. Yes, most people seem to be required to do it but every doctor is different. Some doctors are all liquids mine is 5 Protein bars/shakes and a low calorie and low fat dinner. He thinks people are more compliant that way. It is hard at first bot then you start thinking about the lifestyle change you are making and you want to do it.

Ecarol you are right. The year flew by, this month not so much.

I just found out yesturday I am having my sleeve surgery on Nov 14th.

I am so excited. I feel like Nov 14th is long ways away now.

Funny you asked this because I just returned from the store with Protein Bars, yogurt (low carb/high Protein brand) and sugar free Popsicles. I just need a good Protein Drink now. My surgery isn't til 11/11 but I figure why not get started now!

[aunger07 15]

I felt the same way. I started mine today.

I am also the the 10th of November!

When do you start your liquid diet? Mine is Oct 28th.

I am at my clinic right now and just finished my meeting with the dietician. I'm officially on full liquids until surgery on 11/4.

I'm not going to lie, I'm really bummed that I don't at least get to have one "goodbye" meal. But like she reminded me, what good is that going to do? It'll just make me start having those horrible cravings again.

So here we go! 21 days until surgery!

I've been working on those changes during my 6 month meetings: not drinking while eating, Proteins first, reading labels, totally cut out pop (even diet) and trying to get all the Water in. Those sugar free additives are a lifesaver!! Next is giving up the straw...ugh. At first I was bummed that my insurance required the 6 months but looking back, I'm glad I had it- this is definitely a lifestyle change for sure!!
