I'm scheduled for Dec. 15. Started my Liquid Protein diet yesterday, Dec 1. 4 Protein Shakes per day, Clear Liquids, Jello, Popsicles, hot tea and broth. So far, I am hanging I there. Didn't think I could do this. food commercials on TV are the worse. Cooking for the family is the next worse thing.

I actually started my 2 week liquid diet today. Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello or pudding and Popsicles. broth. I made homemade Soup for family so I got to have the broth. Actually a good day they say 2-3 is the worst.

Welcome mroth. the 15th is my date too. Just remember you being healthy is the best thing you can do for all your family. Hang in there.

mroth - I so get it! I just returned from a holiday party where I played invisible well. My daughter went with me. In theory it was with friends and should have been great, but I had a hard time making conversation at my table and was worried about eating and the pre op and being hungry! I am home and just want to curl up in bed now as I feel emotionally drained. Will the skinny people talk to me when I am thinner? Will my overweight friends avoid me? will I be able to be me?

Good news - I took my 3 oz of left over turkey, I put that on my plate and acted like nothing was different and ate a serving of green Beans and passed all the rest right along past. I stayed with my pre op diet in a social situation.

We can do this, we want to do this, and there is no need to worry about aspects we can't control. We will be fine and we will grow internally as we shrink internally - we got this!

Good Luck Benji. You can do this. Your surgeon want you to lose.

Thank you for the encouragement I need to stay focus ..

[get2chris 28]

Why would your surgery get cancelled? That's not something I have heard of. Good luck to you, just keep on trying!
