    Congratulations!

    There are two things that helped me stick to the liquid diet.

    1. I stayed focused on my end goals which was to get healthy and I knew i needed to be strong.

    2. I took one hour and one day at a time and tried not to think about how long i would be on strictly liquids.

    What i found was after day 2, I really did not care anymore and that made it easier to handle.

    Lastly, I would not have survived without good homemade chicken broth. You get so sick of the sweet taste of the Protein shakes that homemade, well seasoned chicken broth keep me going. I practically lived on it for those 2 weeks and the 3 weeks post op as well.

    Make it homemade though because that crap in a can tastes like dirty dishwater. Blech!

    Best of luck to you. Bypass was the best thing I ever did. Now i am about to have my second plastics surgery and I cannot beleive it has already been two years for me.

    I can say this for sure!! KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE!!! Remember why you are doing this surgery. Just think if you don't do the preop they could cancel your surgery. Also, I hope they explained that the preop is best to shrink your liver which in turn makes the surgery better for the Dr and for you!! Afterward, you won't have a hard time. You more than likely won't be hungry at all. for the most part!! You can do this!! After all of your hard prep for your journey you are almost there. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
