UGH... Everyone had such good treats here in my house. Yea for them. Just difficult to get down that Optifast while they were all having the good stuff. My family is being supportive but it's still really hard. I know I will make it through this even though I still have 9 days of liquid left and then 3 more weeks after surgery... yikes!:eek:

Hang in there. I agree about the Valentine's Day treats. I'm just hoping they're gone soon. I tried one Optifast shake and couldn't tolerate it very well. Good luck with your diet. It will be worth it.

Valentines day??? I had the liquid diet over CHRISTMAS!!!! Now that was a killer!!!!

I was on liquids too! I had a fill Tuesday and had to be on liquids for 3 days after that. It did kinda suck, but there will be other Valentine's Days. Hang in there, it will be soooo worth it!

I am also on the pre-op liquids. Isn't it fun? My husband does NOT want me to have this surgery and has expressed this opinion several times. But guess what he bought me for Valentines Day?????? a JUICER!! I thought that this was one of the most thoughtful gifts he has ever given me. I was very touched!:wink_smile:

I'm on pre op liquids too and I just started today...I had my big steak on valentines day for I went on liquids...Surgery date is this friday!

Congratulations minock. This is a tough journey at times and you should celebrate all your victories. Even the seemingly small ones like getting through Valentine's without succumbing to the temptations around you. You did good. :cheers2:

I was on liquids over Christmas too, and the Christmas Parties. Oh, and I was banded on New Years Eve.....Valentine's Day and avoiding sweets? Bah.

I to am on liquid Protein drinks on valentines day, it was tough but everyday on liquid is tough for me at times..my surgery date is the 25th also, where are you located, I am in az east valley..

Hang in there we can do it!

Ugh. Valentine's was my first day on mushies which should have been great, but I was soooooo nauseous all day. It didn't help that we had red velvet cake and cupcakes everywhere. All of it made me sick to even think about!

Thankfully that all passed the next day!

Thanks for all the support! It really helps. I'm still hanging in there - thru day 7 now. My daughter had a cheer competition this weekend and I was out of the house all weekend... one more challenge after another! I'm in Dallas and using the Prestonwood Facility. Dr. Victor Gonzalez... can't wait for the 25th!
