Its going alright....I'm feeling full with the Premiere Protein shake (strawberry & creme)☆☆Their on sale right now at Sam's Club.com☆☆....I'm allowed one meal in the evening and oh boy! do I look forward to 7pm. I checked the scale and the weight is falling off...Amazing!....

My birthday party was last night...All I had was a half of bottle of champagne... no cupcakes, no birthday cake....As I look at my pictures....I can't wait for my belly to shrink....I'm tired of being fat...Come on March 16th...Im ready!

If this makes you feel better - I think the preop diet is so much worse than postop. I have so much more will power after surgery. It makes it so much easier!

Happy birthday by the way!! [emoji3]

Agreed, near the end of the 2 week liquid diet I was so miserable but it's so much better after the surgery. Good luck!

Thanks for the heads up Ladies...I don't really know what to expect before or after surgery....The restricted dieting is such a mental thing....as long as I stay busy..I don't think of chewing!

I just want to say that I hate all you 2 week liquid dieters.

Why 12 weeks? That's cruel and unusual punishment!

My surgeon is a poopie head.

It's funny because I just saw him for a 4 week followup from start of liquid diet and he even admitted I was ready for surgery. We went over my weight loss, my liver function results (normalized liver function tests after 2 yrs of high/dangerously high), my HBA1c drop (from 6.1 to 5.7 -- 1 yr ago was 7.9), etc.

Guess they didn't believe I'd follow the premise of the diet and not lose weight. Oh well. Good news is it's post-semester (due to them moving my finals for me closer by a week) so.. not gonna interfere with a lot.

Just hope I'm not as tired post-op as I was at the start of the liquid diet. I feel like running around.

You get a meal at night? Soo jealous!

I am 7 days in and today was rough!! My liquid diet is 3 packets from this New Direction meal plan. I am jealous of those who get a meal at night but I know it's tough for all of us!!

I'm on day 4 of 3 or 4 Protein shakes/day and unlimited veggies. Before that I did 4 weeks of low carb and high protein and am down 19 lbs!!
