Began my two week pre-op liquid diet today. I've been so apprehensive about this particular step. Not the surgery though! I ate a healthy dinner last night. Woke up excited. I now have only 13 days, 19 hours, and 34 minutes until surgery!

Good luck! The pre-op diet is rough, but keep focused on the bigger picture and you'll make it!

Good luck!! I begin my pre-op very soon.

only 13 days, 19 hours, and 34 minutes until surgery!

Good Luck!! You're going to be soooo happy in a few weeks....!!!!

If you can get past the first three days of pre op then the rest will be so much easier.

Well I'm almost done with day 1: protein shakes, broth, strained mushroom soup, vitamins, and lots of water is my diet for the day. Feeling ok so far but it's odd not eating anything solid. But no weakness or real hunger yet, so here's hoping this continues to go well! Thank you, all!

And oh yeah... I can't stop peeing!

I'm so excited for you! It's going to be an amazing journey! Lots of hard emotional and physical work ahead, but the payoff is WAY worth it! I am almost 1 year post op and past my goal weight. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything! Good luck!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Day 2 down!
