    My surgery is Jan 8. I start my pre op diet on the 1st and have not had great communication with my doctor because he is German. He says full liquid diet meaning anything I can drink from a cup. I'm so nervous for the diet and surgery....but I'm super ready to get it started!

    I start tomorrow too. Can't wait!

    That sucks that they don't have it written down for you. My surgeon has books that they hand out that tells you everything from pre op to post op. I'm so glad of that or I would be calling my nut every 5 minutes.

    Thanks! I'm glad I have a surgery buddy! It's nice to compare stories! What's your diet like? Mines not to bad I still get food. I'm so glad it's not straight shakes.

    Cool beans! We can do this!

    My 2 weeks consist of 2 shakes/2meals! I tried just shakes on yesterday, DAY ONE, and felt terrible. So decided to stick with the diet my dr recommended and feeling such much better on DAY TWO.

    How are you fairing

    It's rough not eating what you want. I'm not hungry but my head says I am. But I'm not giving up! It's going to be rough but I'm in this for the long haul! I'm ready to be healthy again! :) happy new year too us!!

    Day22 of 4 week liquid diet :-/ Surprisingly I have managed a loss of 17 pounds. Got 6 pounds left to lose in the next 7 days. The diet wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't during the holidays.
