I'm only four days in to two weeks of full liquids prior to June 8 sleeve date and met with surgeon Thursday for prevealuation, approvals, anesthesiologist etc., and I already lost five pounds! Everything's a go and for those of you who are struggling with 'time' waiting, uncertainty, self doubt...hang in there. I've been second guessing myself for months and now it's ten days away. Sure it's hard giving up food emotionally but to gain my health, comfort, confidence and energy will be worth it! I'm so used to not losing weight in the past (or gaining) I was elated to see a few pounds gone in a couple days. Commit, dedicate and be confident. It IS possible ????

Congratulations on your progress! I'm also pre-op (first day of pre-op diet). I'm pretty nervous about how I'll do on the liquid diet but I'm determined to be successful! Keep us updated on your progress!

I have not been scheduled yet, but I was told that I would have to be on a 1 week pre-op liquid diet since I am close to the 40 BMI marker and it would be devastating if I went below and could not have surgery. I know when my turn comes, I will be out of my mind weighing in everday. I purposefully gained 10 lbs so that I could have that as cushion before the pre-op diet. I am sure it wont be easy.

Hang in there - you can do it!
