I dont know...i guess its through trial and error they think this is better then opti fast or any other method...but i dont know...it WILL be hard but yeah, i will strictly follow it, because its for my own good. I even asked if Optifast was better....cuz if it was i wouldve paid...but they say no. So at least theyre not doing this optifast for the profit. And it seems like they want the best diet for my safety and to shrink my liver. I have faith in them.

If you can do it, that's what counts.

Many times... well think about it. Some people are just plain stupid. And it is easier to make it simple and easy for everyone and to limit food to two choices vs. giving the stupid of the world a chance to think.

I know, that sounds mean but it's true. I've had patients eat their suppositories, ram suppositories up their butt without removing the foil wrapper and they question why that hurts. They drink their enemas, and put contraceptive jelly on their morning toast. Sometimes you get to a point that you just make it easy for everyone instead of assuming some folks have a working brain.

That's why I suggested that if you think you will fail at cottage cheese and yogurt to ask WHY *those* two foods. You seem to have a working brain and critical thinking skills. Not everyone has those abilities. In medicine people get lazy and instead of figuring out which people have the ability to think they just make it easy across the board.

WOW, i'm a health science student, hopefully medstudent to-be. I guess you learn a lot about people when you work with them...especially when they come to you when they do something stupid, you can learn much about how some people are stupid. I like the one about the falling on the flashlight...please don't tell me people still use that line. Oh doctor, i tripped and fell on the flashlight and now i can't remove it from my rectum. HAHAH

I've had patients claim to fall on a coke bottle.

I'm telling you, people are stupid.

I've had women explain that they don't have the slightest idea why they have bite marks on their breasts.

I've had women claim they didn't know it was not cool to put a telephone (the whole thing) in their vagina.

I've had men claim not to know that you should remove the aluminum foil wrapper on a suppository before ramming it up their back sides.

I've had patients claim that the years worth of needle tracks on their arms, legs, and eye balls were from others holding them down and injecting expensive drugs in their veins. Strangers do this, mind you.

And they do it often.

Tell me, how often does the medical profession give adults a baby bottle of salt Water with a 6" nipple coated with KY jelly? Seriously, how often does that happen?

ANYONE who works with people have stupid people stories. I have been in medicine for over 20 years and I don't know how the world doesn't know stupid people out number the smart people. :)

Please, don't even try liquid Vitamins. They are seriously disgusting. They even stink. You might be able to do it for a short time but long term? I don't know anyone that has.

I have to disagree. I buy liquid vitamins from liquid Health and they have no bad taste whatsoever. You can drink it straight or mix it in juice. Everyone has their opinion, but I like these!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
