease).

Since misery loves company...who else is starting or doing the liquid diet?

Day 5 - Finally, it is getting a little easier. I still get hungry, but the protein shakes fill me up. I'm not having cravings or feeling sad about not eating. It is actually kind of freeing to not have to think about what to eat...just have another shake! I'm half-way there...

Yay, Truckerchic! How are you feeling? Tell us all about your experience (if you are up to it).

Im home now only 1 day in which was fine with me lol im doing good very achey almost like ive done a whole bunch of sit ups. I did 35 gr of protein and 5 cups of water. Sleeping in the recliner tonight, to hard to get up from laying position and between sipping, peeing and the need to get up and move very hour just easier. Up all went well and I feel pretty good.
