I'm on September 28th to! Best of luck!

I did not do good on my liquid diet this weekend Weekends are always my downfall, through the work week I do great, then we start going out and doing stuff and I lose all focus and make bad decisions. My pre-op is the 31st, here's to hoping I have lost weight since my last appointment.

Definitely suffering from "last supper syndrome" haha but you're right, it's best to get used to it now versus struggling after.

I started my liquid diet today and ugh I think I got the wrong Protein powder. It was horrible, but I am going to be diligent. I have no room for error. The weight is coming off slowly but surely. I don't see how people can last 3 weeks.

How do you know the weight Is coming off. You just started the pre op today?

I've been weighing myself before hand. So I was dropping weight as well prior to me starting the liquid diet today. I guess I should've made myself more clear. Lol

I had a really hard time with the powders... I definitely preferred the premade ones like Premier. The powder ones just always tasted chalky or gritty to me, now matter how much i blended them.

I have tried a few and it really just depends on the brand! I have tried some "premium" powders and some low cost powders. It seems to very widely. It seems like company and price really don't have much to do with it. I bought a powder from Aldi's that was just as good as one bought from GNC!

All I can say is they very widely, so don't judge a book by it's cover! Keep trying till you find one you like. Some very within the brand as well. Eventually you will find one you like, and then it will be time to move on to pureed foods! There you go!

Keep busy and the time will fly.

I start my liquids tomorrow, but I have done his before. Hopefully everything will work out this time and my surgery will happen as scheduled!
