I really must revive this thread. It's helping get me in the right frame of mind for this pre-op diet.

Ok, I've just got to put my two cents in this discussion. I WISH I could be on my two week liquid diet right now! I have no surgery date, I'm still jumping through the hoops needed to get insurance to pay for this. I'm stuck at a job I don't like because I have to keep the insurance going till after my surgery - which there is no guarantee that I will get. You people are LUCKY!!!! Two weeks out of an entire lifetime ain't JACK! Give me a chance to suck down all the Meal Replacement drinks! Give me a chance to be two weeks from my surgery! I will do everything I can to shrink my liver down to the size of a postage stamp if that is what I need to do to have my surgery! Count your blessings!!!! You're almost there!!!

Touche! I will not complain. You are absolutely right, I am very lucky. I read a post a while back where someone said their insurance didn't cover surgery so they dropped it and signed up for Obamacare insurance and it was covered. Not sure what is entailed in that but it may be worth checking into.

I have needed this firm Nealy 2 weeks ago. I have struggled the whole way. So sad. I am scheduled for Friday. I pray that all is well for me to have this even though I cheated nearly everyday (I know please keep me lifted). I am feeling really good today though. I had two shakes and my salad. I plan to have another shake and a Protein Bar. I know my nutritionist would be proud of all, well minus the dressing on my salad :(

Craving carbs sooo badly! This is my 2nd week on my mostly liquid diet. 2 shakes, veggies, a high Protein low carb dinner, sf Jello and sf Popsicles a day. Will be doing this until my surgery date because I suck at losing weight on my own. Hence the need for surgery. Lol. Waiting for ins approval then I can get a date. Hopefully the end of October. My husband hasn't killed me yet. That is a plus

      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!!
