@@MiloAndTheDiamonds - welcome to the family and come here and post - we have all had doubts/problems/issues etc at some point.

People here generally will offer as much support as we can, through responding, and lending a virtual ear.

You are definitely not alone. You have a whole world-wide community of support and advice here. Seriously, where else could you learn about the experiences of so many different people? And we all have different experiences with different aspects of this journey.

Don't focus on weight loss with the liquid pre-op diet. The main purpose of it is to be high Protein and low carb/low calorie to shrink your liver, the main purpose is not weight loss. So don't obsess on the scale right now and just trust in the process and stick with it and you'll be fine.

And I think the idea of starting up a support group in your country sounds like a fantastic idea for you to lead! Try talking to your surgeon's office about it and see if there would be interest from the other patients there and perhaps even the surgeon's office will provide a room there in the practice where you could meet.

Hey! I just wanted to thank all of you one more time! After reading all this wonderfull answers I felt so much better. I've been focused on taking care of myself, surrounding myself with positive people and doing my best with my liquid diet. Thank you so much! You all helped me a lot

Milo. Ian having surgery June 10th in Mexico. I have only shared with my husband and he really doesn't want to talk too much about it although he is really supportive. So yes I'm very nervous too,how do I explain my bizarre eating habits to people that don't know. My birthday is one wk following surgery and I have a twin sister...I'm doing this for me and taking life one day at a time...everyone has always come first... Happy birthday too me
