You are warriors remember that! I am one week out til surgery and I am getting nervous and scared as I am very high risk...BMI is 79 a couple of weeks ago after losing 75 lbs. I hate this 2 week liquid diet too, but I keep telling myself this is how it has to be to reach my goal to live a happier healthy life. Just think about your health, shopping, quality of life, being more active without hurting and that will get you thru I promise. Wishing you and everyone else the best.

Today is day 8 of my liquid diet. My surgeon requires 14 days of an entirely liquid diet, but I allowed myself cooked veggies on days 4 and 5. So, I guess I technically cheated. I am doing good now, though. I have my pre-op apt in 2 days, hoping to see a good amount of weight lost so far! I have been avoiding the scale so that I won't be obsessive. How's everyone else doing? Any other "cheaters"? haha

To bjcarver,

I haven't cheated but it seems like my pre surgery diet is different. I have 3 to 4 Protein Shakes a day, then a Lean Cusine meal or that type 350 calories or less.

Today, the day before my surgery, I am really packing in the liquid. Then for dinner I am going to have a big fluffy salad with lots of green, cooked ground turkey and ricotta cheese. Some lite ranch or cesar dressing or lemon pepper sprinkle and I should be good.

Nothing after midnight, but I should be in bed by 9 or 10. So that will be my last of anything which will probably be lemon Water or perhaps some Jello.

I'm ready for tomorrow.

      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.

      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!!
