The 6th for me! I am so ready. I'm starting to feel comfortable on the liquid diet and I'm enjoying watching the scale go down. It makes all the agony in those first two days worth it.

Great to hear and congrats! I start my 2 wk liquid diet tomorrow and I’m so nervous

Surgery is wednesday. I'm on day 6 of 7 pre op liquid diet and it's gotten much easier. The first two or three days were rough but its better now. I find when I drink my protein drinks that that fills me up pretty well and I drink the broth for dinner because it relaxes me for bed and then snack on jello and popsicles if I want. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm getting anxious for surgery but I'm so ready. I'm down 10 lbs just 5 days in this pre op liquid diet!!!! I haven't seen this number in a long long time and I'm really happy!

I'm doing about the same thing for my liquid phase. Just one more day to get thru work!

Random question for those who have already gone through the surgery. How do you take your vitamins on an empty stomach? If I take vitamins on an empty stomach it makes me sick to my stomach and I don't want to risk that right out of surgery. Any suggestions?

You can ask your nutritionist. I know our program starts you on a children's chewable at day 4 after surgery. That continues until week four and then you still take but add b12 calcium and D. Each program will vary

Kimmy Kaye, I find it easier for me to not be distracted when I'm at work. When I'm at home I just keep staring at the goldfish crackers on top of the fridge begging me to eat them. LMAO. I'm glad I have someone going through it the same day as me. Keep in touch okay?

Oh my goodness, I couldn't do work from home right now. It would be torture. The biggest torture right now is cooking for my kids. I always snacked on whatever I was cooking as I cooked so it's been so hard for me to just cook the food!!!! But I'm proud of myself for sticking to it. I didn't think I was going to be able to do it, but I have!

??????????Sending best wishes to everyone having their surgery today and tomorrow! I’m so excited for all of you!
