@@monopoly2015 I can't have meals either really, except I guess I do count my broth & cottage cheese as a meal. I save that up all day & have it for my dinner. I thought if I gave myself something to look forward to I would be less likely to feel so deprived on straight liquids all day. I have a friend that's having her surgery the 6th with a different Dr than me & she can have a lean meat & salad for dinner. Its weird how different drs have different guidelines. I'm scared to cheat though. I'm afraid it will somehow cause me problems during or after surgery, or that when he gets in there he'll be able to tell lol. @@losing.it.lulu I feel the same way. I think my body has just gave up at this point on ever seeing solids again. I told hubby tonight that I think my stomach feels like it would reject anything solid if I even tried lol. :)

Mine is the 14th. I am so ready!

Day 12 of 16... still going strong... 12.6 pounds lost... just checking in... how are you guys doing?

Edited by losing.it.lulu

I'm on day 6 of 10. I'm down 6 pounds since I started the actual liquid diet Sunday. I started a doing 2 shakes & a lean meal 12/4 when I found out for sure that I would get to have surgery January 7th & all together I'm down 12 pounds from that. Today has been my easiest day yet on the liquid diet. People at work have tried so hard not to even talk about food this week, lol, but I told them today I'm pretty much over it now. Its almost like a new habit to me now lol.

Good luck tomorrow everyone! I'm relaxing at a hotel in San Diego tonight & my ride will be here at between 9&930 in the morning to take me across the border. I'll post as soon as I

Have my wits about me after surgery lol.
