July 7 and I cannot wait. I am so excited. I am on full liquid as of yesterday but just realized I didn't need to start it until tomorrow. Doh! I have been doing a modified for the last two weeks...two shakes, yogurt snack and high Protein meal.

Had a last weigh in with the nut today and am so happy I am down a total of 30lbs from my highest weight and I am hoping for another 7lbs before surgery date.

Ok, be honest....has anyone cheated even a little on the pre-op? It is day 5 and I even had a great day......BUT, I got home and next thing you know, I had 2 potato chips with dip and a meatball! I am annoyed with myself. I have 5 more days to go and I KNOW 4th of July will be hard. Sigh.

I'm scheduled for July 13th. Just started the 2 week liquid diet. I can have protien shakes and pureed Soup with protien powder added. I don't really like canned or box Soups so I'm thinking of making homemade vegetable soup and sticking it in the Ninja.

Has anyone else made homemade soup for their liquid diet? Any good ideas?

I did really good on day 1and 2 but i have to admit I cheated.... I am so disappointed in my self I want to cry. I will try really hard tomorrow. I have to NOT cook for husband until I'm done with this liquid diet. Plus, I'm not used to having headaches. I ate a piece of a plain baked chicken breast and the headache instantly went away.

Don't beat your self up, it happens. I have 4 days left and I've stuffed up a couple of times just my habit. When making food for my siblings and I taste it to make sure it's cooked enough, and then I realise 'oh shit'. Can't really do much after you've swallowed it. As long as your making the effort and don't just ride the whole day off from a little slip up you'll be fine I reckon. What date if your surgery??

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
