Thanks for the encouragement! I know it is worth it.... I lost 15 pounds already, but the variety of clear liquids is small

It totally sucks, I didn't think I would make it either. I don't even remember obsessing bout food this much when I was able to eat it lol Good Luck, you'll make it, just think of the prize in the end. Kerry

I start mine on the first of September, oh I just hope I can find enough to keep me from going crazy lol. Actually the first week isn't too bad as I get to have protein drinks twice or if needed a 3rd one and I get to eat protein and salad for one meal a day which I will probably do at work so they are not aware of what I am doing. The 2nd week is liquids only then the last 3 days is going to be clear liquids only. Thank goodness it is only for 3 days. I think I can handle the week of just protein shakes even though I don't like them or just haven't found one other then the 4 for 9 bucks here but the calories are high in them carnation instant breakfasts.

Good luck on Monday and can't wait to read your surgical experience.

Just remember what is at the end of the tunnel.... your sleeve....
Keep yourself busy so you dont think of it. Go hang out with friends
or family.... Do anything.... go clean.... something.... walk... Anything....
exhaust yourself so you dont think of what your doing...

hang in there because the bigger picture is around the corner.
good luck and I pray for a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery for you

Hi there!! I had to be on a liquid diet for 3 weeks before surgery! It's all mind over tummy! There were days that I wanted to just throw in the towel, but then I thought, if I can't be on liquids without cheating... maybe this surgery isn't for me. I made it and I was sleeved on 8/15!! So happy I did it!! :o) I know you can do it!!! All I could have for my liquids were 1c chicken broth, 4 protein shakes, crystal light, sf jello and popcicles, and water!! Trust me.. alllllll liquids!!

Good Luck to you on your Journey!!!

Day 2 for me and I start clears on Saturday. Bedtime is the worst for me. I can stay busy until bedtime. Do things that you've put off you'll feel good about accomplishing those and good about your journey. Stay away from things that can suck you in. Find something else to do instead. You can do it!
