Been on liquid diet since Saturday (3 1/2 days so far). Started at 360 and in this time I'm already down to 340, which gives me hope for the loss! I read a couple of the current threads from others having problems on the pre-op, and I feel for you, between hunger and lack of loss.. Makes me feel guilty about posting this. I feel the hunger, but really only when it would be time for me to eat.

Anyway, had the UGI test, a nutrition class, and pre-surgery stuff. So far the UGI test was far the worst part, I came very close to vomiting the barium back up.. Ugh, still shuttering! If everything comes back aces I'll be done on the 21st.

I of course have cold feet, but I know its in my head. Having already lost some weight makes the little devil telling me I don't need the surgery. Not being able to continue my old lifestyle gives the same reaction. I know that I have to do this though, statistically I know I cannot do it on my own.

My apologies, this is rather disjointed and rambly, but I had to get my thoughts out

I'm starting liquids next week and an worried how I will handle it. My surgery is Jan. 31.

Cafe,

I found that the pre op diet is not as bad as I thought. The first two days were rough but my body adjusted. Make sure you have plenty of chicken broth sugar free Popsicles and sugar free Jello.

I use premier Protein and syntax nectar for shakes. Good luck.
