Update: almost done with day 6. Still have a Protein Shake to go. Currently trying to finish my yogurt. I froze it for a texture change which has helped a lot

Freezing it is a good idea!

Confession Time: I haven’t second guessed myself, still not doing so, but I have to confess that in the back of my mind I felt like I would get this surgery and still not be healthy. It was a very negative and very sad thought. I questioned how would this time be any different from the other times that I ate right, exercised like crazy, only to lose a little weight and gain back even more no matter how healthy my diet or exercise regimen. Still I was decided on doing this surgery, I have to try right. Well now I’ve been bit with the positivity bug from all of the well wishes and encouragement that all of you and even my whole medical team instills in me. It finally hit me today that this time, it actually will be different. How do I know? My determination to get healthier, my complete and utter commitment to this process, liquid diet and all. I just cannot fail. So to anyone who is second guessing or feeling like this isn’t going to work. Banish the thought. We’ve got this 😉

I've haven't got to the second guessing myself part yet, but I think that's probably because I haven't made any real changes yet. I'm going on vacation this weekend so I'm waiting until I return to hit it hard. I'm sure it will come though and I'll just remind myself of why I'm here and what I'm going for long term!!

I hear you! Hope they heal up! I had a stressful weekend and now my hormones have gone out of whack. Hope to be feeling better by Thursday. Good luck to us!

Reminding yourself why you made this decision is all you can do. And then committing to the change moving forward is the other half! Have a great vacation!

@Elle_Woods - Yay, my surgery twin!! Welcome to the group!

I haven't hit the nerves yet, but I know they are coming. I'm doing all I can to save all my money so I not only can cover my surgery but also have a cushion just in case. But I'm also balancing that with going on a much needed vacation! But I've also come to terms with the fact that if I need to push my date out I will, but right now it's a go!

I only have to do a 7 day pre-op but it's Protein Shakes only. So that is really going to stink! What does yours look like?
